Paris, July 17, 2024 – The Notre-Dame-du-Travail church, also known as the Workers’ Church or Gustave Eiffel Church, located on rue Vercingétorix in the 14th arrondissement of Paris, was vandalized between the night of Sunday, July 14, and Monday, July 15, with deadly Islamic threats. The church has filed a complaint, and an investigation has been initiated.
Details of the Islamic Vandalism
The vandalism involved blasphemy, vandalism, and attempted arson. Insulting slogans were spray-painted on the church walls, including:
- “Submit to Allah infidels, pray 5 times a day”
- “Bastard Jesus, one god only Allah”
- “Satanic Babylon, the church is dead”
- “The church will burn first”
- “The last prophet Mohammed”
- “Heads will roll for the Christian world war”
- “We Muslims cannot accept this whore of a religion”
- “Mary, this is your destiny”
- “Go to hell, Satan burn”
A wooden statue of the Virgin Mary was found with a knife stuck in its throat, and several cabinet doors were broken. Father Gabriel Würz, the priest of the church, reported theft, damage, attempted arson, and blasphemous scenes against Jesus, the Virgin Mary, and the Holy Trinity. Thankfully, the fire did not spread, and the altars and tabernacles remained untouched.
The Scene and Reactions
Father de Mello, one of the vicars, detailed the scene of the attack, explaining that the damage extended from the church entrance to the first floor. The individual acted alone, leaving behind considerable evidence, including a sausage believed to be from the parish association bar, the Verre Saint, as well as fecal matter. DNA samples have been collected for further investigation.”
Despite the vandalism, the parish community remains resilient. Father de Mello emphasized their vigilance without panic, maintaining daily police patrols in the area and close communication with law enforcement. The church, situated in a social housing area, remains open until 8 p.m., serving many modest parishioners who rely on its support and presence.
Christians Face Hostile Environment and Previous Incidents
This incident is part of a broader pattern of anti-Christian acts in France. In 2022, a report by MoDem MP Isabelle Florennes and LREM MP Ludovic Mendes documented 857 anti-Christian acts in 2021, including 752 attacks on Christian places of worship and cemeteries. The actual number is likely higher due to underreporting and the state trying to suppress the number of Islamic attacks on Christians.
The Notre-Dame-du-Travail parish has experienced multiple attempted break-ins, particularly in recent months. The area was significantly affected by the riots of 2023. Father de Mello recounted an incident on Eid Day in June when Muslims attempted to enter the presbytery courtyard during a barbecue, shouting “Allah Akbar” during mass. Additionally, anarchist graffiti from the group “Antifa XIV” was found on the church facade.
Despite these challenges, the parish community remains steadfast. “We’re not shutting ourselves away, we’re not panicking, but we’re very vigilant,” said Father Würz. The church continues to be a welcoming place for all, advocating against responding to evil with evil and violence. A mass of reparation was celebrated on Wednesday evening to restore the sanctity of the church.
The Broader Context: Archbishop Lefebvre’s Prophetic Warnings
The attack on Notre-Dame-du-Travail echoes the prophetic warnings of Archbishop Marcel Lefebvre, who, in the late 1980s, cautioned the French about the potential consequences of Islamization in France. During a press conference on November 14, 1989, Archbishop Lefebvre raised concerns about the growing presence of Muslims in France and their potential impact on French society. His warnings, based on his belief that the two religions could not coexist peacefully, resulted in persecution and legal challenges. Yet, his message now resonates as a stark reality in France today.
Archbishop Lefebvre’s comments were misrepresented at the time as inciting hatred, leading to his conviction for religious defamation. He argued that the Quran’s teachings could lead to discrimination, hatred, and violence, especially as the Muslim population in France grew. His warnings about the potential for conflicts between Christians and Muslims and his call for vigilance were dismissed at the time but now seem prescient in light of recent events.
As France grapples with issues of Islamic immigration, lack of integration, and intolerance of all religions other than Islam, the legacy of Archbishop Lefebvre’s warnings remains relevant. The vandalism of Notre-Dame-du-Travail serves as a grim reminder of the ongoing challenges and dangers of importing Islam into a secular society with Catholic roots.
ALL MUSLIMS MUST OUT FROM CHRISTIAN COUNTRIES! ALL MOSQUES WITHIN CHRISTIAN COUNTRIES MUST BE DEMOLISHED AND BURN ALL QURAN TERRORIST INSTRUCTION BOOKS!
In that order
@The fall of EU!: Agreed. There is no coexisting with the Islamic agents-of- Satan.
There’s no real way to sugar coat this so I’m just going to say it, these animals need to be hunted down and removed from all of Europe or the whole place is doomed.
Islam is not even a religion in the usual sense, but an aggressively expansionist militant utilitarian collectivist ideology under color of religion. It is a universal economic failure everywhere it does not have money coming out of the ground and makes for very unhappy societies when one man can have 4 wives and 3 other men have to go without, and resort to homosexuality which is only superficially forbidden by Islam, and then there is boy play, Baza Bachi, widely practiced in Afghanistan. (see the documentary The Dancing Boys of Afghanistan) Often in Muslim families the youngest boy becomes the sexual outlet for the father and older sons. Imagine how that poor kid grows up. Inbreeding is rampant under Islam with first cousin marriages being the norm, which also does not make for a happy or prosperous society, nor does the fact that Islam makes men it’s slaves by giving them their own slaves, their women. That brings us to female genital mutilation (FGM) which is done to restrict all pleasure in sex to the male, and then there is honor killing, all of the victims of which are curiously female.
You are not going to change them.
Take a lesson, America. Close the freakin’ border.
The Fwench allowed the “vibrant diversity” into the country in full obedience to their Euroweenie masters. You know where “sympathy” is in the dictionary don’t you?
Between sh*t & syphilis.
“Archbishop Lefebvre raised concerns about the growing presence of Muslims in France and their potential impact on French society. His warnings, based on his belief that the two religions could not coexist peacefully, ”
