Rome - A Muslim group has asked to use the empty churches in France for Muslims to pray in, solving (at the expense of Christians) the traffic problems caused by Muslims who pray in the streets. Fr. Khalial Samir Samir, an expert scholar of Islam, reflects on the embarrassing proposal, calling for Islam in Europe to become more "European" and less "Arab".
In a press release published Friday, March 11, 2011, the "Banlieuses Respect " Collective asked authorities in charge of organization of the Church of France, to place at Muslims’ disposal "empty churches for Friday prayers". Hassan M. Ben Barek, a spokesman for the Collective, said the measure would "prevent Muslims from having to pray on the streets" and being "politicians’ hostages”.
In fact, for several years now, every Friday, alongside dozens of mosques in France, Muslims have blocked the surrounding streets for an hour or two, spreading mats on the roads to pray. In many cases, local authorities close their eyes to this offense, and in some cases the police are there to ensure the safety of those who block the streets. This situation is on the rise in France (for example, Lyon, Marseille, Montpellier. Montreuil, Nice, Paris, Puteaux, Strasbourg, Torcy ...). A situation that is found all over the world (Athens, Brussels, Birmingham, Cordova, Moscow, New York ...) and also in Italy (Albenga, Canicattì, Como, Gallarate, Milan, Modena, Moncalieri, Naples, Rome ...). In the Muslim world this phenomenon is present, especially in Egypt. On 10 December, in Lyon, Marine Le Pen (National Front) denounced the Muslims "street prayers", which led to negative reactions towards the Muslim community in France.

Istanbulization of Constantinople all over again.
If not Christianity, then Islam... liberals wish for there to be no God, they should also wish for there to be no devil. When God is removed from the public square, a thousand devils wait to rush in, whether you want them or not. It doesn’t matter what YOU believe, the beliefs of millions of others will wither protect you or cut off your head... Savvy?
European Islam...beheading by guillotine instead of knife
or sword.

If they are praying in the streets, run them over. Solves more than one problem.
bttt
Even if they did give them all the empty churches they will still be praying in the street. It’s a show of force.
You Americans should better start planning for a future without Europe. Many of the assumptions you held in the past (e.g. that America and Europe share common values) will be turned around within the next few generations.
In any case, I don’t think Islam can take over Europe I am more worried about secularisation.
Yep. Islamic imperialism.
True.
Have you been to Europe lately? The Euros don’t use their churches anyway—they spend time worshipping themselves. It makes me sick to see it and to think about it.
Yes, was there a few months ago. Christianity is dying.
Amen.
The Caliphate is going to find Europe eager and willing to be dhimmified
It seems so.
