Well, that’s one way to conduct “interfaith dialogue.” “Report of planned attack on Bremen cathedral, synagogue,” Catholic World News, March 12, 2015:
A potential Islamist attack on the cathedral and synagogue in Bremen, Germany, was averted following action by police on February 28, a Belgian newspaper reported.
Numerous police guarded the cathedral and synagogue and searched a local Muslim cultural center, according to the report.

What will be the authorities’ reaction? The perps were a bunch of villains and not so easily tamable thugs, but Islam has got nothing to do with it, as Islam is always innocent and peaceful and its adherents are the nicest people you can think off. Heard that on telly yesterday. Yuck!
Jay Boo says
Islam is a protection racket.
It is not just about actual attacks but intimidation of potential attacks.
I am not advocating violence but, Muslims respect force and exploit weakness in others eagerly with shameless contempt. If every attack were to be followed by a swift response, all of the so-called moderate Muslim enablers who secretly collaborate either directly or indirectly would tow the line out of enlightened self-interest knowing full well that they can no longer get away with the claim “Not my problem”.
Jay Boo says
Note: My point was not meant to suggest that an immediate counter attack is the solution but that in order to defeat the enemy one should take away its usual hiding places and lay bare its game plan so it knows in advance that the snake of Islam will not be able to continue to talk with a forked tongue.

The self-preservation mechanism dictates that one should avoid being on the receiving end of forceful actions. It is true, for normal people, that the cognitive process of human beings enables individuals to adjust to their environment (social, physical, etc). In this regard, it is unfortunate that western societies have grown exceptionally tolerant (perhaps suicidally) towards violence, particularly with respect to their responses (societal, judicial) to violent acts and aggression. So much so that a certain religion, purported to be peaceful and through many of its followers, has gained the means to inflict atrociously violent acts on western societies (from within and without) with impunity. Western societies are slowly being conditioned/taught to accept such violence only from one religion and one religion only. The day may come when western societies collapse under their own weight of tolerance towards this religion and its ideology. The irony then would be that countries like Russia and China may be the few places on Earth where this intolerant religion of supposed peace is unable to gain any traction with its violence.

Another day another jihad attack on non-Islamic place of worship. Yawn
Lia Wissing says
These islamists must have been both ‘devout’ & ‘pious’ – those are the first two degrees of comparison. The third might be ‘rabid’.

I wonder if the enlightened west has enlightened itself into stupidity.
Send these people back to the desert to herd their camels

“Numerous police guarded the cathedral and synagogue and searched a local Muslim cultural center, according to the report.”….So how much money do ‘numerous police cost? It seems like the having the privilege of the company of all these muslims in Europe now is becoming a tad expensive. Why should the average man in the street pay this luxury when he didn’t even ask for it. Time to impose a western form Jizya on mosques. At least in this case there’s an economic justification for it.
Judi says
Agree Jayell – here in the UK, the police spend a good deal of their resources and budget trying to thwart muslim terrorist plots.

That is the Muslim way to say thanks for turning out the lights when Pegida is walking. You have turned out the lights, German churches, you really have !
Jerry says
Islam is and has been for fourteen centuries a true religion of piece.
That’s why everywhere where Islamists reach or wander everything
including people is turned into so many pieces.
Looks like the idol Allah they worship must be a true blood thirsty
cannibalistic fake deity, or simply, Muhammad the warlord turned
fake prophet is a cannibalistic minister.
