According to Abdel Fattah Zarawi, the Muslim leader of the Salafi party, also known as the Free Front of Algeria, any and all Christian churches remaining in the north African nation must be closed and reopened as mosques.
Although the closure, destruction, or transformation of Christian churches into mosques is nearly as old as Islam itself — Algeria was Christian-majority when Islam invaded and conquered it in the seventh century — the Salafi leader tried to portray his proposal as a “reaction,” or “grievance” against rising anti-Muslim sentiment in Europe, especially France.
Launched on social media and networks, the Salafi campaign against Algerian churches even calls for the transformation of the nation’s most important churches into mosques — including the Church of Notre Dame d’Afrique in Algiers, the Church of St. Augustine in Annaba, and the Church of Santa Cruz in Oran — since “they have no relation whatsoever to the religion of Algerian Muslims.”

Well, that will make the leftists happy, at least.
Richie says
Even if all the Christians are killedf and churches are converted into mosques, odds are Muslims and the left wouldf still paint Muslims as the victims
Marco says
Stupid left after you assist them in the destruction of Christianity and the genocide of all Christians its your atheist infidel a$$s they will come after full forward. Will you die blaming yourselves for in some way having offended the darling Muslims?
P0rkCh0ps says
They would be unhappy that there were not enough Christian churches to turn into mosques. This would understandably enrage them and would justify the killing of Christians that let them down in this respect.

Known for walking around with his trademark prayer beads and a stick, Yahya Jammeh is reputed to be one of the world’s most eccentric and ruthless leaders.
Born in May 1965, he came to power in 1994 as a 29-year-old army lieutenant. Now, he is a portly president who portrays himself as a devout Muslim with miraculous powers, such as the power to cure people of Aids and infertility. He also believes that homosexuality threatens human existence.

Yahya Jammeh is also known for taking over successful businesses in Gambia. As soon as someone’s business becomes successful he advises the business owner to leave the country. He takes over the business and runs it into the ground. That is why Gambia is such a basket case.

Westman says
Is this racism as well?
Jammeh said about gays:
“..no one will ever set eyes on you again, and no white person can do anything about it.”
It’s amazing how well the attitude of despots and Islam blend; it’s as if Islam was created by a Warlord.
Gufo says
It is only racist if non-muslims say it
Angemon says
They do, however, have to do with the religion of Algerian Christians. And with the history of Algeria itself.
Ricky Black says
Galatians 4;22-31 Abraham had two sons, one by a bondwoman, the other by a freewoman. Ishmael was born of the flesh, Isaac was born of promise from God. 4;29 But as then he that was born after the flesh persecuted him that was born after the Spirit, even so it is now.
abad says
Evil, evil, evil. Nobody wants Muslims in their nation except maybe the Middle East – they are a threat to civilized society and the human race.

Noticed that have You ? Well our Government hasn’t !!
Peggy says
For every church they turn into a mosque we must turn a mosque into a church here. We’ll need a lot of exorcists but we’ll manage.
Norman says
Turn all Mosques into piles of ash.
Jerry says
Paying homage to the bloodthirsty Muslims convert every mosque into a piggery with on-site pig abattoir, pork product processing factory, pork delicatessen outlet and a mini brewery and at least some good may come out of it!
Cindy says
I think every mosque should be turned into a church!!!!!!! A Bible believing church. And it will grow like a wild fire. Especially in the midst of all the trouble!!!! GOD does His best work through weak humans HIS power shines so bright. Praise Jesus Christ my Redeemer!!!!!! He has the power to change the hearts of men!!!!!!!
Luke says
They’re building a new mosque a few miles from here. I wonder how I would be viewed if I protested outside and said it should be stopped? Whilst the west withers into anything goes multiculturalism and multireligionism it seems the Muslim world marches into exclusivity and intolerance.

Doesn’t this just encapsulate the whole islamic world view ? *Anything* that has no relation to islam must go. And since islam has produced nothing but ugly mosques, bloodshed, murder and tyranny, that is what we will be left with, if we keep carrying on kowtowing to them.
GFWSR says
A better idea; turn all mosques to ashes!
Thomas Lewis says
Islam is worse than Communism and National Socialism the entire religion needs to be destroyed, it neither provides for the poor nor innocent and only destroys what God has given the world.
