Exposing the role that Islamic jihad theology and ideology play in the modern global conflicts

Muslims hack over 100 Catholic websites

Jun 3, 2016 2:38 pm By Robert Spencer

“The publication La Croix reported that in April, more than 100 websites of churches and congregations were hacked by suspected Tunisian cyber-jihadists who call themselves the Fallaga Team.” This happens as “Catholics in France and Belgium – countries still recovering from brutal ISIS attacks – have been hit with numerous acts of violence and aggression, including fires set in churches, an assault on a priest, the desecration of a tabernacle…” Are France and Belgium beset by a wave of violent Huguenots? Or is there another group of some kind in France and Belgium that has a violent hatred for the Catholic Church?

The kiss didn't help
The kiss didn’t help

“A new wave of attacks against Catholics in France, Belgium,” Catholic News Agency, June 2, 2016 (thanks to EQ):

Paris, France, Jun 2, 2016 / 12:43 pm (CNA/EWTN News).- In recent weeks, Catholics in France and Belgium – countries still recovering from brutal ISIS attacks – have been hit with numerous acts of violence and aggression, including fires set in churches, an assault on a priest, the desecration of a tabernacle and the hacking of more than 100 Catholic websites.

In the French periodical La Provence, local priest Father Benoît Delabre reported that two weeks ago, the altar at the Church of St. Madeleine-de-l’Île was set fire in Martigues, about 800 kilometers south of Paris.

“The altar…is marble, which prevented the fire from spreading. I can’t imagine what would have happened with a wooden altar. The consequences for our church would have been tragic.”

He also said that on May 15, another unknown person desecrated the tabernacle which contained the consecrated hosts in the church at Jonquières in the same region. Additionally, Father Delabre himself was attacked last Sunday by a man he caught at the church door who appeared to be “trying to steal something.”

“We know just how serious these attacks are on signs and persons because of their faith…The Catholic faith, its symbols and those that profess it, deserve to be respected just like every kind of religious expression that does not disturb the public order,” he said.

Gaby Charroux, the mayor of Martigues, said in a statement that “thefts of every kind in churches in France are more and more frequent” and promised the police will curb the attacks.

The publication La Croix reported that in April, more than 100 websites of churches and congregations were hacked by suspected Tunisian cyber-jihadists who call themselves the Fallaga Team.

In Belgium, on the afternoon of May 24, two fires considerably damaged the church in Mont-Sainte-Geneviève which dates from the 16th century. The first one began in the sacristy. The fire fighters had barely left the scene after managing to control that fire when another much bigger fire in the church roof was reported….

      Why don’t they say Muslims criminals were the perpetrators. Where are the ones that condone the Muslim invasion? Why don’t they realize Muslims specially from Africa are not civilizice. They are little more than animals, ferocious animals.

    Gosh, you would think that some muslims hated Christians / sarc

    Of course they do, since the unholy quran is replete with such wrongheaded teachings …

    Under the photo of despicableness, “The kiss didn’t help”

    Sure it did. It helped moslims see they could *have it all* if only they keep up with the violence, threats and hatred. They see they can have it all if only they send in enough of their hordes who thirst for the blood of everyone in the name of satan and the demon’s beast, islam.

      Just goes to show what a lot of nasty criminal sh*ts muslims are, following the example of the nasty criminal sh*t who founded the ‘faith’ (sic) in the first place. In common with most of humanity, they project their disgusting, malicious little twisted psyches onto all they meet, and consequently do not even begin to understand the concept of self-effacing magnanimous generosity and univerasl respect as demonstrated by the Pope here. Instead, it’s just a symbol of abject surrender (a sign of weakness) and a cue for them to be their normal repulsive selves, take advantage, and kick a*ses. By the way, as I think I commented some time back, this business of desecrating churches is just par for the course wherever in the world you get muslims arriving. Respect for the locals and anyone apart from ‘themselves’ is just NOT on the islamic agenda, as we should all know from their documented behaviour, public utterances and (of course) their despicable ‘holy writ’.The church just up the road from me in east London is on the perimeter of a very large open area that was used for anti-aircraft gun emplacements and barrage balloons in WW2, and also near a main railway route out of London, and therefore in the line of fire for Nazi bombers. Yet it never suffered a so much as a scrap of damage between 1939-45, or even 1914-18 when there were Zeppelin incursions. However, within a year or so of muslims (on ‘special allowances, no doubt) moving into the council housing estate round the corner, bricks suddenly started flying through the expensive windows. So, who is the ‘enemy’ then?

    Terrible slamophobia and numbers or islamophobics in Europe. Only some 11,000 mosques and 45 million muslims growing each year.

    It’s typical of Muslims to try to hack into anything they dislike – both physically and technically (online) – and that definitely includes other religions.

    And see, this is the difference between them and us. They kill and terrorize, but all the focus is on our “hate speech” online, which 99% of the time is simply us talking the ugly truth about islam. And even if there is hate speech, who cares. Islam is worthy of the hatred, it should be protected speech anyway. Islam is the one inciting violence, they are the ones with the demonic god that commands the murder and persecution of the infidel. But like children granted more authority than they are able to handle, our leaders think they can heal the issue by placing all the blame on us who speak against it. These traitors lack foresight, moral courage, and true leadership ability. And I believe that’s why so many are attracted to Wilders, and Spencer, Geller, and Trump, and other candid speakers about islam, because people are sick of the bald faced lies and excuses for Nazislam and the muslims that breathe life into its hateful and violent ideas.

    Those ugly mosques with the star and moon on top are filthifying our nation. The teachings within threaten our future peace and prosperity. If Trump gets in I’d like to get a movement going, no more mosques and new anti-sharia legislation. Challenging, but not beyond the realm of possibility.

      That is because Islam is a religion of Destruction.

      And with Ramadan here that destruction – whether of human life or inanimate life – is simply going to escalate.

      No other religion in the world has its believers taking part is escalated violence during their holy days.

      None.

      Only Islam does.

    “The Catholic faith, its symbols and those that profess it, deserve to be respected just like every kind of religious expression that does not disturb the public order” . . .

    Interestingly, that automatically leaves out Islam … which by its very nature disturbs the public order …

    • Nigel GFF says

      Jun 3, 2016 at 5:46 pm

      Yeah, that “public order” tag on.

      I was going going to say, ‘Gosh, what an interesting sentence’.

      Well done C., you nailed it.

    • abad says

      Jun 5, 2016 at 12:39 pm

      Exactly.

      Islam is anti-social in its scriptures, “laws”, and behaviour of its believers.

      Probably not wrong at all to call Islam the Religion of Anti-Social Behaviour.

  12. John Marst says

    Jun 3, 2016 at 6:04 pm

    So when exactly should we expect Pope Dhimmi the First to condemn the violence and intolerance inherent in the Islamic supremacist doctrine? When jihadists detonate themselves inside the Sistine Chapel perhaps.

    This is the photo muslims love. it’s shows the total abdication of the christianity to islam. as written in the quran, muslims believe that their god allah, has pulled wool over the eyes of the non muslims and is forcing them to do his will in opening christian lands to islam and kowtowing to muslims. what finer example of this than the pope washing and kissing the feet of these muslims, this to them, proves islam is superior to christianity when the highest christian leader does this.

  14. Richard Paulsen says

    Jun 3, 2016 at 7:31 pm

    Will we ever experience the most prominent muslim cleric in the world kissing the foot of american and european non musim women and men?
    That will be the day.

    I have the sad feeling that Pope Francis will not change his Pollyanna attitude to Islam until a number of his personal friends are murdered by Muslims at the Vatican.

    Only then will he be shaken out of his naivety…and perhaps not even then.

    The pope steadfastly refuses to read the Islamic source texts that contain the commandments to make warfare against the disbelievers.

    The Catholic faith, its symbols and those that profess it, deserve to be respected just like every kind of religious expression that does not disturb the public order

    By those standards, islam does not deserve to be respected – muslims praying in the streets and blocking traffic, call to prayer blasting at ungodly hours, etc.

    Islam and Catholicism are fingers on the same hand…. Muscat…Muslim Catholic…they both hate Jews, they both refuse to recognize the LAND belongs to the Jews, not them or anyone else and they both worship idols..one of them a dead woman who had multiple children and died and was buried and was conceived and born in corruption just like everyone else born of a woman except for ONE MAN …..and the other one worship the lord of the flies, death.
