Muslims roll out prayer mats in streets in massive protest in Paris suburb

Apr 1, 2017 2:37 pm By Christine Douglass-Williams

Hemmed in and closely watched by police, hundreds of Muslims have unrolled rugs and mats and prayed outdoors in the busy streets of a Paris suburb to protest the closure of their prayer hall.

Clichy City Hall has every right to turn “the rented prayer hall the worshippers were using into a multimedia library for the town’s 60,000 residents.”

This scene of revolt and Islamic dominance has far exceeded the realm of religious accommodation; the “praying” Muslims should be disbanded by the “watchful police” and charged with public mischief and breach of the peace. The busy streets of a Paris suburb should not be subjected to this inconvenience and supremacist display which essentially transformed the area into a temporary “no-go zone.”

In October 2015, American Thinker reported a similar incident in LA:

a street was clogged and rendered impassible because a horde of Muslims decided to roll out a huge prayer rug, set up speakers to broadcast the Arabic drone, toss off their shoes, and block the street in order to pray. Of course prayer was just part of the agenda. The other part was to assert supremacy.

“Muslims Protest with Street Prayer in Paris Suburb”, Associated Press, March 31, 2017:

PARIS (AP) — Hemmed in and closely watched by police, hundreds of Muslims have unrolled rugs and mats and prayed outdoors in the busy streets of a Paris suburb to protest the closure of their prayer hall.

The show of strength Friday by throngs of worshippers in Clichy highlights a long-standing issue for France’s Muslim community, estimated at 5 million people: a shortage of mosques.

Clichy City Hall wants to turn the rented prayer hall the worshippers were using into a multimedia library for the town’s 60,000 residents.

It says Muslims can worship at a new Islamic cultural and prayer center, already used by hundreds of people, the town inaugurated last year….

    will the French stand strong? That’s really the only question that matters at this moment. my god, take a stand for once, France! or lay down and give up your country now, and submit to Sharia law. We’ll have to deal with them here in America.

    time for water cannons to clean the streets- such show of “piety ‘ is for people only and does not impress God- it is only to impress other muslims and intimidate those unbelievers of allah/Satan

      You stole my comment. Water cannon is a perfect remedy for this. I lived in Chile and every time there is some illegal manifestation, out come the Police with their water cannon and tear gas and they quickly disperse them. If they don’t do it, then the muzzies will begin taking over streets at every turn. It is not “prayer”. It is a political act.

    I would get a huge tractor with the scoop in the front like we have for snow removal, and drive slowly right through that bunch that are littering the streets and blocking traffic, and scoop them up and then drive and dump them in a field somewhere, and then repeat til they were all gone. Supremacy?? We’d see who was supreme after that!!!

      Where are the bolshie French farmers when you really need them?

      Just needs a load of pigs to be driven down the street towards them. That’ll soon clear the streets.

      Either that, or a tanker full of pig shit and an extra large nozzle…

    Women should have walked in front of them. This invalidates the prayers.

        In my adventures as a dog walker there were Fridays when men would clog the sidewalk around the corner mosque, making the already crowded sidewalk even more difficult to negotiate. (Why kneeling on a dirty street corner could in any way be considered a preferred way to address a deity!) I’d slow down my well behaved pack and linger past the sanctimonious who would then be at eye level with a bunch of curious dogs. It was obvious the men were afraid and they’d look up to see me, a woman walking them. Truth be told I did consider breaking wind for the trifecta of prayer invalidating items but all my energies were on keeping 5 dogs moving.

    Did they apply for permission to use the street? If ‘yes’, did the authorities agree? If ‘yes’, the stupid authorities ask for all they get. If ‘no’ to any of the above, you just let the traffic carry on through and any broken bones are the muslims’ own fault. As for setting up the speakers for the caterwauling, that should be an offence. So let them start making their racket, confiscate the equipment and arrest the organisers/users in a Public Order offence. And if that sparks the usual righeous reaction, nick the lot of them.

    • jayell says

      Apr 1, 2017 at 3:23 pm

      NB- I like Lynne Martin’s idea about the huge snow/debris-clearance tractor, but it’s all trouble and expense. Let the normal traffic do the job, perhaps divert some of the heavy stuff into that street, then it’s the muslims legal duty to get out of the way since they’re causing.an obstruction or they’re liable for the consequences to themselves. Why should anyone else pay a penny because of these idiots?

    First the bullhorn announcement to disperse. Then the threat to forcibly remove. When the bullies go nuts(as they surely will), the tear gas, rubber bullets, water cannons and arrest of leaders. When the bullies continue to resist, open warfare and the retaking of Paris by the French military. Then the total legal ban of islam in France and the razing of mosques. Then the mass deportations and securement of France’s borders. Then the repetition of this cycle all over Europe, Canada, the USA, Australia, New Zealand, etc. etc. etc.

    But, perhaps I merely indulge in fantasies.

    I was born in Clichy in 1988. When I asked my parents why we moved to London, they explained that the area was becoming rundown, dangerous, and that a 7 year old girl was raped in her school (which my sister went to), and nobody even got expelled. 20 years later, I now understand why we left.

    This makes me also think about the use of prayer mats. They apparently are clean or halal in some way because the praying person does not make contact with the ground. However when they are rolled up, all the dirt on the bottom is then transferred to the surface. When they do these protests on city streets then the molecules of car exhaust dust, motor oil, expectorate, booze vomit, dog poop etc are deposited onto the “clean” side of the rug. In some of these photos you can see that large tarps of some kind are put down beforehand, proving this is a very planned theatrical show of supremacism. Perhaps the general ban of putting down of these tarps on city streets would help to stop these protests without authorities getting ensnared in an accusation of being against freedom of religious expression etc.

    How can something like this be possible…the end of all reasoning.
    And we let them, Mecca being nothing but a rock in the desert, worthless, empty
    of any meaning, other then what the islam. ideology makes it to be and Mohammed had kissed it
    All those people, who pray in mass congregation in the streets anywhere, should be send back
    into the desert, where there is plenty of space..

  25. UNCLE VLADDI says

    You mean “Hemmed in and closely watched by UTTERLY CLUELESS police,” because even Muhammad knew that blocking streets by praying was an act of WAR.

    Blocking roads is an ACT OF WAR, and ALL the moslems know of this historical tactic:

    Re: Sura 5:33 (The Punishment of those Who Cause Mischief in the Land):

    Allah said next, …

    “The recompense of those who wage war* against Allah and His Messenger and do mischief in the land is only that they shall be killed or crucified or their hands and their feet be cut off on the opposite sides, or be exiled from the land.”

    Sura 5:33 doesn’t demand equal retribution or even merely “defensive” warfare, since the word corruption (fasad) can refer to someone who speaks out against Muhammad and/or Islam.

    This means that the above-prescribed punishments will be inflicted on a person even if the individual hasn’t caused any physical injury to anyone, as the explanatory hadiths which append the Qur’an, and supplemental tafsir notes explain:

    *” ‘Wage war’ mentioned here means, OPPOSE AND CONTRADICT, and it includes DISBELIEF, **blocking roads** and spreading fear in the fairways. Mischief in the land refers to various types of evil.” (Tafsir Ibn Kathir, Volume 3, p. 161)

    i.e: Those who even only verbally resist the islamic exotortion racket’s claims, by declaring that Muhammad was wrong, *must* be murdered for their “slanderous blasphemy” by the Muslims!

    Leftist multiculturalism means destruction of the pre-existing culture. When enough of THEM from THERE come HERE, then HERE becomes THERE. That’s how a country is conquered.
    Whenever I see reports of how Paris has been destroyed thanks to the ideology of the Globalist Leftists, i’m reminded of this song published in 1953 and sung by Frank Sinatra 1960:
