“Fanatic storms a Spanish wedding shouting ‘Allah is great’ as he ‘tries to assault the priest’ before being kicked out the church by groomsmen,” by Kelly Mclaughlin, Mailonline, June 5, 2017:
A Moroccan man sparked fear during a Spanish wedding over the weekend when he stormed the church and shouted ‘Allah is great’.
The 22-year-old man, who has not been named, was filmed charging at the altar as he disrupted the wedding ceremony at the Church of San Pablo, in Valladolid, on Saturday and tried to throw liturgical objects and attack the priest.
The ceremony was stopped for 20 minutes as police arrested the man, who is now in custody awaiting court.
Video footage from the incident shows groomsmen trying to detain the man as he stood at the front of the church.
A group of several men tumbled down the stairs leading up to the altar as they tried to grab the man. The eventually chased the man into a corner of the church before holding him outside until police arrived.
The young man, who is a student residing in Valladolid, has been ‘accused of disturbing public order, threats and crime against religious feelings’.
He was not armed during the incident, though he has a history of disorderly conduct, a national police source told ABC.
The priest who officiated the wedding in front of about 100 guests said that the incident started when a ‘group of young troublemakers’ started making noise at the back of the church.
Suddenly, there was ‘a person shouting’ and the man charged the altar.
‘A lot of people, including the bride’s mother, were crying, and there were people who had already jumped out of the pews because we did not know whether this person came alone or not, or if he was armed,’ he told Inversion y Finanzas.

The priest said he couldn’t understand what the man was saying as he approached the altar, though other witnesses claimed to hear ‘Allah is great’.
He added that with the recent terror attack in London, he feared the man may have been armed.
Witnesses told the media site that the man appeared to be ‘between 20 and 30 years of age, brown features, a beard’, and ‘apparently had no weapon’.
They said that wedding guests tried to stop the man as he shouted ‘Allah is great’ and tried to assault the priest officiating the ceremony….

Not fanatic. Just another Jihadi imposing sharia law !
Patricia F Koenig says
The article said nothing about the Muslim attacker being jailed!
Malcolm (South Afric) says
How dare they enter our churches.
Our priest are bound to tell the Truth about Islam.
No Catholic even the Pope can define what Islam is within. We can tell them what Christianity is : It is not killing unarmed innocent children woman and men.
The gospels to not encourage rape, murder, slavery.
Islams God is not Christianity’s God. Islam mercy is towards itself not all people.
Priest, religious Bishops, you need to stand up for justice and truth over political correctness.
Wellington says
With respect, Malcolm, the present Pope is not telling the truth about Islam. Indeed, he makes excuse after excuse for it. By contrast, the previous Pope, Benedict XVI, to his great credit did tell the truth about the worst religion of all time. I admire him a lot. Not Francis I though for whom I have no respect. He is a Latin American leftist who doesn’t get capitalism nor the importance of nations securing their borders, and he seems more concerned about carbon emissions than the slaughter of Christians in the Middle East.
Malcolm (South Afric) says
Wellington your perception on Pope Francis on Islam is understandable. Look at my post on Ramadan, where I quote Pope Benedict XVI.
Back to your concern, Catholic Teaching on Islam is clear there are incompatible issues that Catholic have with Islam, we will never accept or recognize mohammad as a prophet. There understanding of Mercy is not the same as ours. Their understanding of Jesus, is the same as Arianism that morphed in Nestorianism, which is a heresy.
Just as secular society is divided into various camps so are we, so it is important for Catholics to hold onto orthodoxy our culture and Traditions.
The attack on Catholics is not only from Islam, the MSM, secularist, it comes from within, so it is important for Catholics to defend and fight for our Church its teaching and the only way for us to do this in our community is through reason, not to be divisive among ourselves.
Wellington says
I fully understand, Malcolm, being the devout Catholic that you are, why you would want to defend your Church. I have a great admiration for Catholicism and the institution of the papacy. I certainly honor Catholicism’s extraordinary artistic and intellectual heritage. In fact, when I was teaching history at the college level I occasionally opined to my students that it is quite arguable that Roman Catholicism has the greatest artistic tradition and excellence of any religion in man’s history. So, though not religious myself, I do respect your Church and will defend it when I think it is unfairly attacked, which I know you know is quite often. Take care, my friend.
Alien Republican says
Wellington – I enjoy and appreciate your enlightening coments.
Malcolm (South Afric) says
Thank you for your kindness Wellington. and I appreciate your writing, knowledge and insights.

Malcolm–with all respect–you have written here previously that anyone who took issue with violent Muslims flooding into Europe is anti-Catholic.
Of course, I have never agreed with this–I don’t believe that there is anything in Catholicism that demands that we welcome in Muslim thugs to rape and murder us.
Malcolm (South Afric) says
With all due respect gravenimage I have never used that terminology.
What I have said. Immigration is a State function it has nothing to do with the Catholic Church. If you have issues with it, approach your government.
If people who are in need, approach us for assistance, we as Catholics are bound to help.
The mercy of the Church extends to all people not the select. If we are criticized for that, one would not necessarily be anti Catholic, just ignorant of our social teaching.
Most people are Immigrants of one sort or another, therefore, how can anyone be against Immigration per say? The Catholic Church can never do that
It is the State who is attentive to the will of its citizens, that should determine the vetting standards that uplifts your country and ensures the safety of its citizens.
It is your countries that are in error, if they fail to do that.
If however one spread untruths about our pontiff, our teaching or Catholics in general then the possibility that one is anti Catholic exist.
As I have said before, I am anti protestant, by that I mean: I am against the Reformation or the revolt of the Catholic, M Luther. I am not against protestants in general as there are many fine people among them.
I am not against muslims in general I am against their open violence of the koran which is never ending, I am against their teaching of hatred, and violence in Islam. I do not believe that it can be reformed. Catholics are not pacifist.
I am open to the possibility that there are good muslims out there. If so it would be the goodness of human nature not islam
What weakens the fight against evil, is the confusion of disinformation in and among ourselves.
From experience: confusion, fear, dismay, is not from God
gravenimage says
Malcolm, you are correct that it is the state, not the church, that sets immigration policy (or refuses to enforce it, as the case may be).
But there is no doubt that the current pontiff is actively encouraging Muslims flooding into Europe–as well as denying that there is any danger from them:
“Pope Francis: ‘Migrations are not a danger. They are a challenge for growth.’”
https://www.jihadwatch.org/2017/02/pope-francis-migrations-are-not-a-danger-they-are-a-challenge-for-growth
“Pope Francis: ‘Muslim terrorism does not exist’”
https://www.jihadwatch.org/2017/02/pope-francis-muslim-terrorism-does-not-exist
I do *not* believe that Catholicism demands this–certainly, most popes have not done this, including the last one, Pope Benedict.
No one is talking about being “anti-immigrant”–just acknowledging that letting in hordes of people who follow an ideology that enjoins them to rape and kill us is unwise.
Malcolm (South Afric) says
As you explained it very well gravenimage I am in full agreement with you.
Pope Francis has his personal opinion and the MSM takes advantage of that, however as Catholics we can disagree with him on certain issues which do not pertain to matters of faith and we do to the highest levels. This is not dissent it is healthy criticism with reasoning.

StacyGirl says
We can defend the Faith without defending the Pope. The church is eternal, and Francis is little more than an end of times prophecy.
gravenimage says
Deeply disturbing, Malcolm–I had not seen that story yet–thanks for the link.
The worst thing is that I very much doubt that these Muslim thugs would stop at destroying pictures and statues.
Malcolm (South Afric) says
Correction :do not encourage…..
Malcolm (South Afric) says
Again: not even the Pope
blitz2b says
Malcolm says “…Priest, religious Bishops, you need to stand up for justice and truth over political correctness…”
Malcolm, as long as we have the Islam sympathizing traitor in the Vatican, cowardice among Catholic clergy will reign supreme.
Of course Islam and it’s lies need to be exposed, but why does the Catholic church not at least inform and educate it’s congregants about Islam and the danger it poses to the faith.
There are many Catholics that I know who mouth off the same rubbish that the Pope does in Islam’s defense… ” Islam is a religion of peace”, ” Muslims are persecuted everywhere” etc…
How can you expect anything different…Catholics were never encouraged to read the Bible, let alone investigating the atrocious hate towards unbelievers found in the Koran…
Malcolm (South Afric) says
I read the bible my wife reads the bible my children read the bible. Every time I go to mass there is a new N\T and O\T reading and responsorial psalm. Where do you get : “Catholics were never encouraged to read the Bible, let alone investigating the atrocious hate towards unbelievers found in the Koran…”
There are a number of camps in the Catholic Church one that wants to appease and one that sees reality.

Every year,by far the largest group of foreigners being granted Spanish citizenship are Moroccans.
Between 35 to 50 thousand Moroccans are given the right to permanent residency. Then the importation of tens of thousands of ” dependants” follow, including old uncle Abdul and his four wives.
A few years down the road,all these ” dependants” get Spanish citizenship and start importing all their ” dependents” and so the cycle continues.
In years past, this was called by another name—-INVASION.
Richie says
imagine the international outcry had this been a Christian or a Jew attacking a Muslim wedding
Ali Bey says
Catalonia has encouraged the import of many Morocans thinking that they will vote for the independence…

What foolishness. You find similar idiocy with some in Quebec.

Ramadan video from Spain: Muslim screaming “Allahu akbar” storms wedding, tries to assault priest
………………………
I’m glad the groomsmen didn’t put up with this crap.
You know who else married in Valladolid? Isabel of Castile and Ferdinand of Aragon, in 1469. They went on to unite Spain and finally take back Spain from the Muslim invaders.

Very interesting

Yes. That’s the bit that stood out to me, too.
“Video footage from the incident shows groomsmen trying to detain the man as he stood at the front of the church.
“**A group of several men tumbled down the stairs leading up to the altar as they tried to grab the man. The eventually chased the man into a corner of the church before holding him outside until police arrived.** ” (my emphasis – dda).
Viva Espana!
Good on those groomsmen!
Tangata says
Come to the point anybody shooting “Allahuakbar” in the streets must be treated as a real threat to life and treated accordingly. Sad for the Muslims who don’t believe in the Jihad but that’s what is come to.
gravenimage says
How many Muslims don’t believe in Jihad? That means rejecting the model of the “Prophet”, something no orthodox Muslim would do.
abad says
Maybe churches could start laying strips of bacon on the door threshold, thereby preventing Muslims from entering.
Just an idea.
Phil says
This will be a future truck renter that runs over hundreds of infidels while being under the surveillance of Europe’s Finest. Like all the others were too.
Arthur says
Take note of the groomsman who has the “student” by the foot. He drags him toward the stairs, then reaches around the thigh and spins to throw the attacker down the stairs while keeping on his own feet. This may not look like much, but under the circumstances, I would guess that this groomsman has had martial arts training (or was a wrestler) and he put it to effective use.

If this were 2 go down at my wedding this clown pos would have woken up in a ditch a few days later if at all .
Makenomistake says
The political leaders of the advanced ‘white ‘ nations seem to have been sold to the Arabs , with some microscopic exceptions. The lure of the Petro money was too great for them to forget the history that their fathers and forefathers left for them as a priceless legacy that no Arab can ever expect to ‘ buy ‘. But these leaders are self taught and were astute enough to have seen the link between political power and money, and hence spared nothing to fool their own peoples and put them unarmed before the islamic wolves.
Now no respite from further islamic onslaught . Signs have started appearing……..in France ,England ,Germany , the USA .
It is now the peoples who are to fend for themselves , against there own governments , the so called Main Stream Media, and the home grown cancer- the Left progressives !! Of course, if it is not already late.
