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

Muslims and Leftists cheer fire at Nantes cathedral in France

Jul 20, 2020 4:00 pm By Robert Spencer

A shared love for the destruction of the West and the Judeo-Christian tradition.

“Again: Muslims and leftists cheer over cathedral fire in Nantes,” JournalistenWatch, July 19, 2020 (thanks to Medforth):

After yesterday’s cathedral fire in Nantes, there was a nuisance that has been repeated in the comment columns of social media formats, especially Facebook, at least since the Charlie Hebdo murders: Muslim, mostly Arab-born users and their leftist fanboys in Central Europe express their enthusiasm and malicious joy online.

Even on the Facebook pages of the public service news formats, the sympathizers of Islamization celebrated their satisfaction bluntly last night – and by means of smiley emojis or “like” clicks, they express what they think of burning Christian churches, the breakdown of the European “dominant culture”:

In addition to Facebook, Twitter and YouTube are also popular “playgrounds” for this type of expression of opinion, which typically does not lead to the deletion and blocking of the users concerned by the social media teams of the public broadcaster ZDF (whereas masses of comments are deleted as “hate speech”, which suspect a not too distant connection between the recent fire and Islamization.

In principle, the clear statements by “new citizens” from the oriental cultural area anticipate what the investigations still have to reveal in this case: whether it is actually arson (it looks as if it is and the public prosecutor’s office also thinks so in Nantes, as fire had broken out at three points in the cathedral), and then, of course, whether Muslims were really at work here – as unfortunately, all too often in the past.

The use of similarly cynical emoticons has been known on other occasions so far: for example, reports on Palestinian attacks on Israel, Israeli settlers or IDF soldiers killed, ISIS acts of terrorism, or Kurds killed by jihadists or Turkish soldiers. Here too, Muslims and/or Turkish nationalists showed their ugly faces of contempt for human beings – through likes and cheering smileys. (DM)

    Muslims and Leftists cheer fire at Nantes cathedral in France
    ………………..

    Just appalling.

    And this fire is strongly suspected of being deliberate–so it may well be not just sickening Shadenfreud on the part of Muslims, but actual Jihad.

      It makes me think it all the more likely that it was arson at Notre Dame also.

      • gravenimage says

        Jul 20, 2020 at 4:44 pm

        Possible–but Nantes has been identified as likely deliberate; Notre Dame has not. We may never know for sure.

          Greetings, gravenimage:

          A week or so ago, I saw an interview, again on France24 Anglais, in which the interviewer was questioning an archetecture expert about the Notre Dame de Paris repairs. He veered a bit off her course to say that there were still areas he was not allow to assess because les gendarmes were still conducting their investigations.

          Thanks for the “Chiron” spelling.

          If the current French government has anything to do with it, you never will know the truth about the fires at Notre Dame and Nantes.

          In both cases the perpetrators will not be found. They DON’T WANT to find them, if they are likely to be Moslem. (But don’t tell anyone this !)

        France has already convicted and sentenced 2 jihadists for a failed plot to car bomb Notre Dame de Paris (NDP). Were those the only two, or were they only one cell in a larger plot? In another French church attack, 2 jihadists murdered a priest; one of the jihadists had previously worked as an airport porter and had just passed all background checks to become a baggage handler (a position that might have enabled him to load explosives onto commercial airliners).

        The fire that destroyed NDP remains under investigation, and TPTB in France want to conceal the faults of Muslims wherever possible, so I agree with @gravenimage that we may never know what caused that particular fire.

        We do know, however, that abundant evidence shows France has imported no shortage of Muslims who want to replace French culture and history with Islam. With a birth rate 2x higher than non-Muslims, demographics show that time is on their side; France will probably become a Muslim majority country less than a century from now. One way or another, the next “Republique Française” will probably be an Islamic “republic” similar to Pakistan, and all the cathedrals will fall or become mosques like Hagia Sophia.

        Notre Dame was arson for sure. The fire started at three different places at the same time. Construction work did not even start. And the fire broke out, minutes after the guard left.
        There was NOTHING causing fire in these places at all! And for sure, nothing nothing to start three fires at exact the same time.

      There will be more attempts to burn churches and synagogues this summer … Islam is NOT tolerant towards those two groups, because the Koran mentions them often with condemnation.

      The French are finally realizing that Islam is now aiming to destroy everything that is recognizably French. The vinyards are no doubt in future jihad-terrorist plans as well.

      The French are finally trying to de-Islamize Muslims, but it will be too little too late.

      The French government should mobilize its many intellectuals to analyze and ideologically demolish Islam. It’s the only way to be victorious.

      Once Muslims see that the Koran is of human origin, they leave Islam instantly.

      • CogitoErgoSum says

        Oh no, not the vineyards.

        “Once Muslims see that the Koran is of human origin, they leave Islam instantly.”

        Only if they are open to accepting that it is of human origin. Man’s ability to cope with disproofs of his favoured beliefs is infinite – the disproofs can always be ignored or explained away. Always.

        Lies arw true ifor those whi think they are true. Reality is irrelevant. `Nothing can prove to some people that Mahometism is malign. People want to believe it is a religion of prace – so in their minds, it is.

    Greetings:

    This morning’s France24 English-language broadcast had a chyron (?) at the bottom of the screen announcing that the man who had been taken into police custody had been released.

    • gravenimage says

      Thanks for that update–I hope they find the actual perp.

      And the word for the icon or sign is “chiron”.

    Those that rejoice over the fire at Nantes would be outraged if it were a Mosque that were burning! They are such hypocrits!

      Jul 20, 2020 at 7:29 pm

      Don’t they notice that there is never retaliation? Of course they do — it encourages them because they figure the kafirs won’t dare retaliate in kind.

      Someday they may go so far that they’ll find they were wrong. Or not, in which case the West is finished.

    • JamesC. says

      Jul 21, 2020 at 7:01 am

      Where is the hypocrisy ? From a Muzz POV, Christianity, with its Crucified God, is an insult to allah. allah hates paganism & shirk, & the religion of allah alone must prevail. Therefore, the destruction of Christian churches is a duty, and the news of it is a cause for Muslim joy & for further efforts to impose the one true religion – Islam, the religion revealed by Allah the Exalted in his Glorious Koran to his Prophet and Apostle.

      As for Christianity, it is easy to hate it – one need not be a Mahometist, a secularist or a Lefty to do so. Granted, there is some good in its record, but an awful lot that judged by its own standards is evil. It remains to be explained how “Love your enemies” can be reconciled with massacring Jews or burning heretics alive or enslaving defeated Amerindians.

      • gravenimage says

        Jul 21, 2020 at 9:19 pm

        James, Christianity does not teach murdering Jews or “heretics”, nor does it teach slavery.

        It was, in fact, mostly devout Christians who led to the abolition of slavery.

    And when the jihadi cretins finally turn their violence on the left, there will be no one left to give a damn. Islam will not share power.

    I don’t use social media to avoid to see such kind of bigoted islamist-leftist terrorists. These people can not be humans. When I see this kind of disrespect and hateful comments or emotes like laughing for a burning of a cathedral, I get angry, it affects my health and things get difficult for me. So Twitter,Facebook and YouTube are bigoted places which are full of hate-filled, enemy of the freedom, leftist-islamic scum.

      Iblis,

      Most interested to see your comment. Your remark about how things upset you and make you unwe!l is striking.

      I’m assuming you are probably a Highly Sensitive Person (HSP, 20% of the population.).

      It is a known fact that horrendous events like the deliberate burning of a Cathedral affect Highly Sensitive people profoundly and can even make them ill.

      These events are hard to handle for ordinarily sensitive people, but for an HSP, with their well developed capacity for feeling, such a tragedy can be actually prostrating.
      Best regards.

    It was definitely arson of Paris Notre Dame, masons said so on blogs at the time. The government is too craven to admit it. Nantes cathedral will probably be no different.

  9. MykeJohn says

    Jul 21, 2020 at 6:47 am

    They are happy that it was time they buy the cathedral for nothing as they are wont to.

  10. ELI says

    Jul 21, 2020 at 8:26 am

    Don’t fall for this, plenty of fake accounts were created after the Notre Dame fire. This is just Robert Spencer redirecting anger towards Muslims which is a regular tactic.

    • Mr K.Wade says

      Jul 21, 2020 at 9:26 am

      BS from the arse of islam. There’s none so blind as those that do not want to see.

    • gravenimage says

      Jul 21, 2020 at 9:25 pm

      Ah…right. Don’t believe your eyes, ‘filthy Infidels’.

      And ELI has sneered at Robert Spencer before, for daring to oppose Jihad terror, Shari’ah, and slavery.

  11. No Muzzies Here says

    Jul 22, 2020 at 10:15 am

    One can only wonder if Muslims in France rejoiced over the destruction of Notre Dame, since that would have been scrubbed from all news reports.
