Time for Merkel to convene a commission on “Islamophobia” to find out what got the poor dears’ feathers ruffled, and how many euros it is going to take to pacify them for awhile.
“Disturbance in Easter service,” translated from “Störer im Ostergottesdienst,” by Oliver Potengowski, Wetterauer Zeitung, April 12, 2021 (thanks to Medforth):
Nidda (Saxony). Because of an incident in the run-up to the Easter service in the Nidda city church, state security is investigating three as yet unknown perpetrators. They were apparently drunk and insulted worshipers and shouted Islamic slogans. Although a police patrol arrived during the service, the perpetrators have not yet been identified.
Contrary to popular belief, Easter, rather than Christmas, is the most important festival in Christianity. The Easter services on early Sunday mornings are of paramount importance. For the second year in a row, it has been difficult for the congregations to celebrate this most important service of the year.
In Nidda, it was at least possible for a limited number of believers who had registered beforehand to experience the beginning of Easter morning together in the church. But while the preparations were still in progress, three young men apparently disturbed them so severely that the effects overshadowed the service and the hours that followed.
First, according to a press release from the parish, two confirmands who came to the church with their relatives noticed the three men who had come from the Schlossgasse and had settled down by the fountain. Shortly afterwards, they insulted another church attendee there.
Visitors filmed with cell phones
Apparently the young men became aware of the upcoming service through the incoming visitors and the illuminated church, as the congregation describes the ensuing events. Two of them had come into the church through the side entrance. They pointed their cell phones at the worshipers and apparently filmed them. They also had bottles that presumably had alcohol with them.
Pastor Hanne Allmansberger asked the young men to leave the church because they were not registered for the service, as Allmansberger explained to them, nor were they wearing a face mask. But instead of obeying the request, the troublemakers repeatedly shouted “There is only one God and that is Allah” and “Allah is the greatest.” They apparently continued to film what was happening.
Only when Pastor Allmansberger again energetically asked her to leave the church and meanwhile other visitors got up and went to the side entrance through which the young men had come in, did they leave the church again. They went away with the third young man who had been waiting at the door.
Perceived as threatening
Above all, the children and young people felt the situation as threatening, reports the parish. But adult participants in the service were also very shocked by the incident. “The Easter Vigil service was overshadowed by the events, the horror of the young men’s over-the-line, improper and threatening behavior persisted for some time among participants and congregants. Fortunately, the service itself, as well as the other Easter services, went on without incident.” But there were concerns that the troublemakers would come back later, perhaps also during the service that started at 6 o’clock. Therefore, a visitor informed the police, who also arrived during the celebration. The press office of the police in Central Hesse confirms the incident and that the state security has started investigations into disruption of the practice of religion. Witnesses are currently being heard.
Mayor Hans-Peter Seum stated that he had not yet been informed of the incident by either the police or the community. The Nidda police station confirmed the events to him on request. The Protestant parish emphasizes “that Christianity demands and lives tolerance towards other religions. This must also be expected from people who belong to another religious community.”

Aren’t Muslims against the consumption of alcohol?
mortimer says
Jihadists have no problem with drinking before conducting jihad, because their sins will be forgiven by an act of jihad.
Mount Zion says
If someone had told me that there is a religion where a sin can be forgiven by a higher sin , meaning :” drinking beeing forgiven by allah if you kill infidels during jihad” , then I would have immediately guessed :”It’s got to be Islam”.
Check Burry says
Any normal person when reading/hearing this, that killing tops drinkin booze, would leave that cult.
It doesnt happen.

Bob : in genral yes , but there are too many mufkimd who drink alcohol secretly as I had some Muslim friends who were “ moderate “ Muslims at that time in Iraq ( and I am a Canadian Christian guy originally from Iraq ) who used to drink alcohol heavily ! It’s a propaganda of Muslims especially when addressing the West of his try are against wine blah blah ..
gravenimage says
True, Mortimer.
Lion heart says
Man , these stories of Muslims evil acts in the west Judy make my blood boil ! The west should learn from the evil saddam Hussain some Cruelty regarding Muslim thugs and tufts by kicking them all out of the west even the “ nice “ ones back to their shithole in Islamic countries as saddam did to the Iranians in 1980s after they committed terrorist attacks in Baghdad so he kicked them all out ! I guarantee you if I was ever a prime minister to any western country , I would have kicked ALL Muslims !! even if people call me racist ! and I am a Canadian Christian guy originally from Iraq and I am saying this out of what we suffered from Muslims for the last 14 centuries especially after the fall of Saddam’s bloody regime. But unfortunately the western governments are weak towards Islam !!!
Check Burry says
They are against everything Western or nonmus.

mortimer says
A prudent church pastor and his councillors would step up security in the church with cameras and even a paid guard on important occasions.
Muslims tend to attack churches on Easter and at Christmas when larger numbers attend. Jihadists seem to think that by terrorizing Christians they can conquer European countries, especially Germany.

If so many Muslims had not been allowed to enter the civilized world, this would not be necessary.
Andrew Blackadder says
A year or so ago I suggested to a young German guy that Merkel was the second worse Leader Germany has ever had, he looked at me and asked ,Who is the first…
Those who forget the past are doomed to repeat it.
At the highest point in Germany there is an islamic prayer room with a toilet next to it that has a sign stating, For muslims ONLY…In German of course.
This islamic prayer room is on top of the Zugspitize Mountain outside Garmish in Bavaria on the southern border with Austria.
Most Germans dont even know this prayer room exists, and those that do, find it is quite acceptable.
JamesC. says
Even Muslim urination and defecation have to be from a greater height than that performed by mere kaffirs.
Apparently.
Beneath the Veil of Consciousness says
These incidents used to be confined to an Islamic hellhole country like Pakistan.
Peter Buckley says
One never-mentioned aspect of immigration is the number of muslims who convert. Five or six years ago, when baptisms of ex-muslims were taking place en masse in Germany, it was suggested that these muslims were converting simply to gain asylum. In fact, years later, these converts have remained true to their new faith:
https://www.christianitytoday.com/ct/2020/july-august/germany-refugee-muslim-christian-convert-asylum-claims.html
It’s quite likely these angry muslims were trying to hunt down the converts.
Islam is now officially the Religion of Impotent Rage.
These are wondrous times…..
Keith O says
Part of me wonders if incidents like this are simply recons for future attacks?
Just testing the waters to see what security is like, recording the layout of the church, if there is security etc.
James Lincoln says
Likely so, Keith O.
gravenimage says
Yes, Keith–in cohtries with higher percentages of Muslims these attacks on churches are often violent.

JamesC. says
Like Count Dracula, the Islamovampires have a phobia of crosses.
I would not be surprised, if the horror of Crosses which distinguishes vampires was picked up from knowledge of Muslims. Stories of vourdalaks/vampires seem to come from the parts of Eastern Europe that were under Ottoman influence or rule.
