Gee, who might be plotting to attack the churches? “White supremacists”?
“Christmas: Darmanin Asks the Prefects to Strengthen Security In Front of Churches and Shops,” translated from “Noël: Darmanin Demande aux Préfets de Renforcer la Sécurité Devant les Églises et les Commerces,” BFM TV, December 15, 2021:
Gérald Darmanin on Wednesday asked prefects to strengthen security in front of places of worship and shops as the Christmas holidays approach, due to the terrorist threat and the increased risk of robberies. The Minister of the Interior thus asked in a message that prefects “ensure the systematic presence” of police in front of “Christian places of worship.”
Symbolic places or sites that can bring together a large number of people during the end-of-year celebrations, such as Christmas markets or shopping areas, should also benefit from enhanced protection. The police presence will have to be “dissuasive and visible” with, if necessary, recourse to the soldiers of the Sentinel force and to the municipal police, in particular at the time of masses.
“Increased risk of violent delinquency”
In early December, two 23-year-old men were indicted and remanded in custody for a planned terrorist knife attack on passers-by, “around Christmas time,” in shopping malls, universities or in the city streets, according to a judicial source.
The prefects were also asked to “prevent armed robberies” by securing “shops and the flow of goods, at intersections or within logistics platforms.” “Cash transport, jewelry stores, tobacco shops (…) are exposed to increased risks of violent delinquency” during this period of closure and must be more closely monitored, this note emphasizes.
Wellington says
Must be due to all the nasty Hindus, Jews, agnostics, atheists, and let’s not forget those terrible Buddhists out there, who have a violence-prone animus towards Christmas.
Yes, this must be it. Can’t off hand think of any others with such an antipathy toward Christmas. Gee, can anyone?

Right wing pro life terrorists.
Namer says
Are you off your meds again Abu?

No, he’s not, Namer. abu taleb is being sarcasatic–as are Wellington and myself in the post he was replying to.
And what do you mean “again”? abu taleb is a staunch, long time Anti-Jihadist here. I think his username is tongue-in-cheek.

France: Interior minister calls for strengthened security around churches in run-up to Christmas
………………..
Gérald Darmanin isn’t going to mention Islam here–even thbough, bizarrely, he has accused Marine Le Pen of being “too soft” on Islam. Strange times…
mortimer says
Interior Minister Gérald Darmanin must be ‘Islamophobic’ if he thinks that the jihadists hate Christmas which is the Festival of the Incarnation of God … in Islam that would be ‘shirk’ to worship a man.
Perhaps Gérald Darmanin has read the so-called ‘dhimmi rules’ in the PACT OF OMAR which specifies that Christians should not perform Christian ceremonies loudly or in public.

Gérald Darmanin actually does appear to be savvier than most French politicians. Although he sadly believes that Islam has been hijacked by “Islamism”. Of course, this violence is orthodox Islam.
OLD GUY says
I Wonder if he’ll have to strengthen security around mosque’s during Ram-a-Dam?
