When will a mosque host Christians to pray the Lord’s Prayer and speak about Jesus as the Son of God? Right: never. As always, the “outreach” goes in only one direction, and no one seems to notice or care. Muslim Brotherhood theorist Sayyid Qutb explained: “The chasm between Islam and Jahiliyyah [the society of unbelievers] is great, and a bridge is not to be built across it so that the people on the two sides may mix with each other, but only so that the people of Jahiliyyah may come over to Islam.” Dialogue, in other words, is a means of dawah, Islamic proselytizing, not a genuine discussion or exchange.
Dans le chœur de l'église Saint Sulpice, dimanche dernier, un musulman a parlé du "prophète Muhammad"…
Mahomet a toujours nié la divinité du Christ et a persécuté des chrétiens.
Pour les catholiques, il n'est pas pas un prophète. pic.twitter.com/zc0Ah6Fb50— EL ЯAFA ن (@IsrafilElRafa) February 8, 2022
“In the choir of the church of Saint Sulpice, last Sunday, a Muslim spoke of the ‘prophet Muhammad’… Muhammad always denied the divinity of Christ and persecuted Christians. For Catholics, he is not a prophet.”

“Muslim Prayer Profanes Iconic Paris Church, by Jules Gomes, ChurchMilitant.com, February 11, 2022:
PARIS (ChurchMilitant.com) – A respected Islamic scholar and Parisian Catholic priest is condemning the recitation of the Koran and Muslim prayer in Paris’ largest church as the “abandonment of evangelization” and the “introduction of the Antichrist.”
Father Guy Pagès’ censure is being echoed by Parisian Muslim converts, who face the death penalty for apostasy from Islam — including a former high-ranking Islamic jurist who confessed to engaging in interfaith events “only to sanitize the true face of Islam in preparation for jihad.”
Catholics were shocked by the Muslim–Catholic celebration hosted by Saint-Sulpice’s church on Sunday to mark the International Day of Human Fraternity following the interfaith concordat between Pope Francis and Grand Imam Ahmed al-Tayyeb in 2019.
The indignation has been fanned by the sacrilegious syncretism of the Immaculate Virgin Mary with the Koran’s Maryam bint Imran who, according to Islamic historian Raymond Ibrahim, is portrayed in Islam as “‘married’ to and ‘copulating’ with Muhammad in paradise.”
Two Muslim imams recited “Surah Al-Fatiha,” the first chapter of the Koran, from a lectern in front of Saint-Sulpice’s high altar, while a Muslim woman wearing a hijab chanted verses from “Sura Maryam” — the koranic chapter named after the Islamic Mary.
To introduce Islam into a place consecrated to the exclusive worship of God is to introduce the Antichrist.The interreligious event, organized by Saint-Sulpice parish priest Fr. Henri de La Hougue, was promoted under the banner “Together With Mary,” bringing together around 800 participants and 30 associations “committed to dialogue and action for fraternity.”…

Just as a matter of interest, how many people of other Faiths been encouraged to read from their sacred texts in the large Paris mosque? Works such as the Old Testament, the New Testament, the Torah and the books for the Hindu and Sikh Faiths. Just asking!
mortimer says
Agree with the pertinent question of Istvan Vogel.
Will the Paris diocese ask adherents of Aztec human sacrifice cults or Catharism or Hare Krishna to pray in St-Sulpice or just Muslims? Why exclude the others?
At best, Fr. Henri de La Hougue is profoundly naïve to expect Muslims to overcome their canonical teaching called ‘AL WALAA WAL BARAA’ (comradeship with Muslim versus apartheid from non-Muslim kafirs). This event allows the mullahs yet another opportunity to use innuendo and deception à la TAQIYYA.
St-Sulpice is the church where the infamous Marquis de Sade was baptized. This red carpet for Muslims at St-Sulpice makes me suspect the French are indulging in national masochism … and combining religion in the mix.
Michael Copeland says
The translation above does not go as far as El Rafa’s comment “completement dingue!”.
This means “completely crazy!”.
The muslim man hugging the Christian man talks of “amitie”, friendship, but must be aware that the Koran instructs “Do not take Jews and Christians as friends”. He is probably also aware that he is authorised to use deception, taqiyya.
The black girl interviewed is wearing a “Coexist” T-shirt. Islam instructs (Koran 5:51), “Do not take Jews and Christians as allies”. Muslims are to be “merciful to each other and ruthless to the unbeliever” (48:29). Likewise “If anyone desire a religion other than Islam never will it be accepted of him” (3:85). The kind of “co-existence” that Islam envisages is the forcing of Christians to pay jizya, as second class citizens, “and feel themselves subdued” (9:29).
Probably the Saint-Sulpice parish priest, Fr. Henri de La Hougue, is not aware that, in Islam, once a space has been used for muslim prayer it is a mosque for all time.
Much need for Learning Curve here.
mortimer says
As translation for ‘completement dingue’, I recommend ‘COMPLETELY NUTS’.
Henri de La Hougue may not be ‘dingue’, but no informed person would make these decisions he did. He doesn’t realize that Muslims will see him as a dhimmi who has surrendered to Islamic suzerainty.
Islam doesn’t believe in co-existence. I suggest that Fr. de la Hougue read The Pact of Omar’ since it is the ‘default’ attitude of Islam towards the non-Muslim kafirs.

But wait a minute ! Aren’t Catholics supposed to follow the Pope’s example ?
Devasur says
This is just the beginning.
mortimer says
Yes, the beginning of Dhimmitude.
Kashyap says
Never ever! How can the community Muslims even think of that. It is not in their blood.
Infidel says
I recently heard, on one of the YouTube criticisms of Gandhi, that he aroused a lot of anger towards his last days when he sat in a Hindu temple and tried reading a quran, and there was an uproar in the temple and he got kicked out. It was pointed out that he never made it a point to try reading Hindu texts in a mosque
This story has dire warnings of what is headed for Europe at government level
somehistory says
A True Christian would not allow such to take place in their presence and on their property.
A Christian knows not to “sit at the table with demons” or “eat and drink at the table with demons.”
‘What does light have to do with darkness?” Absolutely nothing. They will all reap as they sow
OLD GUY says
How can a Catholic Church allow the devil to preach in its house of god? Makes me wonder if Rome is hedging its bet for survival again as they did with Nazism. The Pope is certainly not speaking out about the violence and destruction of Christian places of worship or his flock. Is that out of fear and self preservation or has he cut a deal with islamic leaders to keep the violence out of the Vatican by his silence.

It would seem that “the smoke of Satan” has entered more than the vatican.
