“Targets could also include Christmas services in Cologne, Vienna and Madrid.”
The celebrations of diversity are taking on a special vibrancy this Christmas!
“Several arrests: Islamists planned an attack on Cologne Cathedral,” translated from “Mehrere Festnahmen: Islamisten planten Anschlag auf den Kölner Dom,” by Frank Schneider, Bild, December 23, 2023:
Cologne – The security authorities in Austria, Germany and Spain have received indications that an Islamist terrorist cell may want to carry out several attacks in Europe on New Year’s Eve or Christmas.
Targets could also include Christmas services in Cologne, Vienna and Madrid. According to BILD information, the first arrests by special units are said to have taken place today in Vienna and also one in Germany.
Since 2010, 18 Islamist terrorist attacks have been prevented in Germany.
The Vienna police therefore reported in the evening: “Due to a current threat assessment by the Office for the Protection of the Constitution and the continued increased terror alert level, there is generally an increased risk in Austria during the Christmas holidays.
Since terrorist actors across Europe are calling for attacks on Christian events – especially around December 24th – the security authorities have increased the corresponding protective measures in public spaces in Vienna and the federal states. “Dangerous places or objects in particular are increasingly monitored and guarded.”
In Cologne, the Cologne Cathedral is to be searched in the evening. The police operations management wants to make sure that dangerous objects have not already been deposited in the church. That’s why explosives detection dogs will also be used.
A spokesman for the Cologne police: “Due to a warning of a threat to Cologne Cathedral, the Cologne police will take special protective measures beginning this evening. The police will not comment on details of the available findings due to ongoing investigations by the police state security service.”
Cologne’s police chief Michael Esser, who is leading the operation, explains the security measures: “Even if the reference refers to New Year’s Eve, we will take everything into account this evening to ensure the safety of cathedral visitors on Christmas Eve. In coordination with the security officer of the cathedral chapter, the cathedral will be searched with sniffer dogs after the evening mass and then locked. Tomorrow all visitors will be screened before entering the church.”
The police and the Cologne Cathedral Chapter recommend avoiding bags and arriving early to the masses.
► In Vienna, St. Stephen’s Cathedral is said to be particularly at risk. The Vienna police even announce access controls with submachine guns.
“These precautionary measures serve to maintain the general safety of the people in Austria. There will be increased police precautions over the Christmas holidays. Civilian and uniformed emergency services with special equipment and long weapons are deployed. Police attention is focused primarily on churches and religious events, especially church services and Christmas markets. The measures are taken depending on necessity and can also include access controls if necessary. Visitors to events and church services are asked to bring a photo ID and to allow more time than usual.”

Matters must be coming to a head soon, just wants one of these threats to be made mainifest in a Christian place of worship and the governments of Europe/ Scandinavian can no longer turn a blind eye and start protecting their citizens

The West’s pantomime of noble tolerance, based on the deluded pretence that there is actually some ‘good’ in islam and that the evil exhibitionist outrages such as the one threatened here are the work of isolated so-called ‘islamist’ renegades who don’t reflect the ‘religion of peace’, has had a long enough run on the world stage and it’s time to wake up accept reality – otherwise there won’t be a civilised audience left to enjoy the fairy-tale because the actors on stage would have massacred all of them. It’s time for ‘an eye for an eye’, etc., because that’s all that these sanctified criminals can apparently understand. If these primeval specimens really wanted to create mayhem during one of Cologne Cathedral’s most prestigious ceremonies, they should be given them a taste of their own medicine at one of their prestigious mosques during one of their own festivals; then let the world stand by and watch them all crying ‘islamophobia’ ad nauseam until they’re blue in the face.

I think it will continue until the whole place experiences a replay of the fall of Constantinople, because idiot left-wing voters will continue to vote for the people who do turn a blind eye and don’t protect their citizens from the illegal Muslim migration invasion.
SteveM says
I agree with this. And the fact Europeans don’t breed or go to Church. It’s a dying civilization and will be replaced by Islam a much stronger civilization than globalhomo. Whatever survives of Christiandom will be in Russia and other Eastern European countries. They don’t take any shit and keep Muslim fanatics isolated like in far off places like Chechnya.

Hey, Big Dude, Do you think that from the river to the sea could mean from the Odor to the Atlantic?
Ade Fegan says
Just one of these events should be enough for the so called authorities throughout the West to completely shut down all migration from muslim countries …. What a mess
Mick says

Hudders. says
Thank Heavens it was stopped.

Thank you.
Ray Jarman says
Is this the Deutschland that Angela Merkel promised to all Germans with the influx of Muslims? It seems that the eradication of Christians and Jews has already begun. I think that it is time for the Bundestag to call in the military to eradicate this plaque by deportation of each and everyone of them.
James Lincoln says
Definitely a “clear and present danger”, Ray.
Ray Jarman says
Thanks James and I hope you had an excellent Christmas.
Namer says
I wouldnt be surprised if the terrorists start attacking small churches instead of large ones to install fear that no one is safe.
SteveM says
Can’t these Muslim just control themselves? They will stat having a majority by 2050-2080 depending on the country an can destroy or convert these Churchs by statute. Patentice Mohammed.

If one puts out a welcome mat made of wood, the termites will come and eat.
If one puts out the welcome mat for any lawless one, mozlums will be there lickety split
and they will do what mozlums are infamous for doing….threaten, terrorize, rape and murder as they destroy the lives and happiness of everyone.
The authorities stopped this one, but there will be more. the hordes are there and planning.
