In Bordeaux, a bishop comes out to bless a Muslim market. A Muslim Arab spits in his face.

As happens now in a great many French towns and cities, Muslim migrants choose to set out their wares — cheap wares from China, better merchandise that was shoplifted from stores or taken in street muggings and house burglaries — on shabby rugs spread on the ground right outside the entry to churches. In this way, they place themselves in the very center of urban activity, given the centrality of these churches, and at the same time, they physically interfere with congregants wanting to enter or exit the church. The noise, too, of these “merchants” advertising their goods wafts into the church, interfering with the solemn services taking place within. It’s what the Infidels, “the most vile of creative beings” (Qur’an 98:6) deserve.
Instead of complaining to the authorities to remove these Muslim markets, the Christian clergy bend over backward to show lovingkindness to the Muslims. At the Bordeaux church of St. Michel, the priest comes out of the church after every Mass to bless the Muslim merchants, who are not at all impressed. In one recent incident, the bishop himself came out to bless the “Muslim market.” And for his pains, one Muslim spat directly in his face, leaving the good bishop stunned. None of the other Muslims in the crowd offered words of sympathy to the bishop, nor any chastisement of the man who had done the spitting. No doubt the bishop will return, unfazed, to bless those Muslims yet again. Now some of them have followed up on the spitting incident by moving inside the church itself, along with their wares, staking a claim to Christian territory for their own use. It will be fascinating to see if the police will finally remove them, not just from inside the church, but also from the parvis outside the main entry, confiscating their goods, and charging them both with unlawful blocking of the church entry, and with deliberate interference — their loud chatter — of the church services.
Can you imagine what would have happened if the roles had been reversed? Imagine a market of Christian vendors setting up shop — displaying their wares on the ground — just outside a mosque, blocking the movement of the Believers. Imagine an imam, or a senior Muslim cleric, coming out of the mosque to extend his good wishes to those Christians, only to find himself being spat upon by a Christian. Would he, like the bishop in Bordeaux, turn the other cheek? Of course not. Those Christians would have been beaten senseless on the spot.
What will happen to the Muslims sitting in front of the entryway to the church of St. Michel in Bordeaux, making it harder for worshippers to go in and out? Who will tell them to move away from the entry so that worshippers are not inconvenienced, or tell them they must move as well because their joking, swearing, yelling to one another in their guttural Arabic, and calling out to passersby in French about the splendid bargains that they have for sale, makes it hard for worshippers to follow the service within?
Nothing will happen unless the Muslims with their street market on the ground just outside the church of St. Michel are forcibly removed. The French don’t want to cause a violent reaction among the Muslims in Bordeaux. Better to say nothing, and hope that eventually the Muslim street sellers will move their “market” to another spot. And if they don’t? I don’t think the French police will at this point forcibly move those Muslims away from the church parvis. But the residents of Bordeaux who have seen that unsettling and menacing spectacle, or seen the video of the bishop being spat at, will go home, now more intent than ever to vote for the candidates — Marine Le Pen, Eric Zemmour, Eric Ciotti — who are most likely to be willing to enact laws putting an end to Muslim immigration, and to begin a relentless policy of repatriation, both of those Muslims in the country illegally, including those who have stayed on even though they have been subject to deportation orders, and of those who, the government can determine, are not true “refugees,” but merely economic migrants. The scene of the Muslim spitting in the Bishop’s face has gone viral. It will have, thank god, its unintended consequences, as the French antipathy to these migrants grows and grows.

They should put a speaker outside the church entrance and force the Muslims to hear the true word of God during masses.
Adam says
They cannot do that. Democracies will accuse the church with hate crime. Muslims are voters. Period.
Statler says
And so, in reverse, wouldn’t that also hold for the calls to prayer from the minarets, forcing non-believers to hear the call to kill them? Don’t those calls qualify as hate crime as well? Why tolerate this constant incitement to genocide, slavery, child rape, etc., etc.?
somehistory says
Ring the bells. Do Catholic churches have bells? that might help disperse some of the thieving mozlums
This is so stupid on so many levels. First, no Christian who knows the Bible and Jesus Christ, would *bless* such a thing as 1) an illegal market, nor 2) a mozlum business of any kind, nor 3) thieves of any persuasion.
This ‘priest’ should have known better than to do such as he did. He didn’t deserve the spit, but he was not carrying out God’s will, either.
Issei says
Is the bishop insane. Islam is from the devil, “bless the market”
This has got to stop. Stop working with the devil
Johnny B says
This reminds me of the cleansing of the temple in the New Testament. There’s no cause for blessing this thing…
tim gallagher says
When it comes to Muslims, it is them or us. There is no getting along with Muslims. They have no intention of ever getting along peacefully with the hated non-Muslims. As for this priest, wake the hell up, you gullible fool, and learn a bit about islam. The sheer idiocy of sucking up to the Muslim enemy and blessing this market is off the charts. One thing is for sure, if it had been a Buddhist market, no Buddhist, for example, would have spat on the priest’s face, that’s for sure. It is always Muslims. Truly the scum of the earth because they are brought up to hate all non-Muslims. Muslims’ bad attitude poisons their dealings with all people who don’t happen to belong to their vile religious ideology. They should be shut out of all non-Muslim societies.
Pray Hard says
The bishop was an idiot for trying such a stupid, attention-whoring prank.
DEIL says
They need a man like him!
A Hero.

We need more like him.
And more Robert Spencer.
somehistory says
He is a man of courage. And is speaking Truth.
STJOHNOFGRAFTON says
If this bishop was goofy enough to think he was representing God by blessing satanic territory then he should not be surprised that he got spat upon.
Biggles says
I’m deeply ashamed by the behaviour of this bishop: caeci sunt et duces caecorum… (Matthew 15: 14)
Goofy says
Mr Pope, have you got any problems with your bishops being insulted by Muslims?
After all, you embrace the notion that Islam is Abrahamic meaning that Jehovah and Allah are different names for the same god.
You should know that for Islam to say that it is Abrahamic is an empty claim and nothing more. There is no genealogy connecting Ishmael with Muhammad.
Even more important is the fact that Jehovah and Allah are as different as can be: Jehovah is spirit, Allah is physical. Jehovah cannot lie whilst Allah is the greatest of all deceivers, Allah is one, and he cannot have a son without a partner of his own kind (?),
Still the Muslims believe in the virgin birth of Isa by a spirit which Allah doesn’t have. Isa himself created live birds out of clay (a creation of life belonging to God and only him) which makes Allah the greatest of creators (how many are there when Allah is one?)
Allah offers his believers an eternal life in bodily “pleasures” a paradisical bordello fitted with sex slaves which are close to the very definition of those who do not belong in the Kingdom of God!
Mr Pope you are under the very command of our Lord and Saviour Jesus Christ to preach the gospel to the world, not to fraternise with blasphemers, who for good measure kill Christians and those Muslims who see the light and convert.
You have apparently no problem with that. And you have no problem with Christians murdered on a daily basis in Nigeria and other African countries.
They may fittingly quote Ro 8:36
As it is written, For thy sake we are killed all the day long; we are accounted as sheep for the slaughter.
But you don’t care, you are a political wannabe, not a man of God!
James Lincoln says
Goofy,
Judging by his words and actions, the current Pope is not even a Christian.
OLD GUY says
I think the Pope and Joe should go to the same old peoples home now.
Lisa T. says
There might be another way to look at what the priest and the bishop were trying to do. It could also be that they were attempting to reclaim the sanctity of the physical space in front of the church. If these Muslims actually believed we Christians are among the “worst of creatures” they should want to flee from our sacred spaces.
If the choir members had the guts to do it, they might come outside and sing some sacred songs. Of course, they might end up beheaded for their trouble. So, perhaps that bishop should count himself lucky to only have been spit upon.
Hudders. says
MATT 21:12-13
And Jesus went into the temple of God, and cast out all them that sold and bought in the temple, and overthrew the tables of the moneychangers, and the seats of them that sold doves, and said unto them, It is written, My house shall be called the house of prayer; but ye have made it a den of thieves.
Don’t bless the stinking market, the criminals & illegals who hawk their garbage there!
REMOVE THE WHOLE DUNG PILE…
