Christmas in the New Europe: Jihad Massacre Foiled at Germany’s Cologne Cathedral
PJ Media ^ | 12/23/2023 | Robert Spencer

The new Europe is vibrantly diverse, and that means it must be infinitely superior to the old Europe. Every paradise has its downside, however, and as Europe assumes its new status in the world as the globalists’ premier showcase of multiculturalism, there are some definite sour notes. One came on Saturday in Germany, as a jihad plot was foiled targeting the renowned Cologne Cathedral, on which construction began in the year 1248.

The German-language publication Bild reported Saturday that there were “several arrests” as “Islamists planned an attack on Cologne Cathedral.” A police spokesman in Cologne explained: “Due to a warning of a threat to Cologne Cathedral, the Cologne police will take special protective measures beginning this evening.”

Michael Esser, Cologne’s police, suggested that the plot was set not for Christmas, but for New Year’s Eve. However, he said: “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.”

Bild added that “the police and the Cologne Cathedral Chapter recommend avoiding bags and arriving early to the masses.” It’s the price of multiculturalism, folks. Come for the schwarma, stay for the jihad.

Cologne wasn’t even the only target. The Bild report also noted that “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.” Besides Cologne, the targets could include Christmas observances in Vienna and Madrid. There were arrests Saturday in Vienna as well

Should someone explain “Islamophobia”, again?

I got to spend a couple of hours exploring the Dom of Cologne many years ago. Though majestic and beautiful, I never got the feeling that I was in a house of God. Just a big, old, beautiful building for the tourists to gawk at.

“Just a big, old, beautiful building for the tourists to gawk at.”

I’ve been there (1960) and agree.

I’m wondering if they’ve patched all the shrapnel damage to the façade...

Don’t bring guns to the church as it’s an Islamic target for mass murder, or they’ll be confiscated by the socialist state that has imported Islam and mass murder of Christians.

Did I square the progressive circle?
