July 17, 2019 (LifeSiteNews) – “Anti-Christian attacks in France quietly quadrupled,” said the headline of a recent story in RealClear Investigations by Richard Bernstein, former Paris bureau chief for the New York Times.
It's an interesting, well-documented piece that avoids explaining away the worrying phenomenon in a simplistic way. Although Muslims are more and more visibly present in France — and despite spectacular Islamic terrorist attacks on isolated persons as well as on groups such as in Nice or at the Paris Bataclan theater — desecrations of churches, chapels and cemeteries are often tracked down to “native” French vandals, the majority of whom are adolescents or young adults.
But while the story lifts a veil on the worrisome trend which only the more traditional right-wing press in France is covering regularly, it does not underscore what is often the root cause of something that is more than mere vandalism: sacrilegious attacks on places and objects that Catholics hold to be most sacred.
The real cause of the increasing number of attacks is often "Satanism," said Bernard Antony, founder of the General Alliance against Racism and for the Respect of French and Christian Identity (AGRIF), in an exclusive interview with LifeSiteNews (read full interview below).
"So very often, Satanists are often involved," Antony said.
"The most serious desecration now goes back a long way: it hit Saint-Tugdual in Brittany, a magnificent chapel entirely destroyed by fire: the guilty people were also a group of young adult Satanists. This frequent Satanist component used these desecrations to express its hatred of the Christian religion," he added.

But it’s the same thing.
Do the Venn Diagram...
Just because they both do it, doesn’t excuse either ones.
Same thing.
"Often" is not a unit of measure.
There’s a difference without a distinction.
Somehow I do believe this. The satanist really hate it that we are against abortion. The muslims? they don’t care one way or another. Yes they have abortions but they are not “pro abortion” in that they will have pro abortion rallies and their women will be “deathscorts” at clinics. (not yet anyway) Although their doctors do preform them.
Satanist do all of those things.
The left has become the party of evil, whether it is the evil of islam or the greater evil of satanism or some other kind of evil doesn’t matter, that’s why they try to embrace queers and islam at the same time.
Their entire philosophy has become rebellion against GOD and goodness.
A distinction without a difference...
Assertions like these should be substantiated by citing the thought process offered by those caught in the act of vandalism
I must have missed the difference ...
You are correct sir. 👍
As if they’re different when they’re identical
In short, it is both satanists and muslims who are attacking Catholics. They are both the enemy of all Christians.
Buy guns and ammo, folks.
JoMa
Yep.
No doubt it is both.
Muslims are opposed to abortion after the quickening (first fetal movements), that’s apparently when they believe that the fetus receives a soul and becomes a human life. Obviously, that’s a medieval sort of mindset, but that’s when they believe life begins... but even medieval standards are standards... modern leftists have no standards at all when it comes to protecting human life.
