How to be a leftist:

1. Vote leftist

2. Complain about leftist politicians

3. Repeat 1 and 2 forever.

Muslims want to put their flags over St. Peters in Rome and will do anything to get it done. Time to crank up the Crusades again becauaw mualima won’t stop as long as they are well financed by Saudi and other Middle East oil Countries.

Well, that’s nice. Will the Church now take steps to help remove the Muslim invaders before it’s too late?

I didn’t think so.

What’s interesting is my brother back in 1995 got a job teaching English in Vienna as he speaks fluent German. They even set him up with an apartment and went to see him When I got to the airport immigration quetioned the living crap at of me. What are you doing here? I’m visiting my brother. Where does he live? What is he doing here? My brother said when his work visa expired immigration was at his door the I think he said the next day and booted his ass out. So what happened? Why are terrorists there? I guess the people made the fatal mistake of voting for leftists.

once upon a time, Austrians and their neighbours fought off the Islamic attackers.... thus, protecting Europe from Moslem Occupation and domination. apparently, they don’t give a da** anymore?

a tiny excerpt from our nice friends at wiki:

The Siege and Battle of Vienna[a] took place at Kahlenberg Mountain near Vienna on 12 September 1683[2] after the city had been besieged by the Ottoman Empire for two months. The battle was fought by the Holy Roman Empire, led by the Habsburg monarchy, and the Polish–Lithuanian Commonwealth, both under the command of Polish King John III Sobieski, against the Ottomans and their vassal and tributary states. The battle marked the first time the Commonwealth and the Holy Roman Empire had cooperated militarily against the Ottomans. The defeat was a major turning point for the Ottoman Empire and their expansion into Europe, after which they would gain no further ground.[23][Note 3] In the ensuing war that lasted until 1699, the Ottomans would cede most of Ottoman Hungary to Leopold I, Holy Roman Emperor.[23]

not the first time the Moslems have attacked trying to take over the Vatican (and the rest of Europe)

Pope Leo IV (died 17 July 855) was the bishop of Rome and ruler of the Papal States from 10 April 847 to his death in 855. He is remembered for repairing Roman churches that had been damaged during the Arab raid against Rome, and for building the Leonine Wall around Vatican Hill to protect the city. Pope Leo organized a league of Italian cities who fought and won the sea Battle of Ostia against the Saracens.

...

Pontificate
In April 847, Leo was unanimously chosen to succeed Sergius II. As the attack of the Saracens on Rome in 846 caused the people to fear for the safety of the city, he was consecrated on 10 April, 847 without waiting for the consent of the emperor.[1]

Saracen defenses
He immediately began to repair the damage done to various churches of the city during the Arab raid against Rome. He restored and embellished the damaged Basilica of Saint Paul Outside the Walls and St. Peter’s Basilica. The latter’s altar again received its gold covering (after being stolen), which weighed 206 pounds (93.4 kilograms) and was studded with precious gems. Following the restoration of St. Peter’s, Leo appealed to the Christian kingdoms to confront the Arab raiders.[2]

Leo also took precautions against further raids. He put the walls of the city into a thorough state of repair, entirely rebuilding fifteen of the great towers. He was the first to enclose the Vatican hill by a wall.[1] Leo ordered a new line of walls encompassing the suburb on the right bank of the Tiber to be built, including St. Peter’s Basilica, which had been undefended until this time. The district enclosed by the walls is still known as the Leonine City, and corresponds to the later rione of Borgo. To do this, he received money from the emperor, and help from all the cities and agricultural colonies (domus cultae) of the Duchy of Rome. The work took him four years to accomplish.[3][1]

With drones, attaching a flag will be easier to do.
