Debate has emerged in France due to news about the diocese of Tours helping fund a new Muslim worship center.
According to La Nouvelle République, Salah Merabti, president of the Muslim community of Indre-et-Loire —which is about 150 miles southwest of Paris — recently thanked the local Catholic diocese for its contribution to the mosque, which is just a part of a brand new community center.
He told the paper that his co-religionists received 150,000 euros from Coca-Cola Algeria, as well as funding from local elected officials, the Jewish community and the Catholic diocese. "This is comforting," he said. In 2019, as many as 9,000 Muslims showed up at the construction site to celebrate the end of the Ramadan fasting period. In 2020, COVID restrictions kept them away.

Given that Allah is Satan I’m not getting behind this action.
It’s what The Boss wants.
don’t they dare whine one bit the next time the church gets torched, and this time burnt to the ground...

Was that in payment for the Notre Dame cathedral?
It would have been NICE if Islam had developed as merely a splinter sect of its Christian-Jewish influences
but alas, it got infused with all sorts of (not just heretical doctrines but) Satanic, evil teachings.
Allah is Arabic for “God” but Allah turns out to not be at all like the Biblical Creator, and many of his followers just downright hate Christians and Jews. A tragedy of history. So long as Islam continues to teach violence, suppression, and hate against Christians and Jews — I would not give it one thin dime. In its present form it must be fought, not helped, it must be DEFEATED (before it defeats us)!
