French Intelligence Warns of Rising Islamist Threat to Christians
European Conservative ^ | 11 26 2025 | Rebeka Kis

France’s domestic intelligence service has warned of a growing threat to Christian communities, according to a confidential report obtained by Le Figaro that links recent attacks in Europe to decades of jihadist propaganda.

The warning comes in the wake of the September 10th attack in Lyon on Ashur Sarnaya, an Iraqi Christian man in a wheelchair, which investigators say reflects a persistent jihadist obsession with targeting Christians.

According to France’s General Directorate for Internal Security (DGSI), Islamist organizations have consistently targeted Christians, portraying them as “infidels” or “idolaters.” This rhetoric, the report says, is rooted in long-standing propaganda that casts Christians as “crusaders” and folds together references to the Crusades, European colonization, and recent Western military operations.

The DGSI’s report shows how anti-Christian rhetoric has translated into real-world violence. In 1998, al-Qaeda leader Osama bin Laden issued a fatwa calling for attacks against “Jews and Crusaders.” His successor, Ayman al-Zawahiri, depicted the global situation as a clash pitting “the Crusaders and their allies” against Muslims.

The Islamic State has repeatedly adopted similar language, promising in 2014 that “we will conquer your Rome, break your crosses, and enslave your women …They will sell your sons in the slave market.” In 2015, its French-language magazine Dar al-Islam encouraged attacks on churches to “instill fear in their hearts,” while the jihadist outlet Thabat issued a statement in Arabic condemning “Islamophobia” and urging the use of knives or vehicles as weapons, specifically targeting Christian places of worship.

Déjà vu. Who would have guessed? Charles Martel is spinning in his grave. The French really are that stupid.

The French Revolution and it’s subsequent Republics convinced generations of the French elite. Contact with French culture would purge all who experienced it of primitive tribal ways.
Now combine that with Western guilt and France has what it has!

France’s Directorate for Internal Security has correctly identified the problem. That’s a good start, I suppose.

Now, are the politicians bold enough to take steps to solve the problem?
Unfortunately, not a chance.

Only a military coup can save Europe now.

🙁

So a group of low IQ savages who have a 1400 year long history of violent savagery, murder, rape, and slavery, who worship their operations manual 5 times a day is a problem?

It doesn’t take a national Intelligence Service. Indeed, it doesn’t even take a wink with a double digit IQ to recognize the extreme danger from the islamicist invasion.
Either a fast large- scale repatriation or kiss France goodbye.
