A historic church in Buffalo, New York, caught fire again this week, and it was determined to be the result of arson.
St. Ann’s Catholic Church was built in 1886.
It permanently closed down in August 2024 and was sold to an Islamic community for $250,000.

A. Muslims burned it down for insurance reasons.
B. An infidel didn’t want to see the church turned into a mosque.
It looks like the terrorists muzzie pork chops have begun their Crusades against America.
Hmmm...Islam converting another church into a base camp so the call to war can be amplified 5x per day.
> Islam converting another church into a base camp <
That’s a problem in the UK.
And seeping here, too.
No way can it end well.
Is there not a community of Christians that will put a stop to this and reconstruct their church? I sometimes wish that Christians had the same drive and passion that the muslims have, only it would be for good.
B. Drones have now been weaponized to firebomb these buildings.
it’s a war
Islam is a war plan
The only difference is that we’re maybe 30-40 years behind the UK. But the trajectory is exactly the same.

“seeping” was 25 years ago. It’s a firehose deluge now.
I get the same feeling all the time! Christians and whites are cowed and scared to death of being called "racist" or "islamophobe" so they buckle under.
It's looking more like Europe and the UK are completely lost, but we are only a few years behind them.
If a Charles Martel doesn't show up, we are done for.
My (wild) guess: The church was declining so much in attendance that the diocese decided to close it. Most dioceses are like that, pretty ruthless when it comes to closing and merging churches.
Then the Muslims won the bid for the building.
Say no to that bid, and you’ll be slapped with a huge lawsuit.
I don’t know if most of these churches are not open and operating as a church, or if they’re poorly attended by people who just shrug their shoulders when the muslims burn them down. It is very disheartening, and I don’t think it’s what Jesus meant by “meek.”
B. An infidel didn’t want to see the church turned into a mosque.
I actually know this church and the area. Located in what was once a German-Polish neighborhood on the east side of Buffalo. Was a very beautiful church. Hand-crafted stained-glass, wood, and statuary from 19th century Germany. My Dad was born and raised there before his family moved in the 1950s
The area has been a ghetto for 40 years after whites moved out. Like Detroit - muslims from the worst/poorest countries have recently moved in (with the help of Democrats and welfare bureaucracy/NGO complex) and housing is practically free in that area if one pays taxes on properties and keeps them from falling down
Some Bengali guy from out-of-town bought this derelict church and school from the Catholic Diocese of Buffalo in 2022 for $250K. Church roof needed work, but property also had a very large, solid school building and occupied a whole city block. His plan was to make an "Islamic Community Center" and was looking for handouts/funding for his scheme/scam.
My best guess - turned out to be a financial burden for the Bengali owner. He had it burned, to avoid demands for upkeep, while forcing the city to tear it down, all while claiming victimhood.
The guy has since disappeared. I doubt the place was even insured. The mayor of Buffalo says the city will NOT pay to tear it down. Will they sue the owner? Can he even be found? We will see how this plays out....
A point of order: The word “crusade” derives from the Latin “crux” meaning “a cross”. “Moslem crusade” is a contradiction in terms; an oxymoron.
When the deranged followers of Mad Mo the False Prophet go on the warpath, it’s a “jihad”, which is a transliteration of an Arabic word for “struggle”. If a mohammedan were to write a book about his own personal involvement in “jihad”, he might title it in English: “My Struggle”. He’d have to use a different title in German ... because that one is already taken.
Thanks for the info.
That’s one nice thing about FR. No matter what the topic, you can count on someone to offer some special insight.
👍
There It Is....
Thanks
I don’t know the situation in Buffalo, but the typical case would be a church whose parishoners left for the suburbs long ago. The church is left with a tiny and rapidly dying out handful of elderly people, no way to pay its bills, and probably dependent on a circuit rider priest who runs himself ragged saying mass at relict parishes.
The RCC can’t afford to keep all these old buildings open. The parish is consolidated, the old building is deconsecrated, and it is then sold. With luck, a growing church that has a growing neighborhood presence will take it over. But if the area is being overrun with Muslims, probably courtesy of the diversity bureaucrats at all levels of government, it will sometimes be the Muslims who are shopping for a suitable building that they can repurpose.
I looked at Google. The land can’t be worth much. It looks to be in a largely residential area with a lot of vacant lots and land in the area.
It’s A) Moslems get insurance money...tho should not be paid if it’s arson.
A, part 2) What was once a church is replaced by a mosque.
Rinse & repeat everywhere.
