- In
the last 30 years, more mosques and Muslim prayer centers have
been built in France than all the Catholic churches built in
the last century.
- The
Church of Santa Rita used to stand in the fifteenth arrondissement
of Paris. A few weeks after Father Hamel was murdered by
Islamic terrorists, the French police cleared the church. It
is now a parking lot. Police dragged the priests out by their
legs as a Mass was being celebrated.
- In
France there are laws protecting old trees. But the state is
free to flatten old Christian churches. The vacuums created in
the French landscape are already being filled by the booming
mosques. Cowardly French authorities would never treat Islam
as they are now treating Christianity.

"France is not a random space... fifteen
centuries of history and geography determined its personality.
Inscribed in the depths of our landscape, the churches, the
cathedrals and other places of pilgrimage give meaning and form to
our patriotism. Let us demand our civil authorities to respect
it". Two years ago, the French journalist Denis Tillinac
promoted this appeal, signed by dozens of French personalities,
after some French imams requested the conversion of abandoned
churches into mosques.
A year later, terrorists who pledged allegiance to
the Islamic State assaulted the Catholic parishioners in the church
of Saint-Étienne-du-Rouvray, murdering an elderly priest, Father
Jacques Hamel, at the foot of the altar. An outpouring of great
emotion followed the most serious attack on a Christian symbol in
Europe since the Second World War.

- A
key mission clearly stipulated in Iran's constitution, is to
export its Islamist ideology, and actively ensure the
continuous infiltration and expansion of Islamist values
throughout the world. That is why the Revolutionary Guards
established a special force, the Quds Force and Basij, with a
publicly-announced mission of becoming engaged in
extraterritorial operations -- religiously, ideologically,
militarily and politically.
- These
Islamist spies normally come to the West, and particularly the
US, under various guises, including seeking education,
engaging in research, or for health-related purposes. They
target specific US embassies, universities, research centers,
or hospitals to obtain visas. Their ability to present
themselves as ideal candidates for help creates the appearance
of safety; meanwhile, their intentions may be to cause
widespread harm.
- When
Dehnavi was blocked at the Boston airport, many pro-Iranian
regime agents in the US resorted to various methods, including
using mainstream liberal media outlets, in an attempt to
ensure his entrance into America. They devised a fake
narrative of injustice and depicted this high-ranking Basiji
military agent as an innocent man who should be allowed into
the US. How was this man even able to obtain a US visa?
US border
officials recently deported Mohsen Dehnavi, an Iranian military
agent who is an active and high-ranking member of the Basij
paramilitary. He was previously head of the student branch of the
Basij at Iran's Sharif University (pictured above, photo by Behrooz
Rezvani/Wikimedia Commons).
The continuing persecution, imprisonment, murder and
torture of non-Muslims is now well-documented and visible on a
daily basis. In particular, Christians, Jews, Yazidis, Kurds,
Hindus and Baha'is are victimized under Islamist rule. This issue
requires attention and correction, but it is not the only threat
that is coming from these tyrannical state and non-state actors.
Islamist organizations are dispatching their agents
beyond their borders, to the West, particularly the US, in order to
monitor, threaten, and terrorize non-Muslims.
Recent reports from European refugee camps indicate
that radical agents and spies, including from one of the most
powerful Islamist establishments, Iran's Islamic Revolutionary
Guard Corps (IRGC), have infiltrated Europe, in part to monitor
Christians, particularly those who have fled their nations out of
fear of torture, imprisonment and persecution.

For the past two weeks "Dunkirk" has been
top of the box office in cinemas throughout the United Kingdom. The
film is a fictional rendition of the evacuation of the British
Expeditionary Force from the Dunkirk, in France, in May 1940, as
Hitler's invading divisions blitzed their way towards Paris.
The evacuation involved over 400,000 soldiers,
including many Frenchmen and troops recruited in British Empire and
Commonwealth units such as Canada and Australia.
The greatest retreat in the history of warfare, the
Dunkirk operation prevented the Germans from annihilating the bulk
of the British army, giving London the chance to prepare to fight
another day.
