Refuting The Burning of Notre Dame and the Destruction of Christian Europe

I have merged the lies by the right-wing website Infowars with two articles, The Burning of Notre Dame and the Destruction of Christian Europe,  and European Churches: Vandalized, Defecated On, and Torched “Every Day”, to write this piece.

Desecration & Hatred While France Looks for Scapegoat 

This ‘suspicious’ man is a French firefighter, the commander of the relief operations, wearing a yellow safety vest and helmet:

The same scene with the firefighter is visible from 42nd minutes of this video after the fire already started.

This exposes Knights lie that the scene was filmed before the fire started.

875 French Churches Burned in 2018

The map is off the Observatory of Christianophobia (l’Observatoire de la christianophobie) website which lists various anti-Christian acts around the world between 2016-2021.

It counted 26 fires or fire attempts that took place in or near churches in France in 2018. In two cases, it was most likely accidental.

These figures include acts of very different types and seriousness, and also includes attacks on Christian cemeteries. Here is one incident:

According to Les Dernières Nouvelles d’Alsace, the five teenagers were three girls and two boys, aged 12 to 15. They were the subject of a penal remedy that was fixed by the prosecution.

In the following article, Gatestone Institute wants their viewers to believe that Muslims are behind all the “attacks” on Christian places of worship, and that is why the media obfuscate the identity of the vandals.

One of the reasons why the identity of the attackers is not mentioned is simply because it has nothing to do with attacks on Christianity by Muslims or Migrants. A dubious source often invents the identity of the attackers:

The highlighted word ‘vandalized‘ directs you to the French source of the attack, which doesn’t mention ‘refugee’, ‘Muslim’ or ‘Pakistani’, as French police did not know who the attacker/s were. 

The French media has been quite vocal about these “attacks” taking place, which you can read about  here, and here.

Christians still represent the majority according to a study conducted by Ifop for the Institut Montaigne:

The French article cited by Gatestone Institute on Islam being the dominate religion is taken out of context. Here is the translation of the study:
