Hello, Ilya and Daniel

Things have certainly gotten "ugly" in Europe, when one considers the terrorist attacks and rapes against indigenous Europeans by Muslims. This "ugliness" has spread into other realms, though: I am shocked to see today, an attack against Christians celebrating Mass, by FRENCH RIOT POLICE:

Whatever the background of the attack, heavily armed police are seen dragging unresisting Christians out of their church DURING MASS! I have never seen such an indignity against Christians by a Western government before.

I think Daniel is wrong, in thinking that Islam is the major threat to Europe. The movement against Christianity by Europe's secular elite is far more dangerous -- as is its counterpart in America ...
