An interesting article. Apparently Muslims worshipers are permitted to break the law without retribution by blocking the streets during prayer times — something Parisians of other faiths would be stopped from doing.

PARIS – Friday in Paris. A hidden camera shows streets blocked by huge crowds of Muslim worshippers and enforced by a private security force.

This is all illegal in France: the public worship, the blocked streets, and the private security. But the police have been ordered not to intervene.

One French citizen, using a pseudonym thanks to death threats, has been secretly documenting the Islamization of his city. He uses a hidden camera to post videos to his YouTube channel.

His camera shows that Muslims “are blocking the streets with barriers. They are praying on the ground. And the inhabitants of this district cannot leave their homes, nor go into their homes during those prayers.”

“The Muslims taking over those streets do not have any authorization. They do not go to the police headquarters, so it’s completely illegal,” he says.

The Muslims in the street have been granted unofficial rights that no Christian group is likely to get under France’s Laicite’, or secularism law.

You have the right to practice your religion freely, of course, but that doesn’t mean you can block public roads and stop people from entering their homes. Yet Muslim worshipers are permitted to do just that because the Parisian officials are too afraid of being labeled “Islamaphobic” if they intervene.

Maxime Lepante (the videographer) says he even witnesses worshipers drive to the location to pray, rather than staying in their own areas of Paris and praying at the local mosque. The purpose? To show the strength of their numbers.

“They are coming there to show that they can take over some French streets to show that they can conquer a part of the French territory,” he said.

None of this should surprise individuals who have been witnessing the Islamization of Europe over the past few years. Muslim birthrates are higher than native European birthrates, and governments kowtow to Islam in the name of appeasing the growing numbers of Muslim residents. Mark Steyn’s America Alone was written four years ago already.

Europe is facing the following choice: Maintain your culture and its respect for individual rights and secular government, or surrender to the Islamization movement. Once the latter occurs you can’t go back. There’s no second chance here.
