Islamic pressure in Paris forces evangelical congregation to vacate building (OneNewsNow.com)

The French might have finally taken a step towards freeing themselves from dhimmitude, but this is evidence that the previous liberal administration has really ruined the country. I hope it gets fixed soon!

Islamic pressure in Paris forces evangelical congregation to vacate building (OneNewsNow.com): "After a long struggle against Islamic intimidation, an evangelical church in the outskirts of Paris has been forced to vacate the 1,000-square-foot facility where it had been meeting.

The Temple de Paris Church has been located in the Paris suburb of Bagnolet. Christine Thabot, the wife of the pastor, says Muslims have been trying to get rid of them since 2005, but local authorities had permitted the church to remain in the facility, paying 8,000 euros a month (~ $9,400 U.S.) in rent.

According to Thabot, the Muslims changed their strategy. 'They attacked our owner this time,' she explains. 'They took up the case and [told him he was] not allowed to have this church open -- and on Friday we [were told] that we had to get out of our premises.'

Thabot says Temple de Paris Church has been unable to secure another worship center. 'For an evangelical or Protestant church, it is almost next to impossible to buy or to rent any premises,' she says. 'As soon as they find out you are a church, there is nothing open to us.'

Thabot says many churches in the area have been closed and have had similar difficulties in securing new facilities. But she claims Muslims can secure property for building a mosque simply by paying one euro to the authorities."
