(European Conservative) A Catholic priest in southern France was surrounded, insulted, and threatened by a mob of young men shouting “Allahu Akbar” after evening Mass on Saturday, in what he has condemned as a brazen act of anti-Christian intimidation.
The attack took place on the evening of Saturday, May 10th, in Montfavet, near Avignon in Provence. The priest was ambushed. Early in the evening, after celebrating Mass, he was approached by a young man who told him of his desire to convert to Christianity. Behind him stood around ten teenagers or young adults, asking if they could enter the church. “Some claimed to be Muslims and said they just wanted to visit,” said the victim, Father Laurent Milan.
