For four days and three nights, the Bible is read, discussed, prayed. A peaceful demonstration - I attended a part of this gathering here three or four years - is public and free. On September 30, the site of the event stated that the organizers had not received permission from the police headquarters for the rally scheduled for October 4 to 7. I received yesterday a comment on this blog, the following information and I thank reader: While the authorities are closing streets to traffic in some neighborhoods on Friday, so that Muslims can pray, know that the authorities of the city of Paris recently denied permission to read the Bible in public on the Place de la Bastille. As was done for several years, once a year, under the title of "Marathon of the Bible." Still an affront to freedom of expression [and especially religious freedom. DH]. Mind the biblical message as it stirs the conscience" Today, the evangelical Protestants are denied a permit. Tomorrow, -- can Catholics procession in the streets of Paris for the Corpus Christi or the Assumption? DH From the comments on the site: I do not know, but it seems to me clear that the state has finally chosen Islam as the state religion and completely reject Christianity in the country.

Definitely marked change. What is surprising is that the other place was not allowed even though it is an eccentrical public garden ... It must be possible to make requests without [fear of] arrest and undeterred, with a reasoned response given in case of refusal. French authorities the right and left have decided to be biased, they chose Islam against Christianity. No wonder a closer look, they are often converted to Islam and one spouse (e) Muslim (e). They are traitors to our culture, it is high time that we change this political class syphilitic. What is instructive is to see the very long-term strategy and slogans successive secularist Republicans [in the French sense], who are simply enemies of Christ. In 1789, they destroyed the Christian society and the divine right of kings but touting the nation and the homeland. Since then the nation is hated, and Homeland diluted for pleasure and profit ... Also (as was clearly demonstrated FG Dreyfus) the Third Republic (J. Ferry F. Buisson) relied on liberal Protestantism which it flattered to counter Catholicism. And now it is the turn of the Protestants become a target ... [more at source]
