Germany: Muslim enters church during service, throws himself on the ground while screaming about Allah

“‘Allah’ call in the St. Antonius Church in Düsseldorf,” by Ferdinand Knauss, Tichys Einblick, February 7, 2022:

A man, apparently a Muslim, breaks into a Düsseldorf church during a mass and disrupts the service with a loud call to Allah. The criminal offense of “disturbing the practice of religion” does not seem to be taken very seriously by the police.

During this Sunday evening mass in St. Antonius in the well-to-do Düsseldorf-Oberkassel, the situation of the Catholic Church in Germany became urgent. When Monsignor Wilhelm Terboven says mass, the churchgoers get something to hear. The pastor – who has been (un)retired for years – is known for his open words in sermons and lectures.

In the synodal path, the monsignor said in his welcoming remarks, the actually central questions of religion, namely those about faith and God, played no role. They are pushed to the sidelines. And he is very concerned that faith will continue to be lost if Sunday is lost as a special day. “Dear people of God,” Terboven addresses the approximately 50 worshipers. He had previously reported that a woman had complained to him that he was talking about the people of God. Listening to Terboven, it becomes clear what the Christian churches are really lacking, what they should actually be there for.

The door of the neo-Romanesque church rumbles several times. And then suddenly, during a song, a man with an object in his fist – only later do I recognize it as a beverage can – comes behind us down the aisle to the front. It is frightening. While the congregation is still singing (or rather, listening to the organist), he sits down in the front row right in front of the singing Monsignor Terboven and says something. Now the organ falls silent. The intruder throws himself on the ground in front of the altar and shouts something, I only understand “Allah…”, several worshipers who were closer later confirmed this to me.

Monsignor Teboven says calmly: “You are disturbing our service. You are welcome to sit here, but you must be quiet,” and begins to recite the creed, the congregation joins in. Meanwhile, a burly, determined-looking man and then two others run towards the intruder. There is no discernible violence. But the determined parishioners make it clear to the intruder that he has to go, escorting him out through the aisle.

Imagine the uproar from the press if someone ran into a mosque shouting Jesus Christ is God!
