"The limit that was thought to be unbreakable was exceeded yesterday in a small village in northern France, where two Muslims entered a church during Mass and, praising Allah, slit the throats of the priest and a female worshipper after forcing them to kneel and reciting passages from the Koran. [...] Not even the Nazi SS, in their ferocious roundups of Jews and partisans, ever dared to cross the threshold of churches, which were among the safest refuges for their prey. Violating the house of God, cutting the throat of his minister on the altar is the fulfilment, for the first time in modern Europe, of a mad invitation by Muhammad, the bloodthirsty prophet, to all Muslims. [...] What we do not grant them, they take with bombs, machine guns, trucks and knives. They know that we are weak, that democracy prevents us from responding blow for blow with the same effectiveness. We are prisoners of our freedoms, which we have kindly granted them for free."
