Jihad on churches in France – Analysis

No Western nation seems to experience as many attacks on its churches as France, once known as the "Eldest Daughter of the Church"

Newsroom November 24 12:31

 

Christian churches are under attack throughout Western Europe, with very recent examples from Austria, Germany, Italy and Sweden.

No Western nation, however, seems to experience as many attacks on its churches as France, once known as the “Eldest Daughter of the Church.”
