Muslim Disrupts Easter Mass

Country: France

Date of incident: April 20, 2014


In the region of Jura, France, during a celebration of Easter Mass in the community of Notre Dame de Dole, a Muslim entered, and, putting his carpet next to the altar, began to read parts of the Coran and then proceeded to write in Arab in the parish registry. The same man had already disturbed the Palm Sunday liturgy in two different places, so the police had been warned, and when they showed up on the scene on Easter they calmly asked the man to leave.

This is the third time the man has disrupted a mass without being arrested and the sub-prefect is said to have stated that it was the result of a man “visibly disturbed” which the newspapers echoed, presumingly downplaying the seriousness of the event. 
Translations of the writing in the registry revealed that it was a quotation of Sura 112 of the Coran, which essentially affirms the unique divinity of Allah.  This happened on a day when Catholics celebrate the divinity of Jesus Christ.
