While Europe refuses to fortify its borders against mass migration, European cities are now forced to put up security barriers, concrete blocks, and even tank traps to prevent Islamic terrorists from driving vehicles into Christmas markets.
Writing for The Spectator magazine (UK), Druin Burch noted recently how the Islamic “terror triumphed at the Christmas market” this festive season. A visitor to “Christmas markets in Berlin, London or Strasbourg” would see them “surrounded by steel posts, truck-proof planters, and one-way systems designed to stop SUVs achieving murderous velocities before hitting crash barriers,” he adds.
The unprecedented security beef-up in Germany’s post-war history comes after an Arab migrant, last year, drove a car into a market in the city of Magdeburg, killing six people and injuring over 300 others. In 2016, a jihadist from North Africa drove a truck into Berlin’s Breitscheidplatz Christmas market, crushing 12 people to death and injuring at least 67.
According to the UK-based Catholic Herald, “Germany’s Christmas markets opened this year under the tightest security seen in peacetime Europe.” Country’s “[f]ederal and regional authorities have instructed cities to reinforce entry points, expand surveillance and increase the presence of armed police and private security staff throughout the Advent season,” the publication added.
The call to “globalize the intifada” (a call to murder Jews), which was repeatedly made in migrant-led demonstrations in cities across Europe this summer, has finally come to bear its evil fruit in Germany, France, and Britain. Days after the deadly attack on a Hanukkah festival in Australia, Polish authorities have foiled an Islamic terror attack on a Christmas market near Warsaw.
“A Polish university student has been arrested on suspicion of planning a bomb attack on a Christmas market in “support” of the Islamic State, a senior security official in Poland has said,” Poland’s TVP reported on Tuesday. The suspect was “found preparing explosives for a terrorist attack” and police “seized data storage devices and items related to Islam,” the public broadcaster added.
Germany, which has been the driving force behind Europe’s open borders policy, remains the most vulnerable country in Europe this Christmas season. Last week, police arrested five men suspected of planning an “Islamist-motivated attack on a Christmas market,” German media reported. “The foiled plot was targeting a Christmas market in the area of Dingolfing in the southern German state of Bavaria,” Germany’s DW TV reported on Saturday. “German authorities are suspecting that the attack plans were based on an Islamist motive and that it would be carried out by car. The suspects include a 56-year-old Egyptian, a 37-year-old Syrian and three Moroccans aged 22, 28 and 30.”
According to the Brussels-based news outlet Eurativ, the German terrorist cell comprised “an Egyptian imam and several Muslim migrants.” The Muslim preacher had been telling his followers “to kill or injure as many people as possible” at the Munich Christmas market, the media outlet added.
While German politicians are busy virtue signalling, the poor shop owners are made to foot the bill for the growing security costs. “As German cities ramp up Christmas market protections after past terror scares, vendors are footing part of the bill,” DW TV reported.
France, with its surging immigrant population, isn’t faring any better. Churches, clergy, and worshipers face violent attacks across the country. In a level of anti-Christian barbarism not seen in centuries, Christian symbols and houses of worship are pillaged and desecrated.
The rising violence drove some French lawmakers to call upon the French state to protect the nation’s Christians and churches. The Catholic News Agency reported October 2025:
In an unprecedented initiative, 86 French senators have signed a public appeal denouncing the alarming rise of anti-Christian acts in France and urging the government to take concrete measures to protect believers and places of worship. (…)According to data cited in the text, 322 anti-Christian acts were recorded in the first five months of 2025 alone — a 13% increase from the same period in 2024. The theft of liturgical objects has also surged by more than 20% in two years, with 820 cases reported in 2024 compared with 633 in 2022The appeal briefly cites a few emblematic incidents to illustrate this alarming trend. In the Landes region, at least 27 churches have been vandalized or desecrated in a matter of weeks, while in Nice, the defilement of a cross on Boulevard de la Madeleine has shocked the local population.
