French Primate Cardinal Barbarin mentioned in his homily Muslims who worship the Virgin Mary. He keeps seeing Muslim families at Virgin Mary statues, putting their newborn in her hands.
Lourdes (kath.net/KNA/red) the Feast of the Assumption was celebrated under tight security at Europe's most important Marian shrine on Monday with thousands of pilgrims. The French Primate, Cardinal Philippe Barbarin, urged the faithful to pray for "France, which is plagued by so much suffering". At the same time he stressed the the need for cohesion and fraternity in the face of terror, especially among religions.
Barbarin said in his sermon that Muslims revere Mary and that he saw Muslim families frequently before Virgin Mary statues (see video below). These families said the Cardinal, put their newborns in the hands of Mary and recommend them to her favor and maternal love. Reportedly the Mass was attended by some 12,000 people.
After the attacks in Nice and Saint-Etienne-du-Rouvray, the ceremony took place under special conditions. According to the manager of the Sanctuary, Thierry Castillo, the access numbers have been reduced to the sacred places. Pilgrims had been searched at specially equipped checkpoints. Moreover, Lourdes was an overflight ban; drones were, according to the prefect of the department of Hautes-Pyrenees, Beatrice Lagarde, not allowed. Police and security teams had significantly increased their staff.
Lourdes is one of the most famous pilgrimage destinations in the world. Mary appeared in the southern French town 14 times in 1858 to the 14-year-old shepherd girl Bernadette Soubirous. In 1862 the apparitions were affirmed by the local bishop, and in 1891 by Pope Leo XIII.. Every year several million pilgrims travel there, including tens of thousands of sick and disabled.
Again and again, unexplained healings have taken place which are examined by an international medical committee.

Maybe a Marian approach with Aquinian integrity will prove a more effective approach to gaining converts from Islam than the current lax self-affirming multi-culti bologna?
Islam is the Nestorian Heresy mixed with elements of Judaism,Catholicism,and Arab paganism.
That's why "Muslims" revere the Blessed Virgin Mary.
