Germany’s police force recorded nearly 100 attacks on Christians or on facilities for Christian use in 2017 — with the most violent incidents stemming from asylum seekers living in homes for the refugee.
These are hate crimes by German law.
And police and government officials are reportedly shocked at the numbers. But really, why should they>

The acts of violence have been going on for some time. This video is from 2016:

DW.com has more on the latest:
German conservative politicians have expressed shock after figures leaked by the Federal Criminal Police Office (BKA) revealed 97 anti-Christian hate crimes in the country last year.
The figure was published by the Funke media group several months before the German security forces are due to release official annual crime statistics. A BKA spokeswoman told DW that the figures were still preliminary and could be subject to addition or alteration, and only covered the period up to the end of November.
According to the reports, a quarter of the 97 cases comprised attacks on churches and Christian symbols, and there were 14 cases of violent “anti-Christian crimes” among asylum seekers or refugees. That number includes the murder of a Christian convert by a fellow refugee in Prien, Bavaria. There were also nine cases of bodily harm.
Bavarian Interior Minister Joachim Herrmann, of the conservative Christian Social Union (CSU) party which governs that state, told the Funke group that integration in Germany required absolute tolerance of Christian values. “Anyone who wants to live here must distance themselves from any anti-Christian disposition,” he said. “Otherwise, they are simply not welcome.”
Ansgar Heveling, interior policy spokesman for the parliamentary party of Angela Merkel’s Christian Democratic Union (CDU), called the figure “alarming,” and said the problem needed to be dealt with in the same way that “anti-Semitic attacks are rightly being dealt with at the moment.”After welcoming the fact that the figures were being collected to provide “clarity” on the issue, Heveling also said that Christian institutions needed better protection. “I see a particular responsibility for our state here,” he said. “These attacks need to be punished toughly and consistently.”
This is the first time that the BKA has collected specific figures for anti-Christian crimes in Germany. The only comparable statistic comes from Open Doors, an NGO that tracks the persecution of Christians worldwide, which recorded 743 cases of anti-Christian attacks in German refugee homes over eight months in 2016 — a much higher figure, though in that year several hundred thousand refugees came to Germany from Syria and Iraq, were forced to live in close quarters in mass shelters, and were rarely separated by religion.
Some press reports have expressed doubt that all of the incidents were religiously motivated. In the murder case in Prien, for instance, in which an Afghan asylum seeker stabbed an Afghan woman to death in a supermarket car park, the perpetrator denies he did so because she had converted to Christianity. The 30-year-old man, who had spent time in psychiatric care, said he acted out of frustration at his imminent deportation.
But Open Doors Germany press officer Ado Greve was convinced that the incidents the organization reported were religiously-motivated.
“The victims told us that the attackers would say things like, ‘I’ll cut off your head, you non-believer,’ ‘You’re contaminating the kitchen,” or “You’re defiling the fridge.’ In other words, the perpetrators said themselves why they were doing it,” he told DW.
“Of course the refugee shelters are much smaller now, as we have fewer refugees coming to Germany, so the tensions are much lower,” he added. “It’s a good development that the authorities are seeing that there is sometimes a religious motivation, and that it is specifically registered. If you know there is this religious motivation behind an assault or attack, then you can do something about it — maybe better education about values of tolerance.”
The new figures also show that Islamophobic attacks remain much more widespread in Germany. The government revealed last year that there were around 200 recorded Islamophobic crimes in both the first and second quarter of 2017, mostly committed by far-right extremists.
These figures included what Germans call “propaganda crimes” — Islamophobic graffiti or verbal anti-religious insults.
Anti-Christian crime has been the subject of more political attention in the past year. Interior Minister Thomas de Maiziere announced last year that the security forces would begin collecting the relevant data.
For Greve, the move was more than necessary. “Many Christian refugees repeatedly asked for separate accommodation, after there was more and more violence against them from Muslim refugees,” he said. “But the authorities and government did not react.”

Why were the German conservative politicians so shocked? We have been telling what was going to happen for years now. That reminds me a discussion with one of my friends:
My friend: “I did not know it was going to happen!”.
I: “But I told you!”.
My friend: “I did not believe you!”.

Agree. Muslims are united in their goal of occupation , domination , terrorising and subjugation and practice Islamic Art Of Occupation & Ethnic Cleansing Without Killing http://bit.ly/2y1iju8
while infidels are clueless and disunited. Unite,fund, support conservative , patriotic bloggers, youtube channels etc and share the info to inform, Organise and resist . Or you’ll end up in a Islamic hellhole

Being in denial serves AT LEAST two purposes:
1. It helps erase Christianity with is the bedrock of WESTERN culture.
2. Keeps OPEN BORDERS and more MASS IMMIGRATION of Muslims.

That Islam and Muslims want to “erase” (eradicate) Christianity, and all other religions and political systems, is a verifiable fact.
That Christianity is “the bedrock of WESTERN culture” isn’t; whatever good, reasonable things are said/written in the Bible could have been said/written by anyone before the Bible was created and even if it never had been.
How ridiculous is it to fight one system of beliefs (Islam) based on treating lies as truth, myths as reality and using imaginary rewards and punishments to control and enslave people with another version (Christianity) of the same thing?
When you’re fighting against another religion, you’re just fighting to prove who has the better imaginary god.
“When we’re talking about Odin and Thor, everyone knows we’re talking about Norse mythology.
But when we start talking about God and Allah, suddenly we’re talking about religion and reason and requirements for proof and evidence are no longer relevant.
That’s like saying I know that Superman and Batman are fictional characters………
but I have a special, personal relationship with…SPIDERMAN!”

Clear Sky: What you wrote about your friend’s unwillingness to believe what you had told them highlights an important fact. The Muslims and Islam have an automatic camouflage; it consists of the fact that the truth about their religion is so horrible that most people refuse to believe that such horrors could exist.
J.Edgar Hoover put it best in his description of the communist infiltration of our government that took place at the end of, and immediately after, WW II and Americans’ inability to deal with it:
“The individual is handicapped by coming face to face with a conspiracy so monstrous he cannot believe it exists. The American mind simply has not come to a realization of the evil which has been introduced into our midst.”

germans do not care in the slightest for Christianity, even the Christian clergy grovel before islam. The left over architecture of a previous time when Christianity was relevant to germany, will serve the purpose as mosques, all they have to do is attract tourists. There are many more muslim tourists than Christian ones in germany.

The Muslims in Germany today, like all the Muslims who have entered all of the other non-Muslim countries in Europe, are not “tourists” but invaders…grown, Muslim, military age men masquerading as children, “migrants”, “refugees”, and “asylum seekers.

The situation described here is similar to the one in UK in so far as the state authorities point blank refuse to recognise the routine hatred Muslims feel for Christians and Jews, especially when both are refugees.
When states are as secular as Germany and the UK, the only people bound to gain from official indifference to matters concerning religious beliefs will be muslims, why, because they will be the only ones using violence to bully and intimidate all others into conforming to sharia.
The sheer insanity and political irresponsibility shown by Britain and Germany in introducing the social conflicts of tomorrow today based on a religion such as Islam will be remembered long after the guilty are removed.
Whether by the ballot or the bullet remains to be seen.

It IS NOT only Germany and the UK
– My country of ‘Amerika’ has been this same self-destructive path for many years – as have all of the other ‘Western – Civilized countries’ – which has also been occurring in all of the rest of the ‘non-Mohammedan’ countries all around this world
– But – For those of us who truly are ‘Biblical CHRISTians’ it is no surprise whatsoever – for it was written some 3,000 years ago in “the word of the Lord”
– That which is happening more and ever-more is written about in Psalm 12:8 [AV] :

Atheists, people who live their lives based on the use reason and logic and respect for reality, are in no way likely at all to submit to any religion, least of all to Islam.
Nor are true atheists necessarily connected with or part of the left.
Atheism does submit to mindless tyranny; it fights against it.

Atheism is cowardliness personified when dealing with muslims. The european union is socialist, comprised of nations where all religion except islam is held in complete distain. Atheism leaves man to his animal instincts where nothing is of any value except personal gain, Atheists find monarchies or other despotic forms of government convenient for them to enforce their phoney intellectual dominance of those who they consider less than them.

Interesting that anti-Christian crime happens in Germany. In the UK, France or Sweden only anti-Muslim hate crimes happen, never any anti-Christian crime. I smell a rat here.

For the sake of reason and reality, don’t bring talk of imaginary beings like God and the Devil into conversation about something as real and dangerous as Islam, Muslims, and their hatred of all other religions.
In fighting Islam, we need to have both of our feet planted firmly in reality, not one in reality and the other in Disneyland.

Atheists are part of the problem, not the solution. The destruction that atheists have caused and continue to cause to most religions is not repeated in their cowardly response to islam. Just leave, go to your world of animal like instincts, stay out of the way, you are a liability to all progress.

What is out is sane, productive, creative, patriotic members of the white race.
What is in is primitive, worthless, third world savages who follow a belief system based on 7th century theology who want to destroy civilization for the sake of an extremely evil mythical god and his equally mythical “prophet”.

Lots of people have been laughing and mocking Christians who read their Bible and warning people about the NWO and about One World Religion that will be promoted by the False Prophet and the Anti-Messiah. Politically this has to be done with multiculturalism, and all the ideas that all religions basically worship the same God in different way of worship, so people have to co-exist and all the tensions in relate to religious tensions should be thrown under the bus. And with the rise of western people distrust of their corrupt abf filthy politics, and low birth rate, and very critical native citizens, governments beed to suppress them by bringing in huge numbers of immigrants, who will playing their trump card for suppressing the “too noisy citizens”, will provide them voices they need to bring forth their plans, and then when all the plans are achieved, when the citizens are fully under they control, they will turn to exterminate these muslim migrants, indeed they are all just thay for governments, a game to play and when their services are no longer needed, they will have to go. Doesn’t matter their numbers, united Europe indeed capable to wipe them all out in short time. Remember Communists in Soviet, so attractive until they began to systematically kill millions of souls. Hitlet was using German people to do his evil plan to wipe out Jews, in short time. Now the sophisticated and technologically advanced government of United Europe could do the same, but this time it was muslims migrants to be set against their own fellow native people of Europe. They did not want to extermintate the natives, they only want to do what Communists did, have them all under control, force them to be in conformity and submission to their rule or being replaced by muslims who are despite their savagery nature could not live and survive Euroe without beung spoon-fed by governments. This is all so apparent for non Europeans, sadly…..the poison of far letf ideology has succeed in breaking things down let them in total confusion and uncertainty and fear. So we pray for all Christians, Jews and everyone there who are now being oppressed, may their eyes are opened and they have that strength to endure and resist the evil. May God be with them and protect them from being snatched into the evil camps. Amen.
