France: Statue of Virgin Mary Decapitated

41

Sadly, this is a common occurrence. The media’s reaction to the rare occurrence of a mosque being vandalized is one of horror, shock and outrage, with the perpetrators being swiftly caught, while attacks on Christian sites are largely ignored until something monumental and monstrous happens — like Notre Dome — and then the media goes into overdrive to frame the story devoid of facts.

France: Statue of Virgin Mary Decapitated

Nearly 900 churches in France targeted in 2018 alone.

By Paul Watson, Summit News, 18 April, 2019:

A statue of the Virgin Mary was decapitated in a small French village yesterday, the latest in a deluge of anti-Christian attacks in France which numbered almost 900 in 2018 alone.

The statue, located in the commune of Marlhes, was beheaded despite being made of cast iron with metal reinforcements.

According to a report by LeProgres, the vandals “had to be well equipped” to cause the damage. It had already been damaged last year as a result of a fire.

The local resident’s association has vowed to repair or replace the statue. The perpetrators have not been caught.

The incident occurred just 48 hours after the tragic fire at the Notre Dame cathedral in Paris.

As French journalist Maxime Lepante pointed out, while the reaction in the media to mosques being vandalized is one of horror, with the perpetrators being swiftly caught, attacks on Christian sites are met with far less concern.

“Two churches were vandalized per day,” said Lepante, adding, “This government, this regime….including the Pope, including the cardinals, shut their mouth, say nothing when our churches are being vandalized, and in contrast, the minute there is a mosque that has a pot of pork sausage in front of it, there’s immediately arrest and prison for the person who did it….apologies from the whole of France, the stigmatization of racism and so on, it’s an absolutely unbearable double standard!”

There were 1062 anti-Christian acts in 2018 in France, compared to just 100 anti-Muslim acts. Throughout 2018, no less than 875 churches in France were targeted.

Um, none of the acts of vandalism carried out against churches were convincingly linked to ANTIFA except by Stormfront, which seems to be taking the role of running interference for f’ing muslums.

Hussars2018 You aren’t too bright, are you? ONE OF THREE Jihadist
women allegedly involved in a foiled plot in 2016 to blow up a car
packed with gas canisters near the Notre Dame cathedral in Paris was
sentenced (2 days before this fire!!!!) to eight years in prison by a
French court!!
And…. another trial for trying to set fire to the car filled with six
gas cylinders near Notre Dame will begin on 23 September.*

How hideous!
You should have listened to Pope Benedict XVI before he suddenly had to retire due to “health issues.”
He was telling the truth about Islam!

The Vatican Submits to Islam (2006-2016)
by Giulio Meotti
October 16, 2016 at 5:30 am

Pope Benedict clarified the internal contradictions of contemporary Islam, but he also offered a terrain of dialogue with Christianity and Western culture. The Pope spoke of the Jewish, Greek and Christian roots of Europe’s faith, explaining why these are different from Islamic monotheism. His talk contained a quote from the Byzantine emperor, Manuel II Paleologus: “Show me just what Mohammed brought that was new, and there you will find things only evil and inhuman”.

This keg of dynamite was softened by a quotation from a Koranic sura of Mohammed’s youth, Benedict noted, “when Mohammed was still powerless and under threat”, and which says:
“There is no compulsion in religion.”

Pope Benedict’s talk was not a surprise. “It is no secret that the Pope worried about Islam”,
Christopher Caldwell noted in the Financial Times.

“He has doubted publicly that it can be accommodated in a pluralistic society. He has demoted one of John Paul II’s leading advisers on the Islamic world and tempered his support for a programme of inter-religious dialogue run by Franciscan monks at Assisi. He has embraced the view of Italian moderates and conservatives that the guiding principle of inter-religious dialogue must be reciprocità. That is, he finds it naive to permit the building of a Saudi-funded mosque, Europe’s largest, in Rome, while Muslim countries forbid the construction of churches and missions”.

In Regensburg, Benedict staged the drama of our time and for the first time in the Catholic Church’s history — a Pope talked about Islam without recycling platitudes. In that lecture, the Pope did what in the Islamic world is forbidden: freely discussing faith. He said that God is different from Allah. We never heard that again.

The quotation of Manuel II Palaeologus bounced around the world, shaking the Muslim umma [community], which reacted violently. Even the international press was unanimous in a chorus of condemnation of the
“Pope’s aggression on Islam.”

The reaction to Pope’s speech proved that he was right. From Muslim leaders to the New York Times, everybody demanded the Pope’s apologies and submission. The mainstream media turned him into an incendiary proponent of Samuel Huntington’s “clash of civilizations.” In the Palestinian Authority area, Christian churches were burned and Christians targeted. British Islamists called to “kill” the Pope, but Benedict defied them.

Security around Pope Benedict was soon massively increased. Two years later, the Pope had been barred from speaking at Rome’s most important university, La Sapienza. After the Regensburg affair, Benedict would not be the same anymore. Islamists and Western appeasers had been able to close his mouth.

A few days after the lecture, exhausted and frightened, Pope Benedict apologized. I am deeply sorry for the reactions in some countries to a few passages of my address … which were considered offensive to the sensibility of Muslims,” the Pope told pilgrims at his Castelgandolfo summer residence. The quote did not
“in any way express my personal thoughts. I hope this serves to appease hearts.”

The Pope may have said that to stop further violence. But since then, apologies to the Islamic world have become the official Vatican policy.

In 2006, Pope Benedict XVI (left) said what no Pope had ever dared to say — that there is a link between violence and Islam. Ten years later, Pope Francis (right) never calls those responsible for anti-Christian violence by name and never mentions the word “Islam.” (Image source: Benedict: Flickr/Catholic Church of England | Francis: Wikimedia Commons/korea.net)comment image

Macron wants the world to believe electrical short circuit caused the massive fire at Notre Dame. I guess French electricians must be some of the worst in the world. Let’s hope the electrical industry in France challenges this rush to judgment. Electrical short circuits must also decapitate statues who knew? PS Macron has lots of money to hire thousands of police officers that enjoy shooting people’s eyeballs out but not so many cops who know how to defend France’s most important cultural monument.

I wonder if the police will ever figure out a motive, especially when they start out with the assumption that islum had nothing to do with it.

That must have taken a lot of work to decapitate a statue — unless they had power tools and what religion has a fondness for decapitations?

I learned that all the churches in france were seized by the government in 1905 and i am supposing that they are maintained by taxpayers of all faiths or maybe they charge the church members rent. it is a small step to controlling what the masses contain.

Wherever Islamism has move to, there will be extreme hate towards Christians and their religious symbols. Islamism is the religion of SATAN, Christianity the religion of our LORD JESUS CHRIST !
