European Churches: Vandalized, Defecated On, and Torched “Every Day”
- In Germany, four separate churches were vandalized and/or torched in March alone. “In this country,” PI-News, a German news site, explained, “there is a creeping war against everything that symbolizes Christianity: attacks on mountain-summit crosses, on sacred statues by the wayside, on churches… and recently also on cemeteries.”
- In virtually every instance of church attacks, authorities and media obfuscate the identity of the vandals. In those rare instances when the Muslim (or “migrant”) identity of the destroyers is leaked, the desecraters are then presented as suffering from mental health issues.
- “Hardly anyone writes and speaks about the increasing attacks on Christian symbols. There is an eloquent silence in both France and Germany about the scandal of the desecrations and the origin of the perpetrators…. Not a word, not even the slightest hint that could in anyway lead to the suspicion of migrants… It is not the perpetrators who are in danger of being ostracized, but those who dare to associate the desecration of Christian symbols with immigrant imports. They are accused of hatred, hate speech and racism.” — PI News, March 24, 2019
In February, vandals desecrated and smashed crosses and statues at Saint-Alain Cathedral in Lavaur, France, and mangled the arms of a statue of a crucified Christ in a mocking manner. In addition, an altar cloth was burned. (Image source: Eutrope/Wikimedia Commons) Countless churches throughout Western Europe are being vandalized, defecated on, and torched.
Story continues below advertisementIn France, two churches are desecrated every day on average. According to PI-News, a German news site, 1,063 attacks on Christian churches or symbols (crucifixes, icons, statues) were registered in France in 2018. This represents a 17% increase compared to the previous year (2017), when 878 attacks were registered — meaning that such attacks are only going from bad to worse.
Among some of the recent desecrations in France, the following took place in just February and March:
- Vandals plundered Notre-Dame des Enfants Church in Nîmes and used human excrement to draw a cross there; consecrated bread was found thrown outside among garbage.
- The Saint-Nicolas Church in Houilles was vandalized on three separate occasions in February; a 19th century statue of the Virgin Mary, regarded as “irreparable,” was “completely pulverized,” said a clergyman; and a hanging cross was thrown to the floor.
- Vandals desecrated and smashed crosses and statues at Saint-Alain Cathedral in Lavaur, and mangled the arms of a statue of a crucified Christ in a mocking manner. In addition, an altar cloth was burned.
- Arsonists torched the Church of St. Sulpice in Paris soon after midday mass on Sunday, March 17.
Similar reports are coming out of Germany. Four separate churches were vandalized and/or torched in March alone. “In this country,” PI-News explained, “there is a creeping war against everything that symbolizes Christianity: attacks on mountain-summit crosses, on sacred statues by the wayside, on churches… and recently also on cemeteries.”
Who is primarily behind these ongoing and increasing attacks on churches in Europe? The same German report offers a hint: “Crosses are broken, altars smashed, Bibles set on fire, baptismal fonts overturned, and the church doors smeared with Islamic expressions like ‘Allahu Akbar.'”
Another German report from November 11, 2017 noted that in the Alps and Bavaria alone, around 200 churches were attacked and many crosses broken: “Police are currently dealing with church desecrations again and again. The perpetrators are often youthful rioters with a migration background.” Elsewhere they are described as “young Islamists.”
Sometimes, sadly, in European regions with large Muslim populations, there seems to be a concomitant rise in attacks on churches and Christian symbols. Before Christmas 2016, in the North Rhine-Westphalia region of Germany, where more than a million Muslims reside, some 50 public Christian statues (including those of Jesus) were beheaded and crucifixes broken.
In 2016, following the arrival in Germany of another million mostly Muslim migrants, a local newspaper reported that in the town of Dülmen, “‘not a day goes by’ without attacks on religious statues in the town of less than 50,000 people, and the immediate surrounding area.”
In France it also seems that where the number of Muslim migrants increases, so do attacks on churches. A January 2017 study revealed that, “Islamist extremist attacks on Christians” in France rose by 38 percent, going from 273 attacks in 2015 to 376 in 2016; the majority occurred during Christmas season and “many of the attacks took place in churches and other places of worship.”
As a typical example, in 2014, a Muslim man committed “major acts of vandalism” inside a historic Catholic church in Thonon-les-Bains. According to a report (with pictures) he “overturned and broke two altars, the candelabras and lecterns, destroyed statues, tore down a tabernacle, twisted a massive bronze cross, smashed in a sacristy door and even broke some stained-glass windows.” He also “trampled on” the Eucharist.
For similar examples in other European countries, please see here, here, here, here, and here.
In virtually every instance of church attacks, authorities and media obfuscate the identity of the vandals. In those rare instances when the Muslim (or “migrant”) identity of the destroyers is leaked, the perpetrators are then presented as suffering from mental health issues. As the recent PI-News report says:
“Hardly anyone writes and speaks about the increasing attacks on Christian symbols. There is an eloquent silence in both France and Germany about the scandal of the desecrations and the origin of the perpetrators…. Not a word, not even the slightest hint that could in anyway lead to the suspicion of migrants… It is not the perpetrators who are in danger of being ostracized, but those who dare to associate the desecration of Christian symbols with immigrant imports. They are accused of hatred, hate speech and racism.”

Blame the Jews, the ageless scapegoat. The spineless governments, the Progressive-Fascists and their Muslim Jihad appendage do not give a damn. After all, Muslims are the happiest people on earth, a religion of peace, while Christiaand especially Jews are Hate-Mongers and War-Mongers. Those of the leftist-fascist, Muslim persuasion inhabiting this afflicted planet, by-and-large, dwell in a separate time-zone.
In the end, the decent peoples will become enslaved by evil, universal influence of the Globalists, the Leftist-Fascists; however, it is Islam that will or may eradicate the desires of Globalist Totalitarianism. Moreover, it will become a choice of whether we suffer under a totalitarian, autocratic rule or a Theocratic rule by the scourge, the Cult, Islam.
There is Another (Yoda, Star Wars episode?). Remember those times, they seem so far away in light of today’s events. What a different, fast changing world we live in now. So fast and so radical are the changes, it is hard to achieve, let alone hold, a “perspective”.
Were there no God, no Christ, then the future would hold only the hopelessness of either of those two scenarios. As hard as it may be to accept, and I don’t say that lightly, the course of events so far, is in perfect keeping with the word of God.
Hold on tight, it will get bumpy, but never ever forget, “Take heart and fear not, for I have overcome the world” (John 16:33). Hallelujah!!!
Well stated, James; nothing to add but you are bang on.
Letting muslims into your countries is like letting wild lion in to babysit your children!!!! Can’t fix STUPID with ignorant libturds!!!!
Exactly.
Who or what is allowing these pig looking and feeling Islam loyalists into europe and sending them all I’ve the world ??? What good are they they love Islam and won’t conform to any other lifestyle rape of kids even their own kind,drugs, lies, pretending to be someone else or another national for sure 100% they will take a Whitey and use them as a Muslim poster for islam manipulating them suckers
The global elites don’t want a Christian western civilization. Their goal is communism. That is why they are letting Muslims in. For the moment Islam and Communists have a common goal – eliminate Christianity in any form and Jews. Being white is associated with Christianity. Muslims believe that even if you are a white atheist, you still have to be eliminated because someone in your family tree had to have been a Christian. I doesn’t matter if you are not one. Muslims have bought into identity religion as well as identity politics.
Christians still dominate worldwide over Islam.. Unfortunately many churches have failed to teach Christianity. They often teach humanism – big difference! Humanists are easily fooled into welcoming the killers because it fits it with humanistic teachings. This is dangerous for Jews because Bible based Christians in the U.S. have stood up for Jews. As Christianity declines in the U.S. so will support decline for Jews that see what is going on.
It is a complicated issue but you are absolutely correct that an agenda set by an elitist group and disseminated by an equally elitist EU/UN has targeted Western, Christian civilization. They certainly use Nazi and Communist tactics of subversion, but I think the ones pulling all the strings are actually Luciferians.
I have contended all along that the utter sweep of evil across once Christian lands could not have been possible unless God removed his blessings from those lands ; very much like He describes in Deuteronomy 28:15 – …, verses 48-52 are particularly poignant to the West today. With God absent on a nation level, those nations stand no chance of winning against evil.
As you rightly point out, Christianity has been in decline due to a multitude of failures from the clergy on down. In most of the West, and particularly in Canada, the decline has reached apostasy levels, and calls for repentance have gone unheeded. Hence we see social and cultural blindness that seems to defy explanation were it not that the Bible tells us that He will give them over to delusion and a reprobate mind.
All this and so much more, has not come to the forefront to just suddenly retreat. The convergence of world events and Biblical end time prophecy is the equivalence of God writing on the wall, “Prepare ye for Judgement”.
The bridegroom cometh, and may it be so.
Agree
And Finally Vatican Bishop confesses: “Senior Catholic officials are being paid off by George Sor-ass to promote mass Muslim migration into Europe” https://tinyurl.com/y7hllebo
You won’t hear it from corrupt Left/Liberal media
you left out few. ask the folks in east timor what they think of muslims, or the christians in sudan or nigeria. 1400 years of history is more than enough to demonstrate beyond any argument that muslims can co-exist with anyone. they are truly a cancer
The muslims make up around 9% of the population of France.
In germany the muslims make up around 6% of the population.
When the muslims make up 10% or 15% of the population of these countries there will be no churches left to burn down or desecrate.
Didn’t the EU invasion start in 2015?
Already look at the percentages they have. More are “welcomed”.
In less then FIVE years look at the progress they have made.
I use your percentages:
France 9%
Germany 6%
They keep coming and chain migration brings even more at a rapid rate. I think it will be less than 10 years for a take over of countries accepting this filth.
to speed things up more – Sweden wants to take in those poor persecuted Uyhgur Muslims in China. The Swedish police are resigning in droves. They admit they can’t control their borders. Sweden has no-go zones all over the place. They were having a temporary moratorium till then learned about the Uyhgur Muslims in China. GASP! Even the Pope understood they had to back off more immigration – it was that bad.
Sweden is a small country with a population of a little over 10 million. Sweden is inviting over 11 million Uyhgur Muslims from China! If that happens it is the end for Sweden. Plus with open borders, they will finish off the rest of Europe. The UK had better watch out because benefits are generous and they will want to live there too!
I am not making this up.
I’d rather be viewed as a pathological liar than have this happen to people over there.
I’m sure there are some people that don’t want this. They can’t all be insane.
Sweden, Population 10.2 Million, Offers Asylum to China’s over 10 Million Uyhgur Muslims
3/20/19
By Chris Tomlinson
The Swedish government will be opening the doors to China’s persecuted Uyghur Muslims and allow them to claim asylum in the country.
…
The move could have real consequences for Sweden, a country of 10.2 million people by 2018 estimates, due to the fact that the Uyghur population in China is estimated to be up to 11 million people, according to Chinese state statistics.
Over the last year, the Chinese government has severely cracked down on Uyghur Muslims in its western Xinjiang region where up to a million people are believed to have been detained and sent to “re-education” camps across the region.
In 2015, Sweden took in only a fraction of a million people, around 163,000 asylum claims, which amounted to a cost of around 600 billion Swedish kronor (£48.3 billion), or 14 times the annual defense budget.
…
The costs of the recent migrants have put a strain on some municipalities forcing many to consider raising taxes in order to pay for social services and for the national government to even look into raising the retirement age to help cover new costs.
The costs of housing, integration, and teaching new migrants Swedish, for those who actually attend the classes, is also complimented by the much higher unemployment rate among migrants than native Swedes.

Pope Francis Praises Sweden’s Moratorium on Immigration

Sweden Hands Out over 132,000 Residency Permits in 2018
By Chris Tomlinson 1/6/19
…
The Swedish migration board handed out 132,696 residency permits in 2018 which include tens of thousands of asylum seekers and their family members.
The largest number of residency permits were given for reasons of family connections which included 72 adoptions, 16,641 family reunifications for asylum seekers, 18,792 family reunifications labelled “other,” and 9,339 permits for children born to parents with citizenship outside the European Union, migration board report states.

Felix I think it started 30 to 40 years ago. But it did not obtain real momentum until recently. I first visited France, Germany and England in 1983 and was shocked upon seeing Paris. At that time the streets were filled with Africans selling an assortment of trinkets on the streets. In Niece and Monaco nearly all of the shops were run by Middle Eastern Muslims. I have never been to Marseille but a friend who lives there told us about 25 years ago that the city has a sizable voting bloc of Muslims. 10 to 15 years ago I was in Naples and witnessed a frightening demonstration of Muslims on the streets as well as countless numbers of Africans selling trinkets. There were so many Africans blocking the streets with blankets that it was difficult to pass.
I could not figure out for the life of me why the citizens of these countries would allow these eye sores to deface their once beautiful cities.
Ever since Multiculturalism came to countries, the downfall begun, bit by bit chipping away of rights. Bringing in refugees from Vietnam and other areas
Yes. The Vietnamese moved into and took over my father’s neighborhood. They don’t believe in maintaining property. In a brief time the neighborhood looked terrible.
Not a good look Felix, and many countries not as good
Poop Frank is a farce…….
Wort pope in history, radical left wing activist, should be removed
Why aren’t European Churches putting holy verses from the Muslim Holy book the Quran that defend the Bible, Jesus and the birth of Christianity? When are Christians gonna start preaching Jesus from the Muslim’s own holy book the Quran 3:44-55. In Quran 3:54 it says God had a best plan that is revealed in 3:55, God said, “O Jesus I am going to kill you and raise you to me so that those who follow you will be SUPERIOR to unbelievers and return to me on resurrection day to see judgment.” In other words God allowed unbelievers to kill Jesus as a martyr to begin the true religion Christianity.
Christianity is dying in Europe because their people CHOSE to reject it.
We only leave bacon on their doorsteps and the LEFT goes nutz. How come they aren’t going nutz when the Mouslems leave their piss and doo and vandalize our churches?
religion of peace! for tolerance! for Merkel!
This destruction of Christian Churches and symbols doesn’t seem to bother the Pope or the Cardinals.In fact,they directly encourage it by promoting Muslim migration into Europe. The Church has prospered in Europe for 2000 years.It is now very sick and unlikely to last another 50 years if this continues. There is only one solution and that is the annihilation of the Muslims wherever they are. They are an existential threat to our existence.
I’m sure Cong. Omar is thrilled with this, and wants the same for us….
When will we destroy the master nest of these vile insects? Mecca should be destroyed!!!!!

And now Notre Dame Cathedral has burned — during Holy Week. Does anyone really think this is a coincidence?
This is what happens when you allow the murdering neanderthal followers of the filthy barbaric ideology Islam into your country.
???? yours UN NWO globalist scum
Keep adding to the list of all the churches destroyed by Muslims and then share it to many places
Someone needs to do a cartoon of Muhammad with a match lighting the Notre Dame. Do it like a sneak in darkness.
History has already shown how this will end … A mass war between Islam and Christianity … Islamist terroists can only outfit so many with bomb laden backpacks … The newly minted muslim immigrants seem to think they will have the upper hand. Christians knew that muslims considered Christians infidels that must die before they were allowed to flood Europe … Another failed liberal experiment.
