France: Police Arrest Man for Desecrating Church with Islamic Qur’an Verses
Police in the French city of Toulouse have arrested a man in connection to a church desecration in which verses from the Islamic Qur’an were written on the walls of the church.
The church vandalism is said to have taken place several months prior in a church just north of Toulouse bordering on the Borderouge district. The suspect, a 25-year-old male, is believed to have taken part in the vandalism, France Bleu reports.
Around a dozen officers from the elite tactical National Gendarmerie Intervention Group (GIGN) are said to have raided the home of the 25-year-old on Monday, forcing themselves into the man’s apartment by knocking down the door. The suspect did not resist arrest and was placed into custody.
The arrest comes just under a year after another church in Toulouse, the Notre-Dame du Taur, was vandalised by an individual who wrote “Allah u Akbar” on the doors of the building.
Protège ton église (Protect Your Church), a group that aims to protect churches and holy sites in France, wrote: “This desecration is reminiscent of the place of Islamism in the acts of Christianophobes and the danger that this phenomenon represents for our churches and Christians around the world. France remembers Father Hamel murdered with this cry.”
Jihadists murdered Father Jaques Hamel in his own church in July 2016. The Catholic priest was later declared a martyr by Pope Francis.
Church attacks in France have become a major issue in the last several years, with a report from March of last year claiming that there are as many as three attacks on churches or graveyards per day on average, with a total of 1,063 cases in 2018.
While some attacks have been in connection with robberies, others have less clear motives, such as an attack in November that saw human faeces smeared into prayer books at a church in the commune of Tarbes.

France is doomed (I am from France). Only thing to do: forbid Islam in France. Conversion or expulsion.
the problem with Le Pen (daughter) she is a nationalist with left wing policies. Her father Jean-Marie was right wing. Many left her for her leftist crap.
Keep posting here! We in North America need more truth from France and the rest of Western Europe. All we get here anymore on the Idiot Box and other Fake News/Main Stream Media are Globalist lies.

… French President Emmanuel Macron, in a declared effort to“fight fundamentalism”
and “preserve national cohesion,” has promised to “lay the groundwork for the entire reorganization of Islam in France.”

… The rewriting of the Quran doesn’t seem to be going too well.
How’s the rebuilding of the Notre Dame Cathedral going?
Never mind...
He sounds just like Ms. Trudy in Canada….They’ll say and do anything to placate the Muslim invaders…

Macron is a culture-liberal economic-liberal socialist like the former
Holland. The main exception Holland liked younger women, Macron prefers
older women and probably not only woman but people from (North) Africa
His words about the “reorganization of Islam” are either empty posturing or a deliberate lie. He doesn’t have the stones to even TRY to do it and neither do the rest of the weak, worthless, degenerate, cowardly atheists who run Fwancistan.

Who was responsible for desecrating a Jewish graveyard in the US causing tens of thousands of dollars in damage? Or did the police bother investigating that crime at allah?

Islam can never be reformed. All we can realistically do is contain and confine the cult to its desert homelands. Macron and others are in denial.

Once upon a time muslims essentially lived I’m Marseilles. Now at 10+% of the population they are taking over France, and if they don’t get their way, riots follow. The good people of France must be terrified of what has happened over the past ten years.

It is a pleasant surprise to learn that French citizens and Catholics are organizing to protect their heritage from the Muslim invaders. Hopefully, this will soon bloom into ridding the country of the menace.
