Italy: Screaming phrases from the Qur’an, a 67-year-old Muslim devastates a church in Trento

Jan 6, 2015 1:09 pm By Robert Spencer

Cles-church-of-Santa-Maria-AssuntaThe “mental illness” that has been afflicting France lately now spreads to Italy. Symptoms include screaming Islamic phrases and attacking Infidels or, in this case, and Infidel house of worship. I look forward to the new edition of the Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders (DSM) to list and classify this particular mental illness, and explain its etiology.

“Screaming phrases from the Koran, Moroccan devastates a church in Trentino,” Secolo d’Italia (translated), January 2, 2015:

Mumbling phrases of the Koran in Arabic, a Moroccan threw to the ground and severely damaged five statues of artistic value and other furniture and religious objects in a church in Trentino. The devastation took place Thursday afternoon in the parish church of Santa Maria Assunta in Cles (Trento); the perpetrator was a 67-year-old Moroccan who was arrested by the police. The alarm was raised by a woman who saw the man mumbling phrases in Arabic and entering and leaving the church, where the Mass had been celebrated and at the time of his action was empty. The Moroccan acted in a few minutes, using an iron rod and throwing to the ground the statue of the Madonna and Child, the Immaculate, those of Our Lady of the Rosary and Our Lady of Sorrows and the statue of St. Joseph with the Child. On these statues he was relentless, using six solid silver candlesticks dating back to 1700. The candelabra had the papal bull of protection for those stolen or sold. The vandal has also targeted the marble altar and the baptistery, which shattered, two altars and a large painting of the Assumption. All damaged items are cataloged at the Superintendence for Cultural Heritage of the Autonomous Province of Trento.

Blocked by the police, the man was arrested on charges of aggravated damage. He will be tried in the Court of Trento. The Moroccan is a longtime resident in Trentino, and since last summer has lived in Cles. According to the police, his actions are connected to mental problems, and not to religious fanaticism. The man has for several months shown signs of anxiety, and already last month disturbed a religious function in the same parish church of Cles.

“Something of this kind we would have never imagined, the church devastated by a character who everyone thought dangerous and who is not new to attacks against our religion,” said a shocked witness at the site grandecocomero.com. The man in question had already stopped a religious function in November. “He had entered with a stick and started yelling verses of the Koran,” recounted a lady….

        Sudden Jihad Syndrome is a perfect name. It’s ‘sudden’ and ‘nobody understands why it happened’. Of course the preceeding escalating fantical behaviour is ‘unrelated’. I had to read this sentence twice because I couldn’t believe my eyes:
        “Something of this kind we would have never imagined, the church devastated by a character who everyone thought dangerous and who is not new to attacks against our religion,” said a shocked witness at the site grandecocomero.com.

    Christianity, which once was barbaric too, has changed it technique of attacking other faiths. It now attacks other faiths using lies & deception and money to convert people. Billions of dollars are pumped into this Conversion Industry. Islam, which continues to be barbaric, uses violence to try and make people believe in allah. Two Abrahamic religions; two paths.

      Jesus said: “Love your enemies. Do good to those that hate you.”

      Mohammed said:

      Tabari VII:97 “The Prophet declared, ‘Kill any Jew who falls under your power.'”
      Bukhari:V1B1N6 Mohammed said, “Just issue orders to kill every Jew in the country.”
      Hisham: Mohammed said, “I descended by Allah with the sword in my hand, and my wealth will come from the shadow of my sword. And the one who will DISAGREE with me will be humiliated and PERSECUTED.”
      Bukhari:V4B52N220 “Allah’s Apostle said, ‘I have been made victorious with terror.'”
      Bukhari:V4B52N260 “The Prophet said, ‘If a Muslim discards his religion, kill him.'”
      Quran 8:12: “Instill terror into the hearts of the unbelievers”
      Quran 28:86 “Do not support al kafiroon in any way.”
      Quran 48.29 “Muhammad is God’s apostle. Those who follow him are VIOLENT to the unbelievers, but merciful to one another.”

      As far as I know, there’s no Christian sect stating that the teachings of Christ are any different now than they were back in the first century. Either provide evidence from the Scriptures and Christian orthodoxy to back that rubbish statement or retract it.

      “ It now attacks other faiths using lies & deception and money to convert people.”

      Nope, that would be islam, with all the Saudi funding of mosques worldwide, and imams of all sects claiming that muhammad was a man or peace, and tailoring islam to fit their target audience.

        Converting to Christianity for money reminds me of a Muslim woman who told me about an Afgahni woman in my city who became a Christian for money. I told her that Christians do not buy souls. The following day I did a phone poll of all the Christian churches in my city. Got a firm NO from all of them. They all got a pretty good laugh out of it. This muslim woman doesn’t have an orginal thought in her head when it comes to what her Qur’an tells her. Her lack of critical thought scares me.

          The Mohammedan Mob gang moll/ camp follower was probably projecting *Muslim* methods onto the Christians.

          Over the years at this forum, various jihadwatchers who have lived and worked in places such as the land of the Abominable House of Saud, have spoken of having been offered large money payments if only they would convert to Islam.

          There is at least some suggestion that in impoverished parts of Africa Muslim dawa artists – funded by oil money from Iran if Shiite, from Saudi Arabia/ Qatar/ etc if Sunni – are wont to use money or other material incentives to gain ‘converts’ to Islam. Whereas Christian aid organisations will set up a clinic or school or dig a well “no strings attached” – you can be treated, educated, or draw the water, *without* having to convert to Christianity first or indeed at any time thereafter – I understand that Muslim organisations will, for example, dig a well but then allow *only* Muslims to use it.

      Certainly some Christians over the years have behaved in an un-Christian way…but they have never been able to claim support for their actions by quoting the New Testament.

      @ Guest.

      “Christianity, which once was barbaric too…” You mean when Christians defended their lives against the blood-thirsty muzzlum hordes back in the Middle Ages? Ok, so by whose standard are you judging? Seems to me that absolutely nothing has changed from then to now – the muzzlums still cut off people’s heads and then they cry the victim.

      Jesus taught his followers to follow the Golden Rule not “he who has the gold rules”. Jesus never condemned any man – they managed to do that all by themselves. Seems to me, you’re the one with the ax to grind! What would you do if someone broke in YOUR house and stole (or killed) your wife and kids??? Time to get your facts straight!!

      http://www.thearma.org/essays/Crusades.htm#.VMz5YWjF-So

      If you read the Bible and especially the New Testament you will understand more about the true teachings of Jesus Christ. He NEVER advocated hurting anyone in any way. He was just the opposite
      of muslims when he said, “Love your enemies.”

      Jesus teachings are nothing like mohammad who spread islam by the sword.
      In India alone historians estimate islam murdered over 100,000,000. It’s hard to believe but just
      study the history.

      Right now, it would be a good move for each manse, church and convent in parts of Italy where there are colonies of Mohammedans – and for that matter, in or near every Islamised neighbourhood in France, and Germany, and Netherlands, and elsewhere, – to acquire – if they do not already possess – two or three or four large dogs, preferably black ones (because Mohammedans are spooked out by black dogs, the Hadiths tell them that black dogs are “Satan”), properly trained as guard dogs, and familiar with (and capable of taking orders from) congregation members.

      Said dogs to be present at all times in and around the premises: patrolling the perimeter night and day, and waiting and watching quietly just inside the doors or within the front gate during services.

      Imagine if this thug, upon sneaking into the church to wreak mayhem, had found himself with a dog’s businesslike jaws clamped firmly on his backside and another dog’s jaws clamped on his wrist while the third dog growled and barked menacingly. ‘Allah’ would have evaporated out of his head llke a puff of black smoke whilst he screamed for rescue.

    Accepting the precepts of Islam, it’s hard to criticize this devout Moslem activist. He went in there and did the right thing, the same thing hundreds of thousands of Moslem activists have done down through the centuries: desecrating an Infidel place of worship. He did the right thing according to the Holy Ko-Ran and the commanded Sunnah.

    And, he’s got a big guy sitting in this guy’s corner down in Vatican City, a quick an hour-and-a-half zoom down the AutoStrada. This episode will be given the most delicate treatment and he’ll be let off easy. No biggie, this is the New Normal. There are so many New Normals now.

    How could she know he was mumbling Quran verses in Arabic unless she understands Arabic?…Possible but unlikely. Shouting Quran slogans without saying what they are, is getting to be standard news reporting. My uneducated guess is that he was probably mumbling Allahu Akbar. I doubt if it was bismillah.

        The Labour councils (left-wing) also close public houses down and convert them into mosques, due to their love of islam and those who adhere to it.

        The left-wing are nothing more than traitorous scum; and should be dealt with accordingly.

    He is called a “Moroccan”. With any luck he does *not* possess an Italilan passport or Italian citizenship.

    If that is the case – i.e. he still holds Moroccan citizenship and has not wangled an Italian citizenship – then the good non-Muslim citizens of Trento – backed up by all Islamosavvy Italians elsewhere in the country – must *demand*, loudly, that he be deported, as soon as possible. Send him back to the dar al Islam, where he belongs.

    Before he progresses from smashing up statues and altar and font in a church, to stabbing, shooting or slitting the throat of a priest, a nun, or other non-Muslim Italian resident of Trento. Before he goes into a church *during* the service and does to the priest and the worshippers what two Muslims with axes and guns did to four praying rabbis in the Har Nof synagogue in Jerusalem, a couple of months ago.

    Out with him!

    PS I wonder what mosque he attends? I wonder where the nearest mosque or mosques are? I would advise the local Italian police to investigate, thoroughly. Indeed, this ‘incident’ would be the perfect excuse to surprise-raid and search, on spec, all mosques – and associated premises, such as imam’s houses – within ten or twenty kilometres. Turn them upside down and shake them and see what falls out. Find *any* evidence of any obviously criminal activity – e.g. kiddie porn on the computers, fake passports and other falsified or fraudulent documents, large stashes of cash, drugs and/ or explosives (or even just traces of same), weapons – and / or open incitement to Jihad, support for / endorsement of outfits such as Islamic State?…shut them down. Permanently.

You shoot them.” Would the official line be that these individuals are mad and leave it at that? Or do you think they would be asking why it’s happening?

    http://www.courrierdelouest.fr/actualite/bressuire-cinq-statues-de-la-vierge-decapitees-a-notre-dame-05-01-2015-201708

    ” Parishioners in the Church of Notre-Dame de Bressuire have driven away an unknown woman who was perpetrating degradations on several satatues inside the church. Facts have occurred in the morning of Thursday January the 1st. This woman dressed in black seemed to be in her fourties has focused her efforts on the statues representing the virgin Mary. A total of five statues of virgin Mary have been wrecked, some partially broken as they were thrown on the ground, others were beheaded. ”

    Actually nothing in this article refers the woman as being islamic, but this other article http://www.courrierdelouest.fr/actualite/bressuire-cinq-statues-de-la-vierge-decapitees-a-notre-dame-05-01-2015-201708 actually states that the inquiry is turning towards a person struck by mental illness, which seems to be the new codeword.

    We Jews are just as bad. The other day I attacked some Amalekites, screaming curses at them from the Torah. They may have been Japanese tourists, though, I’m not sure.

  19. Doubting Thomas says

    Jan 7, 2015 at 6:09 am

    A lot of these comments are funny (especially references to Morphine Suppositories, and the joke by “Jewdog” about the Amalekites!). Others are just plain puerile, including foul language & references to trolls & commands to “be gone”. I agree Justin sounds brainwashed, like Fundamentalist Christians & Fundamentalist Muslims – different doctrines (& proneness to violence by Muslims) but same dogmatism, same certainty that “I’m right & all you who think differently are wrong”.
    With such a serious topic, with lives at stake, even Civilisation in the balance, it’s understandable that some need the relief of a bit of levity (the Jocular Defence, according to psychologists) but overall I think that the topic warrants more serious, thoughtful consideration, & less of the ego-driven put-downs. If ever one wanted to see evidence of narcissistic behaviour, one only needs to follow this comments column! Also, spelling mistakes & ignorance detract from the column. I’m amazed that mention of bad behaviour by Christians (during the dark Ages, mostly) triggers so much defensiveness & denial. It pays Christians to remember & to acknowledge the facts of history (when Christians didn’t follow the teachings of Jesus), as “Those who forget the lessons of history will be condemned to repeat them”
    However, I agree with some comments by Salah & Justin, just not most of them.

On the thread below, one ‘Lance’ appropriated to himself, a comment I made to Doubting Thomas, and the content of ‘their’ posts, re my ‘anger’ etc, is very similar. I rather think they are one and the same, which, if true, argues a lack of probity, to say the least.

        I would be interested to know what *you* think

          They do sound very similar Mirren. I’ve made a mental note of it thanks. This really isn’t the forum – the war room of the counter-jihad if you like – for this ‘individual’ to be overly-sensitive anyway is it. Always enjoy your posts Mirren.

          ‘Doubting Thomas’ has left a turd at the end of that thread, whereby he *still* refuses to answer any of the points I put to him.

          ‘Nuff said, I think ! 🙂

    Pope Francis ought to take note as he think muslims honor the Madonna.
    He was shouting vereses from the Qurán and according to the police suffers from mental illness. Conclusion to be assumed is that the Qurán provokes mental illness.

    It is tiresome to hear every excuse in the book. What this man has committed was a sacrilege the true victims are God and his Blessed Mother to whom the Church was dedicated.

    Hey ‘Guest’, and all others, listen

    I am an Indian Christian and the ‘Guest’ who made such stupid comments about Christians is obviously a Hindutva fanatic. Of late, the new Hindu nationalist government and related Hindutva leaders in India have been on the rampage, threatening, humiliating and abusing Christians on a daily basis.

    They are just a softer version of the IS or Taliban.

    This moron that ‘Guest’ is, does not know what he is talking about.
    But for the light of Christianity, Indians would have been still practising human sacrifice, sati (burning to death the wife too in the pyre of the dead husband), polygamy, killing of the low caste people for their very existence, infanticide, and a hundred other horrors.The missionaries began the systematic study of Indian languages, grammar, wrote the first lexicons for most local languages, improved or introduced alphabets for many languages, opened modern hospitals, schools and colleges and admitted everyone to them.

    These were revolutionary steps and many got attracted to the religion of the missionaries that appeared to be far, far superior to what they had experienced till then. Many became Christians because of that. Not because of monetary allurement.
    And Guest, do not equate Christianity with the satanic death cult Islam under the tag Abrahamic religion.
    To qualify for the name of Abrahamic religion, it must descend from or be related to the legitimate progeny of Patriarch Abraham, and not from Ishmael, the son of a slave girl born to Abraham. It is neither legally nor Biblically correct to state otherwise. Islam is neither Abrahamic nor a religion. Get your facts straight first, Guest, and then blabber.
    Realise that it is Christianity that made the modern world, including the computer that you, Guest, used to spew venom on your own benefactors. Shame on you.
    And what of your religion? Hinduism converted every single nation from Sri Lanka to Japan. The Shinto religion of Japan, Confucianism in China, Bonism in Tibet, the Khemer religion in Vietnam-Cambodia were all wiped out by Hindu and Buddhist proselytisers. Did they pay money to convert them all? Look at what your forefathers have done before pointing fingers at others.
    And what of your modern co-religionists? ISKCON, Ramakrishna Mission, Vinayaka Mission and assorted sadhus and swamis are all over the U.S. and Europe, duping people into Hinduism.
    So, on which foot really is the boot?

    For some information about Christianity, violence and forced conversion, read

    http://christthetao.blogspot.com.au/

    For 400 years Christianity was peaceful. Then it became institutionalised and corrupt and sometimes violent for about 1200 years. Violence was used to defend and conserve the power of the church-state, but not really for propagation. Then there was a reformation and the modern world arose.

    Christianity did not become numerically strong on a worldwide scale until the missionary efforts of the last 250 years. The missionaries did not operate by the sword.

      @ Diana

      Here we go. Every single time there’s an attack by Muslims following the dictates of their religion and the example of their founder, someone starts with the, “BUT CHRISTIANS!”

      “For some information about Christianity, violence and forced conversion, read

      http://christthetao.blogspot.com.au/

      This is nonsense. For one you cannot force anyone to become born again. Faith in Christ is something inward that God does. It cannot be forced by outward means.

      More importantly, there are no open-ended commands for Jews or Christians to commit violence against unbelievers. That’s why there ARE NO JEWS OR CHRISTIANS committing such acts, all over the world, on a regular basis, in obedience to any such commands.

      Take your silly attempts a more equivalence elsewhere.

    For some observations made on the “Religion of Peace” in 1975 look up “Exit Visas” on pirate Bay.
