Exposing the role that Islamic jihad theology and ideology play in the modern global conflicts

“No to wall, Islam or die” spray-painted on San Antonio church entrance

Oct 11, 2016 12:53 pm By Robert Spencer

“He said he wasn’t sure if the vandalism had anything to do with Donald Trump’s signature presidential campaign promise to build a wall on the U.S.-Mexico border.”

Sure, and no doubt it also has nothing to do with Islam.

“‘No to wall, Islam or die’ spray painted on San Antonio church entrance,” by Caleb Downs, Dallas Morning News, October 11, 2016:

Police are investigating the defacement of a San Antonio church after vandals spray painted “No to wall” and “Islam or die” next to the entrance of the church.

An unidentified symbol is underneath the words spray painted onto Gethsemane Lutheran Church in the 600 block of Avalon Street, the San Antonio Express-News reports.

Eric Miletti, the pastor of Gethsemane Lutheran Church, told the Express-News he first noticed the graffiti Monday morning.

He said he wasn’t sure if the vandalism had anything to do with Donald Trump’s signature presidential campaign promise to build a wall on the U.S.-Mexico border….

    Actually, two San Antonio churches were defaced.

    “Islam or die” is a direct threat and I do hope the authorities are taking the matter seriously.

    Interesting that the symbol can’t be interpreted. Wonder if it is a gang-related turf insignia.

    Just what we need…muslim “gangs.”

      Thank you, Ashley, for the link.

      Behold everyone in the United States, clearly, the writing is on the wall.

      Plain as day. It is not meaningless vandalism; it is a warning to a nation.
      But none are so blind as those who do not see !

      Need Muslim street gangs?? We already have them in every State. They are also known as Democrats.

      Isn’t this a Muslim Hate Crime against good Americans and Christians? Where is the outrage??

    It doesn’t seem as though the preacher guy is taking it very seriously. Maybe he’s just low key and doesn’t show his emotions.
    They will likely be back.

    The symbol appears to be a rough incomplete copy of a symbol meaning, “In The Name Of Allah”.

    This could be a hoax. It appears on a church rather than on a common public viewed object like a billboard or town hall where it would be seen by the general public..

    • Apryl says

      Oct 12, 2016 at 2:18 pm

      It’s no hoax Westman. Painting Islamic warnings and symbols on churches (not billboards or sidewalks) is common in Europe, the UK and in Christian neighborhoods in Islamic countries.

    Robert, the symbol means Al-Quran Al- Kareem ie the Venerable Quran.

      Thank you, Michael!

      There sure is a resemblance!

      Find every mosque in SA. Paint a huge cross on it. Blow the door open. Toss a dead piglet in. Leave.

      Every stinking mosque.

      These buttheads (however large or small the actual ones) want war — their turn. Seriously, folks, enough is enough. Jesus never taught us to commit suicide.

    Now if a Christian sprayed a masque with Christianity or die… cair and FBI would be all over it. m

    • Angemon says

      Oct 11, 2016 at 2:14 pm

      Or even worse, left bacon on the door handle. It’s insane to think someone went to jail for leaving bacon on a door handle.

    • Norger says

      Oct 11, 2016 at 2:55 pm

      That would be a “hate crime,” and would be touted by CAIR et al as evidence of the rampant Islamophobia that US Muslims supposedly endure. Think the authorities even considered investigating this as a “hate crime”?

  6. Voytek Gagalka says

    Oct 11, 2016 at 2:06 pm

    Let me see: authorities now will be busy to search connection between this vandalism and “right wingers,” tea party members, the KKK and white supremacists (if there is any left still around), and completely ignore that it has Arabic inscription and only those who know Arabic or can decipher Arabic can be suspect. But no! To suspect any Muslim would be of course Islamophobic!

    Muslim illegals maybe? We know Hamas has opened mardras in Mexico City.

    This is proof they fear Trump’s power.

    Achtung! Christians will no longer be tolerated! You have been warned by the Caliphate!

    The spray painting looks like it was done with a template.

    Wonder if the one on the Catolic Church (not pictured) is exactly the same.
    With a template there could be more.

  11. Baucent says

    Yes, rather interesting that this is not being portrayed in the media as a “hate crime”. Any slogan sprayed on a mosque would be described as an “islamophobic attack”. There is actually a threat of death in this message.

    Islam is NOT compatible with our values! These mosques teach hate/killing! We r Christians and want NOTHING to do with Islam! This is OUR country so LEAVE!!!

  13. Kathleen says

    Oct 12, 2016 at 9:17 am

    Also Islam praises a false god! There is only Jesus no Allah!!!!

    Check the web. There are many Churches that have had to hire full time Security just to protect themselves from the attacks by local islamic Savages.
    Including arming selected members of their own congregations.
    The web has many videos put up by churches on how to protect your people, children and building from these Savages.

    Here we have the Islamic KKK in alliance w/ the La Raza KKK…and/or Islamic terrorists unhappy that the WALL means a more difficult time for them entering USA along w/ all the UNVETTED illegal aliens that includes Mexican drug dealers, rapists and MS-13 gang members.

  16. Carolyne says

    If the choices are “Islam or die” then I suggest this street artist die. Simple.

    I live in San Antonio,and never heard about this on our local news. This makes me nauseated! So glad so many Texans have guns!

  18. Art says

    Oct 12, 2016 at 6:06 pm

    The symbol is in artistic Arabic alphabet and translates directly to “Holy Koran”

    F. B. I. Supposed to be investigating. Same words and symbol paint on a bathroom wall, in a park, in Balconies Heights.
