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

France: Muslim migrant held for extensive damage to centuries-old Paris church

Apr 14, 2019 8:00 am By Robert Spencer

There has been a wave of vandalism of churches all over France recently. The identity of the perpetrator of this particular incident suggests that more than just this case could be a manifestation of Islam’s violent contempt for Christianity, the religion of the “most vile of created beings” (Qur’an 98:6). A large number of people holding that contempt have recently been admitted into France. Merci, Macron!

An update on this story. “Saint-Denis: the alleged vandal of the basilica will be tried in May,” translated from “Saint-Denis : le vandale présumé de la basilique sera jugé en mai,” by Jeanne Cassard, Le Parisien, April 12, 2019 (thanks to David):

A 41-year-old man appeared this Friday at the court of Bobigny for damaging the organ of the basilica. The hearing was postponed to May 10th.

It was a dialogue of the deaf. “I do not know how I am involved in this case,” said the defendant in the court in Bobigny this Friday. Suspected of having damaged two doors, several stained glass windows, and the organ of the basilica of Saint-Denis in March, this 41-year-old man was speaking at a preliminary hearing.

When asked whether he prefers to postpone the date of his trial to prepare his defense, as the procedure requires, he replied that he “does not understand the French judicial system”.

Identified by his DNA

The forty-year-old was arrested Thursday at the detention center in Vincennes (Val-de-Marne), identified by his DNA found in the basilica. A Pakistani national, he arrived in France two months ago and does not speak French. He has already received a legal summons for having damaged property twice in February.

Annoyed, the president of the court stated that he believed that “the situation was not very difficult to understand” and reiterated his question. “How can I provide explanations if I’m not aware of what happened?” he persisted.

Custody

The magistrate ended up wondering if he “purposely does not understand”. The court finally decided to postpone the trial until May 10, and to place the accused in pre-trial detention until that date.

A psychiatric examination was ordered.

    Jihadic terrorists will eventually have to be punished with a death penalty. The death penalty will dissuade all be the most fanatical.

        Please don’t insult our nordic gods. I am sure they would not welcome any Muslims at Valhalla https://www.quora.com/What-is-Valhalla-1

    He understands sharia and that is basically what he is saying. And so what if he doesn’t understand it – he goes to another’s country and then starts his jihad? Let him get tossed in prison then deported. I also think we should start deporting them to antartica too. Let them build igloos and eat what they catch in the ocean. Give them a couple of dry sticks to start a fire and then wave ‘bye bye’.

    If the jihadist caliphate finally succeeds in Europe, can you imagine the statuary and artwork that will be destroyed to appease “allah”? Michelangelo’s “David”, Gian Lorenzo Bernini’s, “Ecstasy of Saint Teresa”, fountains in Rome, like the Trevi Fountain, so many more. Canova’s statue, “Perseus with the Head of Medusa”, might be alright though, as it depicts a severed head. Strict “sharia” would destroy all of it. But in fact the very existence of such art is the direct result of Charles Martel’s success at the Battle of Tours, in 732. Had that not happened, we wouldn’t have all of that art, nor would we have the music of Mozart, Haydn, Bach, or ANY of it. Not ONE aspect of islam is worth a rats patootie.

      Churches and other monuments are jahiliya period of ignorance so the churches need to convert to mosque or demolished

      Europe is becoming a shadow of its former self. Yes, all that stuff would go down with Muslim invasion and much more.

      BTW, Charles Martel received the name, “the hammer” (Martel means hammer) because he won a series of victories against Islam. The victories in the years following Tours were as impressive as Tours and the Franks were badly outnumbered in most of the battles.

      All that is being wasted by Macron, Merkel, May, and other European “leaders”.

      It is horrifying the great treasures of art that Muslims are targeting.

    Greetings:

    I still get a bit of my TV news from the France24 English-language broadcasts. I have yet to come across any coverage of this/these incidents.

    Another example of Western Europe’s suicide by stupidity. Soon to happen here in North America if liberal progressives have their way. Rino’s, never trumpers, and democrats work overtime to keep US borders open, protect criminals (including violent MS 13), and promote the importation of more miscreants from third world hell holes that plan on making the US just like the home they left.

    Gatestone Institute had an article on another website detailing how many of these attacks are occurring across France and Germany. This info never sees the light of day. You would think that the murder of the priest in France during services would have been a real wake up call to real French MEN and WOMEN that cared about their heritage and survival. The only thing that motivated anyone to try any kind of protest was more gas taxes.

    Meanwhile, “red flag” laws can now be used to disarm law abiding citizens in a growing number of US states. All that is needed is an accusation that someone is dangerous, and police can get a court order to disarm someone. The First, Second, Fourth, Fifth, Sixth, and 14th Amendments have now officially been declared null and void. Impeccable timing and convenient, don’t you think?

    Where is lebel? He was on this story when it first broke claiming it was bored and drunk youths. Nothing to do with Islam.

      Good question. He always disappears when it is convenient.

    First destroy, then deny and pretend not to understand. He knows what he did and he did it for his fake ‘god,’ satan the devil and his fake ‘prophet,’ the mass murderer, raper of children, dead now for many, many years…thank goodness…and now he must try and lie his way out.

    As Jesus said, “The thief comes to steal, kill and destroy.” The “thief” is satan, whose children follow his rotten, evil example.
