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

Germany: Thirty anti-Christian attacks in two months

Jun 23, 2019 4:00 pm By Robert Spencer

These attacks could have perpetrated by militant atheists, angry ex-Catholics, any number of people. But such people have been in Germany for years, and there has not been significant vandalism of churches. However, Germany has seen a large influx of Muslim migrants in recent years, many of whom believe that it is an insult to Allah to say that Jesus is the Son of God (cf. Qur’an 19:35), and that Jesus died on the cross (which the Qur’an also denies at 4:157), and that representations of the human form are temptations to idolatry. Could it be possible that Muslim migrants are behind this epidemic of attacks on churches? Or would that be “Islamophobic” even to consider?

“Germany Sees Thirty Anti-Christian Attacks in Two Months,” by Chris Tomlinson, Breitbart, June 22, 2019 (thanks to The Religion of Peace):

According to a new report from a watchdog on anti-Christian incidents, between April and June Germany saw thirty anti-Christian attacks ranging from thefts to arsons.

The data was compiled by the Observatory on Intolerance and Discrimination Against Christians in Europe, who noted around 30 separate incidents between April 1st and June 10th published on the group’s website.

A large number of the cases involved various forms of vandalism, including an incident at the Lutheran Nikolaikirche in Caldern in which the attackers set fire to the hymn book and Bible at the altar of the church, and also left faeces on a bench outside of the church and at the entrance.

In Mannheim on April 29th, thieves caused a large amount of damage to another church, smashing the doors and other objects, causing around 10,000 euros in damages.

Around a third of the incidents over the period involved thefts, mainly of donation boxes, such as in the St. Marien Catholic Church in Bremerhaven where offerings of between 300 and 500 euros were stolen.

In the Osterfeld Protestant Church in Berkheim, Esslingen thieves stole three gaming consoles, a digital camera, and an SLR camera from the youth room and another room used for storage.

The estimated cost of the goods was around 1,000 euros but the damage done to the church itself amounted to another 2,000 euros.

Another theft in Bad Oldesloe saw suspects take a wooden cross from the altar of the Peter-Paul-Kirche that is thought to be worth between 3,000 and 5,000 euros.

In two cases, attackers attempted to set fire to churches in Ankum and Nordhausen but the blazes were put out before they could spread any do any serious damage….

      Muslims have lots of reasons to commit terrorism, but the German politicians are wilfully ignorant of those reasons:

      As I pointed out in an earlier post I indicated that Islam is the main world’s problem today….
      Even if all Islamic nations banded together with a military effort they could not defeat the west, not even America and they know this, so the tactic they are using to install Islamic law throughout the world is exactly what they are doing….USING OUR FREEDOMS AND LAWS AGAINST US while performing sporadic jihad, trying to. cause the one thing that has been prevalent since Islam’s inception those many centuries ago and that one thing is….. FEAR…..

        There was a time where they actually thought they had a chance. When the invasion of Iraq began, they were certain that the Americans were effeminate, fat, lazy and ripe for the taking. After the war, captured al-qaeda cables read something along the lines of “these are not the fat sheep we were promised, we’re being crushed, please send help”

    I’m visiting Germany now and I have watched the German news on TV. The big topics were right wing extremist threats to politicians. I did not see anything about Islaimic terrorism or vandalism or anything the reflects negatively on Islam. I suppose that is connected with the globalist war on Christianity and Judaism. The elites who control the media want to suppress knowledge of the danger of mass migration by Muslims.

        Do not get deceived.
        .
        The extremist Jews ruling Germany are who intentionally bring those radical Islamists to use them against the Christians.
        .
        The Antichrist extremist Jews ruling the entire west today are on Antichrist war , and are the head of the snake.

      On point, James. Very much on point.

      It is highly instructive that the two major religions that work optimally with democratic tenets, i.e., Christianity and Judaism, are now in our silly era subjected to the most ridicule and abuse.

      This “phenomenon” functions for anyone who has not lost their common sense and moral intelligence as ipso facto evidence that such abuse and ridicule is not only about castigating Judaism and Christianity (and by extension the West itself which pioneered all kinds of freedoms that no other civilization or society ever has) but also about demeaning and even destroying democracy itself.

      As an example, reflect, anyone reading this, what that wretched woman, Ilhan Omar, would do to liberty and equality under the law here in America if only she could have her way of things entirely.

          Christians and Jews must stand together. As for Europe, it is rapidly reaching the point that this mess cannot be reversed through democratic means. If this continues, civil war is on the horizen..

      Conclusion: Germans are UNCONSCIOUSLY promoting Islam because it is A REPLACEMENT FOR NAZISM !!!

      • gravenimage says

        Jun 23, 2019 at 6:14 pm

        This may be. But in that case, why are so many other nations–that don’t have a Nazi past–doing the same?

        • mortimer says

          Jun 23, 2019 at 11:46 pm

          Answer to GI … because the KALERGI PLAN came from Austria as a reaction against Nazism.

          In the case of the UK it’s because the place is being run by cowardly, unprincipled, self-serving nonentities who have lost their self-respect and direction and are kowtowing to anyone with money or/and a grotesquely inflated ego and mouth. This means those with oil money and all those ‘valued new citizens’* who routinely play on the post-imperial guilt-complex to push their own agendas.

          *citizens who place great value upon themselves, whatever the evidence to the contrary.

        • gravenimage says

          Jun 24, 2019 at 8:29 pm

          But why would nations without a Nazi past worry about their Nazi past? The fact is that most nations of Western Europe–and the rest of the West–are doing this.

    • Rufolino says

      What you report about Germany is quite typical of W.Europe as a whole.

      The contrast between conditions in W.Europe and those E.European countries like Hungary and Poland who have refused the EU’s “open door” policy towards mainly Moslem migrants, is becoming more marked all the time.

    Well what do the authorities have in their files to compare to. How often has this happened in the past. Do mosque claim anything going on at their mosque. I don’t see why all worship centers wouldn’t be targeted unless it is directed at Christians only. The different religious buildings shouldn’t bother an atheist, since they must dislike Muslims, and Jews also. So it must be directed at Christians only, or the Christians don’t protect their churches as the Jews, or Muslims do. What do we have to compare with.

    • gravenimage says

      Jun 23, 2019 at 4:59 pm

      Actually, most Atheists don’t hate religious people. But you are quite right–if it *was* an extreme religion-hating Atheist, surely they would be apt to target any place of worship.

  5. somehistory says

    Jun 23, 2019 at 4:35 pm

    This is not unexpected as Jesus told His disciples that they would be “hated” and “persecuted” because He was hated and persecuted. He said it more than once and advised them not to give up their faith.

      Orthodox Russia is a prime example, by those who are purportedly anti-islam. The cold war isn’t over, just slightly thawed according to some.

      You are so right. The “government” just publicly announced today that in 2018 184000 refugees requested asylum in German. More than in any other European country. Probably the same amount of people, if not more, came to Germany illegally asking for asylum. The “open door”-policy is still doing well.
