“Following several suspicious fires, members of the Syrian Orthodox St Maria’s church in Norrköping say they will begin patrolling the area around the church at night to avoid further potential attacks.”
Sweden is becoming unrecognizable since its influx of Muslim migrants.
“Church attacks in Sweden are relatively uncommon in general but attacks on communities targetted by radical Islamic Sunni extremists, such as Syrian Christians and Shi’ite Muslims, are a concern in the country.”
The country should expect no different given its open immigration policy. Muslim migrants have now made bomb attacks a normal part of life. 95% of Swedes already think Islam is incompatible with human rights, and religious rights go hand in hand with human rights.
“Syrian Orthodox Church in Sweden Under Guard After Series of Suspected Arson Attacks,” by Chris Tomlinson, Breitbart, January 10, 2020:
Following several suspicious fires, members of the Syrian Orthodox St Maria’s church in Norrköping say they will begin patrolling the area around the church at night to avoid further potential attacks.
The move comes after the church received a fire alarm on Sunday night as a fire had broken out in the assembly room of the church, the second suspicious fire in a month according to Isa Gergin, spokesman and caretaker for the Syrian Orthodox Church, SVT reports.
“On the third of December, it was the same. Someone had poured gasoline on the outside and lit it. But the emergency services were quickly in place,” Gergin said.
Commenting on Sunday’s fire, Gergin said: “We have not gone through all the damage yet, but the building has survived and internally it is only smoke damaged.”
The two fires are not the first time the building has been victim to a suspected arson attack. in August 2018, police investigated another incident but according to Gergin, the church officials had not heard anything back from the police.
“I think they have closed the investigation. Personally, I think there is a connection,” Gergin said.
St. Jacob of Nisbin Syrian Orthodox Cathedral in Hovsjö is also stepping up security efforts with the Swedish government giving the church SEK 122,000 (£9,800/$12,900) towards 14 surveillance cameras as part of a scheme to help religious communities under threats of violence and harassment.

BREAKING: “Allahu Akbar” screaming African attacks three German churches and threatens worshippers
This morning, during the service in three churches in the communities of Rhauderfehn and Ostrhauderfehn, a 33-year-old man from Rhauderfehn with Ivorian nationality threatened the churches. nd 09:55 a.m., the police were called because a male person in the Church of Hope in Rhauderfehn in the street Untenende is said to have disturbed the service by shouting loudly. The male person then left the parish and went to church service in the Catholic Church in the street Kirchstraße in Rhauderfehn. There, too, the man caused a stir by shouting loudly and shouted “Allahu Akbar”. Afterwards he left the church again and found himself in the Petruskirche in the street Kirchstraße in the parish of Ostrhauderfehn. Also in this time he interrupted the church service taking place there. According to current information, the 33-year-old Ivorian verbally threatened the visitors of the service. Some of them left the service in a hurry. The man then also left the church. The police, who were already searching for the man at this time, were able to find him on the main road in Ostrhauderfehn, near the local industrial estate, at around 11:20 am and arrest him temporarily. During the subsequent search measures, the 33-year-old resisted considerably. The police arrested the man and brought him to the police station. During the search of the person and his belongings no weapons or other dangerous objects were found. Police officers of the State Security Department of the police department Leer/Emden have started investigations. The investigations carried out did not reveal any indication that this was a politically motivated act. During the fact-finding process, the 33-year-old allegedly made a confused and psychologically conspicuous impression. For this reason, the district of Leer was also informed of the incident. Due to his psychological abnormalities, the man had to be admitted to a psychiatric clinic. According to current knowledge, nobody was injured by the deployment. The public prosecutor’s office in Aurich decided on further measures to clarify the facts of the case. The 33-year-old is now under investigation.

Thanks for that story, Medforth. Of course, this is not mental illness–it is terrorizing the Infidels.

Usually, the Germans report the perp as being a “southerner”, as if he were some pot-bellied, beer swilling guy from Bavaria wearing lederhosen and a funny green cap.

….and where is a current update on those who were responsible for spraying graffiti on Synagogues and Jewish owned property, in London, insinuating Jewish people were responsible for 9/11.
The silence by the U.K. police is deafening.
If someone had sprayed ‘9/11’ on a Mosque, then there would have been arrests, and those culpable, named and shamed, by now.
That’s the truth!
Infidel says
They should move to Syria or Lebanon. They’d be safer there ?
On a more serious note, they should consider moving to Greece, Bulgaria, Serbia or Russia – the 4 Eastern Orthodox countries in the region

Infidel–with all respect–Christians are being persecuted and murdered in the Middle East. Bad as things are in dhimmi Sweden, they are still worse in Dar-al-Islam. I know you were being at least partly ironic, but still.
Infidel says
I thought that the emoji did indicate that I was being facetious.
However, I did seriously suggest that they seek out the Eastern Orthodox European countries, like Greece, Bulgaria, Serbia
gravenimage says
Infidel, I did indicate that I knew you were being facetious.
I replied only because some people here genuinely believe that Europe is much worse than is the Muslim world itself, which is *much* mistaken.
Infidel says
Also, while things are bad for Christians in Hizbullah run Lebanon, in Syria, they are a part of the Baath coalition led by Assad, and as Hugh once pointed out, Syria is the only Arab country where not just Christmas, but also Easter is celebrated as a holiday. Partly due to the Alawite iconification of Virgin Mary

Aren’t the local police doing this? if not, why?
Eur says
until the arrival of muslims it was not necessary to patrol near the churches.

Sweden: Syrian Orthodox Church under guard after series of suspected arson attacks
………………….
And they’ve been attacked several times before.
While *all* Christian churches are potential targets, Muslims are particularly enraged that former dhimmis are allowed to live in peace in Infidel nations.
And it is not police who are going to provide security for this church–they don’t seem to be taking these attacks very seriously. But, grimly, native Swedes will be next.

FUTURE OF HUMANITY
A few years ago , a picture was published in a magzine where a man was lying on the ground on his back . He was wearing a skull cap and had long beard with no moustache . Two swords were tied to both of his feet with the help of the ropes . And he was holding two other swords in his hands . His left foot was fighting with his right foot using the swords tied to his feet . And his right hand was fighting with his left hand with other swords he was holding in his hands .
The Caption below the picture read like this :
First of all , muslims killed all the non-Muslims of the world . Then they declared different sects of Muslims as KAFIRS and started killing each other . Now this is the last Muslim left in the world .
Infidel says
I remember that cartoon from Twitter, from the time i was there. Essentially, it showed him fighting himself – making the point that Muslims are incapable of living even w/ each other, and even when there are no religious differences b/w them – that’s when sect, language and other things kick in

Last nightan exp;losion went off in an apratment house in Stockholm. No injuries, but police say it is one of the biggest they have experienced. Heard all over the city. Also an explosion last night in Uppsala in front of a nightclub. No injuries reported, Causes and suspects unknown.

There’s a school in the same building–that might have been the target. Might be Jihad.
TimothyS says
The arson is suspected because the cause is known.
