Canada: Six religious statues beheaded at Grotto of Our Lady of Lourdes

Jul 3, 2020 4:00 pm By Robert Spencer

Leftists have been indulging in an orgy of destroying statues lately, but their favored method of destruction is pulling them down, not beheading them. Could it have anything to do with the introduction into Canada of a large population of people who believe that Christianity is a false religion and that they are commanded to fight unbelievers so that Allah may punish them by the hands of the believers (cf. Qur’an 9:14-15)? Could it have anything to do with the Qur’an’s suggestion that the destroyed remnants of ancient non-Muslim civilizations are a sign of Allah’s punishment of those who rejected his truth? “Many were the Ways of Life that have passed away before you: travel through the earth, and see what was the end of those who rejected Truth.” (Qur’an 3:137) The ruins of non-Muslim civilizations thus bear witness to the truth of Islam. What ensues from that idea? The creation of more ruins.

“Half a dozen religious statues beheaded in Sudbury,” by Molly Frommer, CTV News, June 30, 2020:

SUDBURY — There are currently a dozen statues at Grotto of Our Lady of Lourdes property, and all are from the 1950s.

Recently, half of the statues were beheaded by vandals.

“We’re saddened,” said David Sirois, of Diocese of Sault Ste. Marie. “There’s enough volunteers and people who have donated to try and keep this site nice … for the general public. Then when you see damages like that, you wonder who would do that kind of thing?”

Officials found out about the damage a few weeks ago, and say the incident most likely happened in the middle of the night.

“Easier to be here without anyone noticing them easily, so and that’s probably why they were trying to be more quiet at doing it and just grabbing the parts that were easily accessible on the statues,” said Sirois.

He said after hearing about the damage, he immediately contacted Greater Sudbury Police, who said the investigation is ongoing.

“Unfortunately with no video surveillance, and no witnesses at the scene we do not have a suspect at the moment,” said Sarah Kaelas, of Greater Sudbury Police Service….

    You might wonder that, Monsieur Sirois. The rest of us have a pretty good idea it was Muslims.

      The Diocese is “saddened”.

      Is that all ? This is so passive.

      They should be very angry, like Jesus was sometimes angry

        Passive, yes where the anger? Saddened what do they say soldiers of Christ, soldiers that something the Diocese isn’t sounds pathetic an cowardly to me, How committed are they to Christ really?, I have no faith in thèse men of religion. “Faith is dead without action”

    First heads are chopped off of statues. Next, they will behead people. Jihad comes to Sudbury.

    But will anyone in Sudbury pick up a book on jihad? A well-informed populace is the greatest defense against jihad.

    When the Muslim population of Canada reaches 15%, there will be jihad terror attacks every week. The Lib-Jihad Party, meanwhile brings in as many Muslims as possible and provides them immediate free housing in new apartments where available.

      Useful to remember that the only Western leader whom Muslims found common cause with, was Hitler.

        99% of the Muslims fought with the allies against the Germans in both world wars. I never really understood why people mix up fiction with reality.

          Jews had thrived in Iraq for 2,700 years, a thousand years before Mohammad. But all that came to end when the Mufti of Jerusalem, Haj Amin al-Husseini, led the broad Arab-Nazi alliance in the Holocaust that produced a military, economic, political, and ideological common cause with Hitler. Although Husseini spearheaded an international pro-Nazi, anti-Jewish Islamic movement from India to Central Europe to the Middle East, it was in Baghdad—a 1,000-kilometer drive from Jerusalem— that he launched his robust coordination with the Third Reich.

          In 1941, Iraq still hosted Britain’s Anglo-Persian Oil Company, which controlled the region’s oil. Hitler wanted that oil to propel his invasion of Russia. The Arabs, led by Husseini, wanted the Jews out of Palestine and Europe’s persecuted Jews kept away from the Middle East. Indeed, Husseini persuasively argued to Hitler that Jews should not be expelled to Palestine but rather to “Poland,” where “they will be under active control.”

          Nazi lust for oil and Arab hatred of Jews combined synergistically June 1–2, 1941 burning the Farhud into history. Arab soldiers, police, and hooligans, swearing allegiance to the Mufti and Hitler, bolstered by fascist coup plotters known as the Golden Square, ran wild in the streets, raping, shooting, burning, dismembering, and decapitating. Jewish blood flowed through those streets and their screams created echoes that have never faded.

          Yes, it is hard to understand why people mix up fiction and reality or fiction and fact.

          muslims especially.

          muslims are marvellous at mixing up fiction with reality…like..

          muhammed visiting the mosque in Jerusalem that didn’t exist[FACT] in mo’s time{koran 17:1}on his magical winged flying donkey with a woman’s face called buraq[FICTION]

          Or allah insisting he gave the Gospel to Jesus{koran 5:46}[FICTION] which is pretty funny as it was written down AFTER the time of Jesus[FACT]

          The koran’s claim that muhammed is in the Bible[koran 7:157][FICTION]when muhammed cannot be in the Bible as he is not from the children of Israel[FACT] a criterion allah himself insists was given to the Jews ;the right of prophethood see koran 45:16 and muhammed doesn’t qualify..

          allah’s mistaken belief that MARY is in the Christian Doctrine of the Trinity koran 5:116[FICTION]when MARY has nothing to do with and is not in,the Trinity[FACT]

          “the hour drew near and the moon was split in twain” koran 54.1[FICTION] which of course never happened[FACT]

          “And there were gathered together unto Suleiman{..the muslim solomon not the Jewish Solomon..}his armies of JINN and humankind and of birds” koran 27:17 which is fine in the Lord of the Rings[FICTION] but is not possible in reality as there are no ‘JINNS’ except in the mind of allah the Arab and his book of islamic fairytales,the Holey Koran[FICTION]

          Hoppla, read Asia Bibi story. 15,000 Paks in UK rioted when Theresa May granted her asylum, so May aborted her meager generosity and Bibi instead was murdered by a mob in Pakistan, after her release from 10 years in prison while a mother of young children. Her crime: converting to Christianity. Don’t worry, you mislead nobody beside yourself, which you apparently enjoy.

          Jul 4, 2020 at 9:35 pm

          Actually, the claim that 99% of Muslims fought in WWI and WWII in *any* capacity is utterly false.

          For Hoppla poppla to state something false while–supposedly–castigating others for falsehoods is grotesque–but should not surprise.

          And Allied commanders complained that Muslim troops were often more eager to rape Infidel women than to actually fight. Such rapes are what the Sophia Loren film “Two Women” is about.

          And Rob is *quite right* that it was only Hitler who spoke of his admiration for Islam, chiefly due to its brutal savagery. By contrast, he considered Christianity to be “weak and flabby”.

      One of the grotto “stations” featured Jesus with two other figures which were beheaded and hands broken off while the Jesus statue was unharmed. What kind of people would respect Jesus yet would behead and chop off fingers and hands of Jesus’ followers?

    Sickening. Highly instructive too of not only ignorance but, in microcosm, of antipathy toward Western Civilization.

    And bet whoever did this wouldn’t desecrate in any way a mosque or any Islamic “phenomenon.” This is additionally telling if so and I for one think it most definitely so.

    The new Dark Ages continue. Actually, they’re just getting started. This is what you can expect when you exculpate the worst major religion of all time and embrace the newest idiocy in man’s history, i.e., Western Leftism.

    …………

    I would also ask, does this have anything to do with Muslims believing that Infidels who don’t submit to Islam should be beheaded?

    After decades of Liberal-sponsored immigration from the Middle East, Canada is about to face a terrible reality. The barbarians are already inside the castle, and they have full citizenship rights. If they are arrested, they scream “Racism! Racism! Racism!”

    Thankyou for the information Robert. We wouldn’t hear about it anywhere else. Seems like too much of a coincidence that the statues were beheaded and not pulled down.

    They’re testing for Push-back. None will be forthcoming in Canada, no real cost to the perpetrators and their allies.
    So they will escalate. Very predictable.

    I am bewildered by the programs which are aired on our UK TV that promote border security USA & CANADA – actually makes it look like nobody gets in – not even a fruit fly would get into these countries yet they are full of muslims. I was so naive thinking it was only the UK suffering from the influx of them and their horrible behaviour and crimes.

    The fake news will suppress such incidents because it does not support the narrative of the Muslim invasion.…..

  14. OLD GUY says

    Jul 4, 2020 at 6:29 pm

    Beheading is the death trademark of the islamic religion for infidels. So yes I would say that the muslim migration invasion army has landed in Canada and most of Europe. Open borders is an invitation to the islamic states to infiltrate the western society with out firing a shot, once in your country they will attempt to destroy your heritage, culture and force their sharia laws.

    My beautiful church was vandalized during the protests. But we have a priest who is absolutely fearless and went out and confronted the perpetrator and the man took off running. There is a time for righteous anger, and this is it—

    Does same type of tranquility descends into your mind when we say, “Allah hoo Akbar” as descends when we chant,”Om Ganeshay Namah” ? Muslim religion allows entry of Satan through the door of religion. It allows vandalism.
