Florida: Statue of Jesus beheaded at Miami Catholic church

Jul 18, 2020 2:00 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. Still, a Leftist may have done this, but could it have anything to do with the introduction into Miami 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.

Or is this the work of Leftists who are unwittingly (or knowingly) advancing the same agenda as that of the Islamic State and the Taliban?

“‘This is an attack on the church.’ Jesus statue beheaded at SW Miami-Dade Catholic church,” by Carli Teproff, Miami Herald, July 16, 2020:

A statue of Jesus Christ as the Good Shepherd that has been in the courtyard of a Kendale Lakes Catholic church for decades has been beheaded and police are trying to figure out who is behind the act.

The statue, which sits behind the church at 14187 SW 72nd St., was desecrated sometime Tuesday night into Wednesday morning.

“This is an attack on the church,” said Mary Ross Agosta, a spokeswoman for the Archdiocese of Miami. “This is not only private property, it is sacred property.”

Ross Agosta said church personnel found the statue with its head on the ground just before 8 a.m.

“This is not something you can trip over and say, ‘Oh, sorry,’ ” she said. “Someone did this intentionally.”

The incident comes on the heels of an attack on an Orlando-area church over the weekend. Steven Shields, 23, was charged with arson after deputies say he plowed a minivan through the front door of Queen of Peace Catholic Church in Ocala and set it on fire….

    Shaun King, the BLM leader, is directly to blame for this form of terrorism. In the middle of a global pandemic and marxist violence, Shaun King fanned the flames higher, using his platform for extreme demagoguery to drive his crazed followers to commit these violent acts against religion. I can think of no more overt example within the United States of flat out trecherous, treasonous demagoguery of the most vile sort than this.

      You’re right, BLM has promoted this kind of desecration. They should be labeled terrorists along with Antifa. That they might just be doing the evil handiwork of Islam or a Muslim did this, we have yet to find out. Btw, BLM $$$ is getting funneled to the Democrat Party, which is why they are silent or dismissive of the hate crimes. They are spiritually blind.

    Christian cemetery vandalized in Krefeld, Germany

    Unknown persons have damaged a large number of graves and other objects at the Krefeld main cemetery. The police are asking for clues.

    In the period from yesterday Friday ( July 17, 2020) to today’s Saturday ( July 18, 2020) several graves and urn graves were damaged at the main cemetery on the street Heideckstraße.

    Around 8 am visitors had called the police. The police officers were shown a picture of devastation: the previously unknown perpetrators damaged a total of 56 graves, 25 of which were urn graves and 18 were individual graves. They took away grave goods and flower bowls, or dug them up in part and tore out the plants. Then they distributed a large number of the objects along the paths of the cemetery.

    The amount of the damage cannot yet be determined. Especially the ideal value will be very high.

    The police have started investigations, among other things because of disturbance of the peace of the dead, and have called in the police state security. The background of the crime is still unknown. So far, no indications of political motivation have been found.

    The police are asking for information from witnesses. Similarly, relatives who are not yet known are asked to contact the police by calling 02151/6340 or hinweise.krefeld@polizei.nrw.de

    Was he a slave trader?

    I think whoever is hoping to pin this on BLM have slit their own throats. I think it’s time to flush.

    Where I live they stole the hands off a marble one a few years back. So the church made sure the new statue of Mary was cast in solid bronze. Try cutting that up on the main street of town. Sometimes you just have to be proactive.

    Oh, so all those decades of Cold War against Communism, all American lives lost in the process are gone for nothing and now Americans embrace communism? You tell me the USA become communist? Leftist = communist = neo-marxist = bolchevic = death of Christian civilisation. Is it so?

      We’re not Socialist or Communist yet, but there is an alliance on the left that is working hard to overthrow America. This election in November is critical. Trump must win, otherwise it will be this ghastly alliance that comes to full power.
