Greece: Muslim migrant throws rocks through cathedral window and smashes its door with a hammer

Aug 9, 2020 1:00 pm By Christine Douglass-Williams

This kind of thing is happening not just in Greece: “Vandalism and theft in churches across France have become common, with one report stating that the country sees as many as three attacks on Christian sites every day, including the desecration of cemeteries.”

The Muslim migrant who vandalized the Metropolitan Church of Agios Minas is Algerian. Islam is the state religion in Algeria. The Algerian government targets churches. That’s because “the government views Christianity as a danger to the Algerian Islamic identity and is making every attempt to regulate the church into non-existence.”

Given the treatment of Christians in many Muslim countries, it should come as no surprise when hateful behavior that is commonplace in those states is transported by migrants into Western countries, particularly given the laxity and intolerance of the intolerable on the part of globalist Westerners.

“Migrant Arrested for Repeatedly Vandalising Greek Cathedral,” by Chris Tomlinson, Breitbart, August 6, 2020:

Greek police have arrested a 38-year-old Algerian migrant after he caused damage to a cathedral twice in less than a week.

The migrant is said to have attacked the Metropolitan Church of Agios Minas, a cathedral in Heraklion, the largest city on the island of Crete, on Sunday. He threw rocks at and damaged the cathedral’s stained glass windows as well as damaging a window of a bookshop of the Archdiocese of Crete.

The migrant then returned to the cathedral on Tuesday morning armed with a hammer and began smashing a door, newspaper Proto Thema reports. Police examined video footage and were able to identify the Algerian national and place him into custody.

The incident is just the latest act of vandalism directed at a church or chapel in Greece by a migrant. Last month a pair of migrants were arrested on the island of Chios after they had looted an Orthodox Christian chapel for money and various sacred objects.

Just a month prior, police in the city of Thessaloniki arrested a 36-year-old migrant from Kazakhstan who is suspected of stealing goods from several churches in the area worth as much as €50,000 (£46,000/$56,000).

Greece is not the only country in Europe to see such anti-Christian attacks on churches and other places of worship. Vandalism and theft in churches across France have become common, with one report stating that the country sees as many as three attacks on Christian sites every day, including the desecration of cemeteries….

    They export venom
    They create failed societies where they live
    And use their failures to expel their walking talking fighting venom

    The Leftards and Globalists claim that Muslim migrants are not dangerous: THEY CLEARLY ARE DANGEROUS.

    The main danger within Islam is its VIGILANTISM!

    -“Whoever among you sees an evil action, let him change it with his hand [by taking action]; if he cannot, then with his tongue [by speaking out]; and if he cannot, then with his heart [by at least hating it and believing that it is wrong], and that is the weakest of faith.” Narrated by Muslim in his Saheeh.
    -“The believers, men and women, are Awliyaa’ (helpers, supporters, friends, protectors) of one another; they enjoin (on the people) Al‑Ma‘roof (i.e. Islamic Monotheism and all that Islam orders one to do), and forbid (people) from Al‑Munkar (i.e. polytheism and disbelief of all kinds, and all that Islam has forbidden)” – [al-Tawbah 9:71]
    -“Let there arise out of you a group of people inviting to all that is good (Islam), enjoining Al-Ma‘roof (i.e. Islamic Monotheism and all that Islam orders one to do) and forbidding Al-Munkar (polytheism and disbelief and all that Islam has forbidden)” -[Aal ‘Imraan 3:104]
    -“You (true believers in Islamic Monotheism, and real followers of Prophet Muhammad and his Sunnah) are the best of peoples ever raised up for mankind; you enjoin Al-Ma‘roof (i.e. Islamic Monotheism and all that Islam has ordained) and forbid Al‑Munkar (polytheism, disbelief and all that Islam has forbidden)” – [Aal ‘Imraan 3:110]

    “This is why I’m totally perplexed that the only significant pushback against Muslims was in Christchurch New Zealand. Men of rotherham, Cologne etc ‘Where are your cojones?’”

    Casual calls for mass murder are becoming quite frequent here with no challenge whatsoever.

      Very good question
      Any answers?

    • gravenimage says

      Aug 10, 2020 at 7:01 pm

      What is ELI babbling about here? This is either from his imagination or is a reference to a post that was removed as violating Jihad Watch standards.

      In any case, his claim that call for mass murder are not challenged here is obviously completely false.

        Hi Gravenimage, the post was indeed removed and yes such posts are unchallenged here. I am not necessarily talking about the moderators but the posters.

          Can you challange islamic terrorism which killed millions of innocent people for 1400 years and so on ?

        • gravenimage says

          Aug 13, 2020 at 2:26 am

          How is removing a post not challenging it? Seems that this is a pretty decisive challenge, actually. And most moderators are indeed posters here, so this is a distinction without a difference.

    Muslims build mosques as they tear down church’s, Not hard to see the future outcome.
