There is no telling who did this. It could have had nothing to do with Islam. Or, in light of the curious fact that the head and fingers were severed, the perpetrators could have been Muslims acting upon this Qur’an verse: “When your Lord inspired to the angels, ‘I am with you, so strengthen those who have believed. I will cast terror into the hearts of those who disbelieved, so strike upon the necks and strike from them every fingertip.’” (Qur’an 8:12) Also, Muslims have committed similar vandalism in many churches worldwide.

Rengsdorf (ots)
In the period from February 13th, 2021 and February 14th, 2021, property damage occurred to a cross at the St. Kastor Church in Rengsdorf. Here the head of a Jesus figure and a few fingers were cut off by previously unknown perpetrators. Who made observations of suspicious activity during the period in question?

it’s supposed to make Christians angry and upset and to humiliate everyone who believes in our Lord. But Christians are taught to have faith, leave rage and rely on Christ to make things right.
netflix has a movie going with lies about Christ for the same reasons. But, just let them tell the Truth about islam and its fake ‘prophet’…the pervert, mass-murder who raped children, sold slaves for sex, stole, lied, and served satan the devil as a sack of filthy slug slime ‘son’ of the demon snake. They won’t ever do that.
There is a Lake of “fire and sulphur” prepared for satan and all of the “liars and those disgusting in their filth.”

somehistory,
I believe that the Netflix movie you are referring to is called “The First Temptation of Christ”.
somehistory says
Yes, that is the one. Disgusting.

This is supposed to be a comedy–I have not seen it. If someone made a similar comedy about the “Prophet” Muhammed, the death threats would be flying…

Can you blame the Poles and Hungarians for keeping the fifth column of Islam out of their countries? Such wise people.
Valerie Hamilton says
I agree – Poland and Hungary are beacons of light and hope in the darkness of encroaching islam.
Uma Maheswar Nakka says
We Sanatana Dharma followers faced and facing many such atrocities, but ignoring them for the sake of Love & peace to prevail on Earth with no bloodshed.
These people, they know not what they are doing, I don’t say they are innocent to be pardoned. They are religious fanatics equipped with cruelly crooked mind. Leave them to their own fate.
Rob Porter says
somehistory – and to think that Western countries still allow such disgusting people into their country! It does anger and disgust me, but the West that allows in Muslims and does not deport those who don’t assimilate also disgusts me.
somehistory says
Rob,
Every time I feel the disgust and anger rising, I recall the Prophet Ezekiel being shown what was going on behind the walls in Jerusalem. He described them as “disgusting.’ and indeed, much like what we are seeing today,
Thankfully, we are not Judged by Christ on what others are doing.

jihadis are morons, Jesus needs not a statue not a building – maybe a nice shade tree, but that’s it
Wellington says
The fingers being cut off even more than the head being cut off is dispositive of who perpetrated this outrage. Consider Sura 8:12 as one of many indicators substantiating this hypothesis of mine.
The beast has been let loose in the West and yet not described as the beast which it surely is. The beast is one of the greatest enemies of Western Civilization of all time, i.e., Islam. Aiding this unconscionable civilizational suicide is arguably the stupidest totalitarian ideology of all time, and which just happens to be the newest totalitarian ideology in man’s sorry history, i.e., Western Leftism.
At least Islam, Marxism and Nazism were not “sheerly” stupid. Extraordinarily wrong, malevolent, horribly regressive, an enemy of liberty and the whole nine yards of other errors to be sure, but it seems Western Leftism has pioneered a new error in totalitarian thought—utter stupidity.
Actually gives me hope because perhaps totalitarianism has reached a nadir with monumental nothings like AOC, Kerry, Psaki, Fredo Cuomo, Joy Reid, Nancy Pelosi, Adam Schiff, Robert de Niro, Bill Gates, MSNBC, the NYT, et al. continuing to pontificate their many idiocies (sadly, this “crowd” also includes the present Pope, Trudeau, Merkel, Macron and what’s left of something there never much was in the first place, i.e., Biden). If so, then man has turned a corner. Better have, since in a high-tech age control-freaks and morons in command can add up to nothing good, nothing at all.
Meanwhile, the Islamic world and the Chinese are salivating. Russia, Latin America, the sub-Saharan African world, et al. remain in eternal stupid mode. You bet. The West continues to descend for no good reason—this will, of course, mean literally and metaphorically heads and fingers of Jesus statues being mutilated. Count on it and most certainly count on Biden getting nothing of what I have just written—nothing at all.

Yes, lovely. Aren’t we ever so committed to protect and preserve diversity and indigenous culture?
Except in Europe.
The church was first mentioned in August 857. That means it has been standing there for nearly 1200 years.
First a wooden structure, later a stone church. The sandstone Jesus statue looks younger, but it is also an old and unique artefact, arms stretched out in blessing.
What do we expect from an intelligent guest that came to us for shelter and asylum? Vandalizing such unique expressions of a very old and dignified culture? I am trying to see the individual in every person, god’s image, but my willingness to live together with people of this intellectual and cultural make is slowly fading.

Another important point–in addition to being a religious symbol, this is an irreplacible historical artifact.

americanpatriot says
Our non-Islamic world is under constant attack of people belonging to so-called great religion of peace. But we non-Muslims are still in our deep sleep and deadly bliss of heaviest layer of ignorance of Islam, which is ever hateful toward everything non-Islamic. Our future, including the future of our children, our way of life lies on factual knowledge of this deadly ideology so that we can have counter-measures against this onslaught. Otherwise, it is a matter of a few centuries time that Islam will achieve global domination which every devout Muslim has been striving for all over the world.
In Asian & African countries, in every business owned by Muslims, there is always a numerical sign on the sign-post of their business which refers as 786 either in Arabic or in English or in local language. Most non-Muslims do not have any idea what those numbers mean. If we added all those numbers, it comes out as 21. This symbolizes that 21st century is the century that Islam will achieve its goal of global domination.
That number refers to Surah Al-A’raf which said:
“And remember when you were but few, He multiplied you” 7:86
Accept it or not, believe it or not, they are aggressively pursuing their goal of domination by all means in every corner of the Earth especially where Islam hasn’t yet established as a majority.

Germany: Jesus figure beheaded, several fingers cut off
……………..
There have long been Atheists, Agnostics, and Jews in Germany–yet this sort of crime was never common until Muslims began flooding in–with their diktats that Christians not be allowed to display the cross. Not a coincidence.

and christian evangelists are going full force to convert and demonize hindus. while hiding in closet when it comes to muslims.
wpm says
“Christian Evangelist” are not kidnapping Hindu young girls and raping ,force marriages to old “Christian” men ,doing forced conversions to Christianity ,burning down Hindu Temples or attacking Hindus at their Temples. Muslims hate all who are not Moslem or even not the right Moslem sects. If you can sight any vandalism by Christian groups against Hindus Temples, violence against Hindu people that is encouraged by Christian teaching ,or not please sight it here. Christians are not trying to steal land from India, wage war on India,s people in Jihad in Christ,s name? There are plenty of foolish Christian, and Hindu leaders in India, and the west who are trying to appease Islam ,thinking that they can tame the beast with “kindness”, ” tolerance “”understanding the cultural difference”. Islam is like Nazism it cannot be tamed ,it should not be tolerated, it cannot be appeased. If Christian leaders are saying Hinduism is a false religion or trying to peaceable convert people using no force or violence that is far different then Islam, the Moslem,s are responsible for over 60 million deaths of Indians over the centuries.

WPM,
Good repoly.

The ev*ngelists always say that Hindus are worshippers of “Satan” ; that their gods are evil and that they are cow piss drinkers.
Calling someone as *Worshippers of Satan* is indeed quite demonizing. Recently quite a few temples have been destroyed in the Andhra Pradesh state. And the conversions by Allurement. Conversions by allurement of money, Gas cylinders, rice bags and so on. Is your religion so weak that you need to use *greed* to convert ppl to your religion? Such repugnant behaviour! I’ve got to say a lot many things about Hindus as well, but this isn’t the proper place.
Being an ex-Ch*isti@n from India, I am glad that I’ve rejected religious dogma.
And moreover, forget the hindus, buddhists, taoists etc, the most pertinent question still remains, why weren’t ch*isti@n leaders able to defend Europe against THAT PARTICULAR religion?
Why did Europe turn to minority appeasement? Why did Ch*isti@n Europe forget its own history?(Charles Martel- Battle of Tours ; Jon III Sobeiski- Seige of Vienna)
The e*@ngelists can only convert ppl from other peaceful religions such as Hinduism, Buddhism, Sikhism, Taoism, Shintoism etc. But they’ll hide in the closet or will flee, when confronted with THAT PARTICULAR religion!
Raja, says
Aastra, You are an ignorant fool.
Idolatry was hated by God throughout the Bible not mankind including Hindus . Tell me how Hindus were demonized by evangelists? Some fringe elements might be evil but Hinduism per se does not advocate jihad or religious warfare, it certainly does not aim for global hegemony, though some Hindu individuals might nurse such thought.
Where is the need to demonize Hindus?
somehistory says
Lying again, aas…or is it “still”? Yes, it’s “still.”
You don’t have anything to add, so you should find a hobby that will occupy your time instead of coming to this site to lie about Christians.
When Christians speak to people of other religions, it is done with the objective of helping the one with whom the Christian speaks, realizing that each one must decide for himself what is the way he wishes to go and where he wishes to end up.
Christians don’t “demonize” anyone. If someone has a “demon,” it didn’t get there by a Christian speaking to the person.
So, until you can stop lying and face the Truth, your comments add nothing of value.
gravenimage says
Aastra’s whole shtick here is that peaceful Christians are as evil as murderous Muslims. Very strange stuff.
john smith says
To behead a statue of Jesus speaks volumes as to the type of people that could do such a thing. Jesus stood for everything that is beautiful in this world, peace, love, life and happiness. There was no evil in him, there was no hate in him, there was no malice in him, only goodness and love.
But there is one religion that opposes love, that opposes goodness, that opposes everything Jesus taught, and we all know what religion that is, islam.
muslims are following the forces darkness, which are out to destroy us all. Their evil god allah is no other than satan himself. The colour of muhammad’s black flag, should give us all some indication to whom his true allegiance was with, satan.
somehistory says
True. A person is like the ‘god’ he worships. When one is worshipping the devil, he/she behaves in a devilish way, doing devilish things that please satan the devil.
Boycott Turkey says
Isn’t Jesus according to Islam a prophet called Issa so isn’t cutting of his head the same as cutting of Muhammad’s head if there was a statue of muhammed to ? How comes blasphemy is allowed against other prophets in Islam but not Mohammed ?
