The Qur’an suggests 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.
“Decapitated statues in a church in Angers: a man arrested,” translated from “Statues décapitées dans une église d’Angers : un homme interpellé,” TFI Info, April 19, 2023 (thanks to Medforth):
According to our information, a man was arrested after damage was committed on April 12 at the Sainte-Madeleine church in Angers (Maine-et-Loire).
Statues were decapitated and crosses broken.
The alleged perpetrator was identified after a DNA sample.
The suspect was identified by his DNA. A man was arrested in the investigation into the damage committed on April 12 at the Sainte-Madeleine church in Angers (Maine-et-Loire), the police-justice service of TF1 / LCI revealed this Wednesday. He is suspected of several acts of vandalism, namely the beheading of 12 statues and statuettes, as well as damage to three metal crosses and a broken stained glass window.
The author known to the police
According to our information, the suspect, Brahim B., 40, already known unfavorably to the police and justice services, was identified thanks to traces and clues taken in the church, which allowed a DNA analysis in laboratory. He was arrested Tuesday morning at his home and taken into custody. He was subsequently hospitalized, his psychiatric examination having revealed an incompatibility with police custody.
The damage had been discovered by the priest on his way back from lunch on April 12. “What is striking is to see that the statues have been decapitated. But we can imagine the violence that must have been behind it and we would like to know that it was the motivation of such a person to do such a thing when entering a church, a place of worship. For us, it’s not just stones, they are symbols of our faith,” lamented Father Magloire Djaba Tossou in the TF1 report at the head of this article.

” He was subsequently hospitalized, his psychiatric examination having revealed an incompatibility with police custody.” What a joke they’ve made of the justice system there as most everywhere else. This jihadist clod defiles a place of worship and prayer, for which he would be executed in a Muslim land if he did that to a mosque. Here he gets gov. covered medical retreat.

The only criminals who are “compatible with police custody” are those who have been in prison so long, they can’t make it on the outside, so they commit a crime knowing they will be put back inside.
All other criminals, including the ones who commit offenses for islam, are “not compatible with police custody” because they don’t wish to be locked up.
going by that, all of them should just be released upon arrest, or even before, when they are first in “police custody.”

You are talking about civilized western criminals and these people are not civilized western criminals so new rules are in order. The left will howl, all cultures are the same, we are all equal in morality and civility! But that is obviously…not true.
tgusa says
Civilized western criminality, as we have it, is bad enough. Uncivilized western criminality we don’t have a shortage of in various places. The last thing we need is uncivilized non western criminality all over the place. With no doubt that is what western leaders are enabling. That is a crime against all of us.
tgusa says
Regarding,hopefully, civilized western criminality, hows it going at your place, some?

I think not too bad, but still having some things happen in the dark. the guy who was sleeping beside the garage claimed he didn’t know we live here, so the police told him to take his stuff and move on. He moved, but left all his stuff. It was a pile of grossness.
The maintenance man cleaned it out and put new security door and window up.
We got the puppy…two months old, but she’s as large as some adult dogs. Hopefully, she’ll ward off the next burglar.
A neighbor told us that we should put up barbed wire across the back fence. He said people are always cutting through our yard. All the other houses have fencing. This is the only one with gaps. I told him our lease doesn’t allow us to do anything like that, and he said, “do it anyway.”
Thanks for asking, by the way. Hope things are better your way.
tgusa says
“do it anyway.” Yep. That is what I would have said.
somehistory says
I may have to “do it anyway.” Last night, there were several strange noises outside, but it was too dark to see in all directions.
In any case, I’ve had dealing with barbed wife…living on farms and going through pastures…
Hope your weekend is what you wish.

I wonder what the media would say if a Catholic vandalized a mosque and beheaded a statue of Mohammad?
Why does it seem acceptable for these muslim/islamic followers to commit these crimes of hate against Christians?
Are our political and media leaders that afraid of Islamophobia.

What I don’t understand is why any nations are putting up with Islam sh!t….

Good question, OLD GUY.

This shows how foolish it was to rebuild the Notre Dame Cathedral after it was burned down. N.D. was situated in a Muslim-dominated area. The new N.D. will be built in the same neighborhood with the same materials–wood, stone, and glass. It’s just waiting for someone “with an “incompatibility with police custody” to burn it down like the old one.

Clifford, your demand that we submit to Islam will *not* help. If Muslims learn that we dare not rebuild anything Muslims destroy, this will just embolden them.
Then, I do not know Paris well, but I can find no indication that the 4th arrondissement is now a Muslim area.

The so called ”justification” to destroy images:
Sura 21:52 and 58
Remember when he said to his father and his people, “What are these images that you worship?” Then he smashed them all in pieces except the greatest of them, perhaps they would return to him.
gravenimage says
Then there are the Hadith that say that no angel will enter a place with pictures.
A church, of course, violates both the ban on images *and* the ban on any faith besides Islam.
