Local Muslim leaders said they didn’t think a Muslim did this. And indeed, it could have been done by anyone, including opponents of jihad violence and Sharia oppression who meant it as a kind of warning. But in this case, the perpetrator turned out to be a Muslim after all.
“Seine-et-Marne: a vandalized church with an inscription ‘Long live Islam and peace,'” translated from “Seine-et-Marne : une église vandalisée avec une inscription ‘Vive l’islam et la paix,’” Valeurs Actuelles, May 6, 2023 (thanks to Medforth):
“Long live Islam and peace.” It is these inscriptions tagged on the wall of a church in the town of Lieusaint (Seine-et-Marne) that the parishioners had the unpleasant surprise to discover, Thursday, May 4. In addition, a Star of David, inscriptions in Arabic and lines were made in black paint on the enclosure of the building, reports the weekly La République de Seine-et-Marne.
The mayor of the town, Michel Bisson, deplored an “inadmissible, unacceptable and reprehensible gesture” on the social network Facebook. “Like all Lieusaint residents, I am revolted by such acts, with a thought for our Catholic friends,” he added. The municipality told CNews that it had filed a complaint, and immediately set about cleaning the wall of the building. An investigation has been opened.
In addition, Michel Bisson announced that he would closely follow “the progress of the investigation,” which may ultimately identify the perpetrators of this act. In this sense, the town hall stressed that “the video protection system, piloted by [the] urban supervision center, will be valuable for the police in the context of their investigation.”
The Muslim Association which manages the Great Mosque of Lieusaint “strongly” condemned this act of vandalism, and expressed its “complete indignation,” says the mayor of the town. However, the Great Mosque of Lieusaint told CNews that it was skeptical that these inscriptions could have been made by Muslims.
This is not the first time that this church has been vandalized, the parish priest emphasizes. Several statues had been degraded and overthrown, but the police had not been able to arrest the perpetrators of this act.
“Burned bus and gas station, racist tags… in Seine-et-Marne, the mad drift of a business leader,” translated from “Bus et station-service incendiés, tags racistes… en Seine-et-Marne, la folle dérive d’un chef d’entreprise,” by Sophie Bordier, Le Parisien, May 7, 2023 (thanks to Medforth):
Within 72 hours, the police were able to establish a link between the various offences and arrest the alleged perpetrator. He, a 45-year-old resident of Moisenay, admitted to the offences. A psychiatric expert concluded that his judgement was impaired.
“In police custody, the man told us that we would have done well to stop him as he was planning to set fire to the forest of Fontainebleau…”. Jérôme Georges, central commissioner of the Melun Val de Seine (Seine-et-Marne) conurbation, was relieved.
It all starts with slogans written in Arabic (“Allah is great”; “No deity but Allah,” according to a specialist with spelling mistakes) painted in black paint on the back of the church in Lieusaint. The damages were committed during the night of Wednesday May 3 to Thursday May 4….

Not God but allah ? He is already that allah is not god . Allahu akbhar does not mean god is great . Akbhar means greater ( than ). Allah is hilal bin sahar or hilal sahar . Hilal lime halal means brightness and crescent moon moon and bin sahar means son of the morning ( star) . The crescent moon and star worship. It is also Arabic for the Latin Lucifer ( hilal sahar ) therefore allahu akbhar means Lucifer is greater than Gid .

“Islam and peace”, now there’s a contradiction if I’ve ever heard one.

David M., I would also like to add to the contradiction that Islam must also be a mental defect since most of the European Nations, Australia, New Zealand, Canada and the U.S. always send these members of the unholy cult to a mental facility to seek the answers.
David M says
Yes, we never hear the result of this either. Maybe the psychiatrists just accept them as being devout Muslims, maybe they classify them insane, who knows?

No. Be reasonable, see it my way then you can have peace. We can do it the easy way of we can do it the hard way.
Andy Paul says
All Europeans should respond in a reciprocal spirit for their is no safe co-existence with Islam.
