Another church was vandalized in France.
There are more and more attacks on Catholic churches and places of worship in France. The other day a church in Paris was desecrated with incredible brutality.
Just a week ago, vandals rampaged through a church in Paris. Violent graffiti was written on the building, calling for war and the beheading of Christians, and threatening to set fire to the church.
- writes The European Conservative news portal. The next day, the faithful found traces of fire in the church, but it did not spread further, so no irreparable damage was done.
Many of the inscriptions written on the walls of the building were distinctly Islamic:
"Obey Allah, you infidels, pray five times a day", "Scumbag Jesus, there is only one god, Allah".
Other damage was also reported. The pipe organ was smashed, the sound system damaged and the attacker even left excrement in the back of the building.
In the small tea kitchen next to the church, a wooden statue of the Virgin Mary was found in the sink, stabbed in the throat with a kitchen knife, and with the following messages: "Mary, this is your fate", "We Muslims cannot accept this f*** religion" .
The parish priest, Father Vincent de Mello, believes that the attacker may have been "slightly disturbed" but was clearly "hostile and threatening". The parish is hoping to get a grant from the city or the Diocese of Paris to install a video surveillance system.
The Notre-Dame du Travail church is located in a working-class district of Paris, where a large number of immigrants live. De Mello told Boulevard Voltaire that the neighborhood was severely affected by the riots of June 2023. "In June, on the day of Eid [the Muslim holiday of breaking the fast], some people tried to enter the parish yard because they knew we were having a barbecue," says the priest. It happened several times that young people shouted "Allah akbar" during the mass, but did not go any further. However, since then, alongside Islamist threats, anti-fascist graffiti has also appeared.
Anti-Christian acts occur throughout France and have been growing steadily and unstoppably for years. The Ministry of the Interior counted a thousand such acts in 2023 alone, 90 percent of which were attacks on properties, churches or cemeteries.
