The intent is clearly to frighten and silence:Fifty statues of Christ and other Christian figures have been defaced and smashed apart in a crime wave sweeping parts of Germany.
Mirko Stein of the Münster police told the channel: “large numbers of the people in the neighborhood where the sculptures are shocked and scared”.
“Based on the intensity of the acts of the perpetrator, one can already conclude that this act has a religious background.”
German criminologist Christian Pfeifer believes crimes were committed by someone who is “angry” and “hates the Church”.
Similar crimes against Christian artifacts in the area have been recorded as well.
According to the German tabloid Bild, 40 sculptures had been attacked in the two years preceding the current crime wave.
Police were investigating six men with alleged links to Islamic extremists, but gave up after three left for Syria, one died and the other two dropped off the radar.
Someone who is angry and hates the Church . . . gee, ya think?
Catch 'em, try 'em, but if they're armed? Kill em dead!
ReplyDeleteExactly.
ReplyDeleteAlso, do an about-face on immigration policy.
Germany has done about faces on immigration policy before. I talk to a Bosnian gal who was a little girl when they threw them out. She was very grateful to Bill Clinton who took them in in America. Her parents started a restaurant and grocery store and she went to college here and works for a bank.
ReplyDeleteMuch has changed in Bosnia, Germany, and post- America since she was little.
ReplyDeleteFor one thing, we are now talking about refugees from places that are not European (as is Bosnia). Also, in her youth, jihad was not the horrific threat it is today.
Hmm, wonder why things got so vicious since then?
