Two Catholic churches in Strasbourg were vandalised by a person who is currently being sought by the police, according to Jean Werlen, the city councillor responsible for relations with religions. On Wednesday September 25, excrement was indeed thrown at the walls of both churches, Saint-Pierre-le-Vieux and Saint-Jean. The two places of worship are only about 100 metres apart. The police have not yet made any arrests and are still looking for the alleged perpetrator, but a witness was able to give the police a description of the suspect. The man could be suffering from mental health problems. According to Jean Werlen, there is currently ‘no message’ behind the vandalism. The mayor of Strasbourg said she was taking the situation ‘very seriously’ and condemned ‘with the utmost determination any attack on religious freedom’. ‘I trust the forces of law and order to fully clarify what happened and to preserve public calm and coexistence’, Jeanne Barseghian added in a statement.
For several weeks now, Catholic places of worship have frequently been the target and object of vandalism. At the beginning of September, the church of Saint-Omer in the Pas-de-Calais department was set on fire. The church’s bell tower even collapsed under the force of the flames. Fortunately, no one was injured in the fire.
Why are you putting up with this blatant harrasment from the muslims in your communities? Your elected officials have made it plain that they will choose the muslims over you. All it will take is for your officials to be voted out and new ones that have YOUR best interests at heart to be installed. You need to post armed guards inside and out of your churches to prevent them from entering your places of worship to destroy & desecrate them.
