France: The village cross of Lias smashed into four pieces. “It wasn’t just a cross; it was a landmark, a symbol of the history and continuity of the village”

The village of Lias was the scene of an act of vandalism that left the inhabitants sad and angry at the same time. In the early morning of March 26, the cross that had adorned one of the main squares for generations was found lying on the ground, detached from its pedestal and broken into four pieces. It was not a simple cross; it was a landmark, a symbol of the history and continuity of the village. Mayor Gérard Paul made no secret of his shock at this loss: “This cross was more than a religious representation, it was the soul of our village, as it had been enthroned there for centuries”. The reasons for this act are not known. The restoration of the cross will cost the community and its inhabitants a great deal. He recalled previous acts of vandalism in which topiari and flowerbeds created by local associations to beautify the village were destroyed.

  1. Islam’s “god” must be incredibly WEAK and impotent because it doesn’t seem to be able to do anything got itself. it has to have stinky people living in shitholes do things. in exchange it promises them shade, food and water. All the things their shithole lands do not have.
