On January 17, a crucifix (pictured above) was destroyed in Cinisello Balsamo, a municipality in the Province of Milan, Italy.
This comes days after a statue of the Virgin Mary was destroyed and urinated on by a group of North Africans in Italy.
According to the report: “Christmas is over and nativities have been taken down, making room again for blasphemous and sacrilegious acts that aim at the Crucifix, the quintessential sign of the Catholic faith. One of them was destroyed at 1 via Matteotti civico, in Cinisello Balsamo, in close proximity to a populated mosque.”
The incident had an immediate ripple effect: “People have already strongly reacted across social networks. They are outraged at this new blow to their deepest feelings, to their beliefs. People can’t take it anymore.”
Nor did the municipality’s Councillor Giuseppe Berlin of the civil list “Your Town” mince words:
It’s time to put an end to the do-gooders’ policies of welcoming and integrating by a certain political party. Before we put a show of unity with Muslims, let’s have them begin by respecting our civilization and our culture. We shouldn’t minimize the importance of certain signals; we must wake up now or our children will suffer the consequences of this dangerous and uncontrolled Islamic invasion.
“Before we put a show of unity with Muslims” it’s worth READING their ideology, and the *explicit religious bigotry, religious hatred, and calls for religious VIOLENCE* in Muhammad’s Koran. I can’t believe people in positions of responsibility border on being functionally illiterate, or can’t even take the time to read Muhammad’s own words after civilization has suffered so much Islamic terrorism, mass-murder, and gang-rapes (all acting on Muhammad’s practice and teachings) in just the past 13 years.
If anyone actually read what Muhammad has to say in his Koran, they would realize that Islam can *never* reconcile with civilization, let alone tolerate other religions (nor atheists) as equals. Thanks to Mr. Ibrahim for this article – I guess the faintest realization of the truth is dawning on the Italian elites.
Not all Muslims are prone to violence, but there isn’t any serious debate among the Muslim communities regarding the validity of the verses in the Koran/Quran and in the Hadiths, which incite to disrespect, distrust and even to outrighit killing of the “unbelievers”, which is itself a disparaging term for peoples of other religious beliefs or for atheists.
No but plenty are prone to stand by watching whilst islamist butchers do their work.
For me trust is an issue when it comes to islam
You´re right. Their silence is telling. It is a deafening silence, which makes the entire Muslim community accomplice.
Hmmm. I’m not sure I’d go that far. I would like to think that there are plenty of good muslims out there who are unable to act through fear if reprisals.
I don’t hold out much hope if we are to rely on humanist, progressive muslims to change things.
Well when I say community I mean it as a collective reponsibility. There surely are some liberal, humanist Muslims, but they are a minority fearing reprisals as you mention. The fact is the liberals among them have lost the political control inside their community to the traditionalist Muslims edging toward a violent expansion of Islam. There are always plenty pretexts at hand when advocating a global Jihad against Non-Muslims, and the Western governments, especially the US, have made foreign policy mistakes like the invasion of Iraq and Afghanistan, which fuelled the fundamentalists in the Middle East.
However the Islamist jihady movement predates the American invasions in the Middle East. You can trace it downward to the Soviet intervention in Afghanistan (1979-1989), and even before to the late sixties in Egypt.
I suspect this surge of Islamic expansionism and terrorism is a long lasting phenomenon which did not spent yet its ideological combustion.
I’m not disagreeing with you. It was more hope in humanity than the reality. I suspect your reality is nearer the truth. Its just a shame it has come to this because the horrors that both sides will have to unleash are inevitable if either is to chieve their aim.
How about all the way back to islam’s invention. The Crusades were in response to muslem aggression and “jihad”. Mark Twain, Thomas Jefferson wrote about muslims. Don’t blame their evil “movement” on America.
Charles Martel, savior of Europe..
The problem is that within the Quran there are verses that actually condone and encourage lying and misleading the infidel “kaffar” in the service of broadening Allah and the domain of Islam. That being the case even the moderate/Non violent muslims are not necessarily trustworthy and nor do they necessarily intergrate and become a part of western society. They can lie in wait and breed and increase their numbers until our own democracies act against if not by violence then Islam by stealth is still Islam. The average Muslim family has 3-4 children whereas the average western family will have 2 you do the math 🙁
I agree with you. I was more hope in vain that this may be a terrible terrible dream.
Let’s be really blunt. Every time the word INFIDEL rolls off a Muslims lips, it is no different than the word NIGGER rolling off the lips of a Klansman.
THINK ABOUT THAT.
The terror mosques would be demanding “hate crime” charges if someone did as much as spray paint.
I read that in Sweden, immigrants number at 20%, and they are now attacking the native Swedish population. Everybody better wake up. They pass thru Muslim countries headed to Western civilization, where they will attempt to change everything you hold dear and sacred.
