Throughout Europe attacks on Christian symbols, churches and religious markers and statues are taking place. Many sources report that where immigrant populations are rising, so is the attack on Christianity.
In 2018, French police reported that 1,063 of France’s churches and cemeteries were vandalized, almost 200 more than in 2017. In Germany over 100 Chruch attacks in 2017 (latest figures released). PINews of Germany reports that “around 200 church abuses are currently reported annually in Bavaria alone. Crosses are broken, altars are smashed, Bibles are lit, baptismal fonts are overturned and the church doors are smeared with Islamic expressions like “Allahu Akbar.” AfD of Germany reports that church walls and doors “are desecrated with human feces.”
The PI-News reports “Hardly anyone writes and speaks about the increasing attacks on Christian symbols. There is an eloquent silence in both France and Germany about the scandal of the desecration’s and the origin of the perpetrators…. Not a word, not even the slightest hint that could in any way lead to the suspicion of migrants… It is not the perpetrators who are in danger of being ostracized, but those who dare to associate the desecration of Christian symbols with immigrant imports. They are accused of hatred, hate speech and racism.”
Many fear unless abated this could spell the end of Christian-Western culture.
