In a Tiny French Village, Muslim Deface Christian Sites

In Clermont d’Excideuil, a tiny village (pop. 240) in the Dordogne, a quiet rural seat far from the cities where Muslims in France live, some Muslims came to town one night recently, in order to deface dozens of graves, a church door, and other sites dear to the Christian residents, with writings expressing Islamic supremacism. The villagers were startled and horrified. More on this latest Muslim outrage can be found here:

Villagers at a cemetery in Dordogne Department in southwest France were horrified that vandals painted Islamist slogans in French and Arabic on 58 graves, a church door, a World War I memorial and tomb art depicting the crucifixion.

The defacement happened overnight in Clermont d’Excideuil between March 10 and March 11.

A local church building near the cemetery had “Ramadan Mubarak” (“Blessed Ramadan”) daubed on its doors. Slogans within the cemetery included, “Submit yourselves to Allah,” “Happy Ramadan non-Muslims” and “Koufars,” meaning “unbelievers.” One of the grave slogans read, “France is already Allah’s,” according to British newspaper the Daily Mail.

Clermont d’Excideuil Mayor Claude Eymery discovered the vandalism on the morning of March 11 and contacted police. He told FranceInfo that he thought such incidents “only happened elsewhere.”…

This is another wake-up call to those in France who have consoled themselves with the thought that this Muslim menace about which they have heard “only happened elsewhere.” It is now happening all over France, even unto a village of 240 souls in a most rural part of France. Muslims can now strike everywhere with their supremacist messages. What could be clearer than the demand, or rather command, to “Submit yourselves to Allah” and the insult “Koufars” (non-Muslims) and the supremacist boast that “France is already Allah’s”?

Jeanne Cumet, a spokesperson for S.O.S Calvaires, an association that preserves, repairs and maintains French chapels, calvaries, oratories and fountains, said the vandalism was “very serious.”

“Think of all the damage done in just one overnight attack to this little village: 58 graves damaged, the doors of the church insultingly defaced with ‘Ramadan Mubarak,’ a World War I memorial defaced, and tomb art depicting the Crucifixion badly damaged.

“Christian cemeteries have been tagged with satanist or other messages, for example. But I’ve never heard of a Christian cemetery being tagged with Islamic references,” Cumet told Christian Daily International. “Jewish cemeteries, for example, are more frequently vandalized, but this kind of tagging in the Dordogne — as far as I’m concerned, it hasn’t happened for a long time, if ever.”…

“Vandalism of graves are very serious and show a total lack of respect for those who lie there,” Cumet said. “It’s the same disrespect shown to our heroes of the First World War and, of course, to the church. We cannot understand what happened in these people’s minds, to show such hatred towards Christians.”

Mme. Cumet, if at this point you and your colleagues at S.O.S. Calvaires still “cannot understand what happened in these people’s minds, to show such hatred toward Christians,” you have a lot to learn, like many – too many — of millions of others in France. For your own wellbeing, you need to immerse yourself in the texts and teachings of Islam, to understand the full scope of the threat within. Start by reading the Qur’an and the most important hadith in the most “authentic” (sahih) collections of Bukhari and Muslim. Find out why Muslims believe that they are the “best of peoples” (3:110) and non-Muslims “the most vile of created beings” (98:6). Discover why Muslims believe that Islam will everywhere come to dominate, and Muslims rule, everywhere. That will certainly help you to understand the nature, and extent, of the threat posed to the indigenous people and civilization of France by the millions of Muslim migrants who have been allowed to settle in the country, deep behind what are, in their view, enemy lines.

The vandals mainly targeted the [sic] Catholicism, she said.

“The weirdo could have tagged the walls of the town hall, the post office or the school, but he or she chose Christian symbols,” she said….

He was no “weirdo,” no outlier, no fluke. He (and perhaps several others who may have helped him) were merely expressing in paint the contempt and hatred for non-Muslims that the texts and teachings of Islam inculcate. Those signs, at the same time, express a supremacist boast: “France is already Allah’s.”

France has seen a rise in anti-Christian hate crimes with Islamist motives in recent years, according to Anja Hoffmann, executive director of the Observatory on Intolerance and Discrimination against Christians in Europe (OIDACE). She said similar graffiti was recently found in the Dordogne region, including, “Today this is the land of gwer [infidels]. Tomorrow this will be the land of Islam.”

“All these slogans express a claim of superiority of Islam and the targeting of Christians as ‘unbelievers’ or ‘infidels,’ which is common in Islamist extremism,” Hoffman told Christian Daily International. “It seems worrying that the country’s secularist elite, and especially left-wing intellectuals, do not want to acknowledge this dimension of the aggression.”

The leftists in France are virulently anti-Catholic, while at the same time, for some reason, they feel called upon to defend Muslims and Islam from those who regard Muslim believers as a threat to the indigenous people of France. Jean-Luc Mélenchon, leader of the far-left party La France Insoumise, is one such anticlerical leftist who can always be called upon not just to spout pro-Islam sentiments, but also an anti-Israel animus that spills over into antisemitism. It’s a no longer a surprising phenomenon, this alliance in many European countries between the far left and the Muslims.
