Large cross on Lesbos leveled to the ground because it could be 'offensive to Muslim migrants'

Voice of Europe ^ | 11 October 2018

Woman poet Sappho was from Lesbos Hence the source of the term for homosexual women as she was allegedly overly fond of her own sex.

The spirits of LaVallette and his Knights Hospitaller who defended Malta alone against the muslim hordes of Suleiman the Magnificent must be thrilled to see that christian symbols are being demolished because muslims don’t like them.

[Junk Silver]

Did anyone else initially mis-read the headline like I did?

I assumed that a story about large, cross lesbos had to do with more of those stupid anti-Kavanaugh protests.

Let's see if they can get these statues toppled:

This after a group claiming to promote intercultural coexistence argued that the cross could be perceived as offensive to the predominantly Muslim boat migrants.

What was that about intercultural coexistence again? I can't hear you over the sound of Christian culture being destroyed.

[Bellflower]

Did they destroy the Cross legally, or illegally? It’s totally wrong either way, but I am wondering if the perpetrators can be arrested and the Cross rebuilt. Whoever was behind this need consequence.

Islam is a war plan. Don’t capitulate.

[Secret Agent Man]

So fuching what if godam savage moslems are offended or not?

Its OK, crosses are sungod worship, not ‘christian’ in any way.

Yeshua was hung on a “T” bar that was dropped on top of a post that was permanently set in the rock.

Get the damn Muslims OUT!!!!

Where’s the 300 when you need them?

[Carriage Hill]

Muslims are for killing; all of them.

Wait a minute... I’ve seen this movie before!

[virgil]

So much for coexistence. More leftist hypocrisy.

it is stated that
1) the crucifix was build in September 2018
2) it was vandalized by “someone”
3) appeals have been made to the Greek Orthodox Church to open an account for people to donate money for a new larger crucifix

“someone” is trying to make a mountain out of a molehill, why?

[Eric in the Ozarks]

Shameful.

If immigrants don’t like it here, then get the heck out.
