BREITBART NOTRE-DAME BURNSZOMBIE MAY’S HALLOWEEN BREXITEU ELECTIONSREADY FOR NO DEAL?BRITISH INTERNET FIREWALL Macron’s France: Average of Three Church Attacks Per Day 6,958 A picture taken on January 17, 2017 shows a snow-covered crucifix outside a church in the city of Mouthe, also dubbed 'Petite Siberie', renowned as the coldest town in France. The cold snap coming from Central Europe is generating temperatures of 5 to 10 degrees below the seasonal average, according …SEBASTIEN BOZON/AFP/Getty Images CHRIS TOMLINSON30 Mar 20191,443 2:29 French churches are coming increasingly under attack with an average of nearly three churches per day targetted for vandalism alone over the past three years.

A report from the Central Criminal Intelligence Service (SCRC) of the gendarmerie noted that from 2016 to 2018 there had been thousands of cases of church vandalism, peaking in 2017 with 1,045 cases, Le Figaro reports.

According to the French Ministry of the Interior, when cemeteries and other sites are taken into consideration, the number of acts of vandalism rose to 1,063 in 2018.

Earlier this year, in one week alone France saw twelve churches vandalised, including attackers attempting to set fire to the church of Saint-Sulpice in Paris.

In Nimes, an even more heinous attack occurred, with vandals smearing faeces on the wall of the church of Notre-Dame des Enfants and stealing objects from the altar.

In March, the over 800-year-old Basilica of Saint-Denis in the now heavily migrant-populated suburbs of Paris was also vandalised, with the basilica’s organ being heavily damaged and stained glass windows were broken.

Thefts of religious objects have seen an increase since 2016, rising from 121 to 129 in 2018. According to the gendarmes, the thefts are mostly opportunistic, and in some rare cases are carried out by organised crime groups.

Notre Dame was also the target of Muslim arsons three years ago, while they were in court in the past 48 hours.

Obviously, France has too many Churches—if France would simply remove most of them, then the number of attacks would go down.

Destroy the holiest muslim site in France. Announce that the next church that gets hit will face a crusades style ass whoopin. It will end in an afternoon..one way or another.

It sucks that Notre Dame burned, but it’s more important that Emmanuel Macron and his old lady endure.

Muslims have picnics and play soccer on the Temple Mount right next to the Dome of the Rock. The Saudis destroy almost 100% of Islamic history to turn Mecca into a money making industry. The only thing that would work would be destroying the Kaaba and the black stone.

Yeah, some Nazis did something to six million Jews.

They can't get over it apparently.

"France’s warrior class died in Flanders fields a century ago."

Just wait til you incur the wrath of their waiters.

You won't be laughing then.

Six hours later you'll still be waiting for the check.

I do not see any reason that would work.
