Vandals Deface Three Indiana Christian Churches with Islamic Graffiti
Breitbart's Big Peace ^ | September 1, 2014 | Kate O'Hare

Posted on 09/01/2014 10:29:26 PM PDT by 2ndDivisionVet

Sometime on Saturday night, vandals attacked three Christian houses of worship in Columbus, Indiana, spray-painting the word "infidels" and citations of verses from the Koran on the outer walls.

St. Bartholomew Catholic Church, Lakeview Church of Christ, and East Columbus Christian Church all had the word "infidels" spray-painted on them, in places of prominence to be seen by worshipers.

Cited in the Indianapolis Star, Columbus police spokesperson Matt Harris said that church employees discovered the vandalism when they arrived to prepare for Sunday services.

At St. Bartholomew, the words "Qur'an 3:151" were also left.

That verse reads:

We will cast terror into the hearts of those who disbelieve for what they have associated with Allah of which He had not sent down [any] authority. And their refuge will be the Fire, and wretched is the residence of the wrongdoers.

Speaking to WTHR, Channel 13, the Columbus NBC affiliate, associate pastor Father Doug Marcotte said, "It is certainly not a warm and fuzzy verse. It talks about the infidels, their refuge being the fire."

There was no Koran verse painted on the Lakeview Church but "Qu'ran 19:88" was left on East Columbus Christian Church....

“This is starting to scare the shit out of me.”

Don’t be scared. Be angry. And be ready.

Not every Muslim is a terrorist

Eradication of the cult of islam is becoming an imperative in order that there shall be some form of peace. There will be no form of peace as long as islam exists and all world leaders, not of islam, know this as a fact but refuse to speak of this. Has to be fear of 1.2 billion people, a fear of eradication of the cult of islam or both. A sane individual, not of islam, realizes a form of peace is realized only when the cult of islam is eradicated and that without islam there is a stronger opportunity for a form of peace. With the existence of islam no chance there will ever be a form of something known as peace. Meanwhile islam grows stronger with each passing day.

Embrace diversity. (Even though it will probably bite you back)

Headline of the article immediately below this one on the Forum page:

"Scores killed as Boko Haram insurgents overrun Nigerian town: sources"

Coincidence?

The bastards WILL try it here. Buy guns, buy ammo, practice.

In the West. But Christianity is growing rapidly in China and Africa. There are now more Catholics in China than in the US, and twice as many Protestants as Catholics.

The problem of Mohammedanism is only new to us. The Christians in the East have been aware of the nature of Mohammedanism for 1300 years.

---Am I that influenced by bright colors or am I tuning into a more ominous vibe?--- The thing is, you don't know, so that's unnerving.

I work with an international company and work with several Mohammedans. The one woman always looks at me like she wants to kill me... At least that's the vibe I get.

What you typed is true and this is why non-believers are seeing a re-emergence of islam and their tactics. islam believes the numbers are on their side with 1.2 billion plus following the cult thus islam believes their time of movement is currently possible and their goals attainable. Anyone of the cult of islam is a threat to civilization, regrettably. The longer leaders, not of islam, refuse to tell their people the truth the more deaths will occur of the not of islam variety. I wouldd prefer the deaths go the opposite direction and away from people not of islam. islam should die and be cut out from the planet as the cancer it is.

I put my hand on the you-know-what in my pocket when I see that.

Just in case.

With the influx of murderous muslims into our country, the time has arrived that churches should hire armed guards for protection during worship services.

Down here, many of the deacons/elders/trustees, ushers, ministers, Sunday School staff and others are already carrying weapons.

Frankly I’m sorry I’ve lived long enough to be aware that something like this is needed.

We are in such trouble.

One of my best friends is a Pentecostal in Mesquite and serves as an usher at his larger-than-average church. He says they're all carrying at least 9mm.

First off, no, they will not strike into my heart any terror.

And second, their random word generator is working just fine.

WE have a lot of head coverings showing up here in Syracuse NY.

There’s a mosque right on the edge of the SU campus.

I think that the black is much more oppressive and to me would indicate a hard core muslim, rather than a cultural one.

I don’t blame you one bit for feeling uncomfortable. I would have too.

They are the coldest, most unfriendly people I have ever encountered.

In the stores, they won't look at you, never look you in the eye. Just walk by as if you are nothing more than a piece of furniture or an endcap display.

They obviously quite the high opinion of themselves and low one of you.

The contempt is palpable.
