Bone fragments attributed to Saint Nicolas were stolen from a church in France, then allegedly burned and crushed.
Priests at Saint Nicolas de Port, one of France's few sanctuaries to hold a relic of the saint, reported the theft of a reliquary containing a fragment of the saint's body on November 2.
Police later arrested the suspect, who reportedly admitted acting spontaneously out of a 'desire to destroy' the relic because he viewed devotion to the bones as a form of idol worship.
Saint Nicolas, the inspiration behind Santa Claus, lived between 270 and 343 AD and is famous for inheriting money, giving it to the poor, and, in particular, for the story of how he gave three girls bags of gold to save them from a life of prostitution...
The church desecration comes just weeks before the Feast of Saint Nicolas, which marks the anniversary of his death.
The incident is also the latest in a string of high-profile thefts, vandalism and arson attacks targeting Christian heritage sites across France.

Dunno. Mostly it pertains to the banning of capital punishment in much of Europe.
“mohammed”
Nope.
Muslims do the work of their god, to steal, kill, and destroy.
History is replete with examples of it.
Specifically, the "suspect" - who is an illegal alien from Africa - stated that the adoration of relics was "not in alignment with the precepts of Islam," adding, "and all unbelievers must be put to the sword!"
Nice, how the journalist reformulates that to "blunt the edge."

Nice tag...
If you stab a Muslim, does it matter to him if the blade is covered in lard? Asking for a friend.
According to my calendar, it’s just before Thanksgiving, not Christmas.
Sure, but it’s in France, who knows what they do over there. They’ve got irreplaceable human remains layin’ around and don’t lock their doors. 😀
The connection between Cheddar Man and the modern resident of the neighborhood, a Mr. Targett, is through the mitochondrial DNA, so Mr. Targett is not a direct descendant since mtDNA is passed from mother to child only. He had one mutation difference. There found two exact matches but they were children so they didn’t want them exposed to media publicity.
I am sure part of the reason St Nicholas was targeted was his most famous act (he did a lot) of charity was noticing the plight of three young Muslim women who did not have money for a dowry and had a bleak future.
The Muslim women had hung up their stockings to dry and St Nicholas sneaked by and dropped gold coins in each of their stockings, saving the women from a dire fate.
The Love of Christ, shown by many Christians (in this case, a Bishop) is not something Muslims like to advertise, given they worship a god of death and murder. Makes allah look like the false god that he is.
he viewed devotion to the bones as a form of idol worship.

Obviously another muslim doing his duty by destroying western culture where ever its found.
