No legitimate reason for this destructive act.

Just an expression of religious freedom from "The Religion of Peace".

Sigh, an example of interfaith cooperation when Muslims are the majority.

The fact that it was a Cross was cause enough for its destruction in the minds of these people.

One of our parishioners, a young woman who is very special to my family, is over there in Albania on an OCMC mission for two years. We've been afraid of this ever since she was sent there by the idiots who run the OCMC.

Excuse my ignorance, but what does OCMC stand for exactly?

Thanks Koloktronis. Actually I was kind of sure about the OC being Orthodox Christian, but I was mostly stuck on the MC bit. Thanks again for clearing that up for me :)

Wasn't some beautiful, centuries old fresco of Jesus destroyed in Kosovo a while ago?

Odd... not a single mention of "Islam" or "Muslim" in an article about a non-Muslim religious symbol being destroyed. Hmmm....

Yes, the fresco of Christ the Savior in Ljeviska Mother of God Cathedral.

It is no ordiary fresco. It shows La Renaissance originated in Serbia, before La Renaissance officialy started in Italy several decades later.

Savages. That was beautiful and holy art. Do you know when that was painted.
