St. Monica Catholic Church's track team on Monday passes by a decapitated Virgin Mary statue partially covered with a plastic bag. Police are investigating the vandalism as a hate crime. Police believe the head was cut off sometime Sunday morning before Easter services. photo by Brandon Wise.

Mary without a head: still smarter than allah

ROP alert?

Maybe Catholic churches should start putting leather collars on their Mary statues to protect her. It would also send message and bring back the word “leatherneck.”

Not sure THAT was the wisest of decisions.

Time to blow up that ugly, black cardboard box they worship in Mecca.

Not sure I want to see the mother of Christ in a bondage scene. Although, I'm sure that would qualify for some kind of "arts" grant!

Those silly Buddhists at it again?................

Not a defender of Islam, but I'm willing to bet that this was more likely the work of punks instead of Muslims.

Probably not - islam reveres Mary. She is the only woman mentioned in the koran.

Catholic Ping
Please freepmail me if you want on/off this list

[mware]

Agreed. Actually Mary is held in high asteem by Islam.

I am furious at the intolerant turds who did this.

But there are no hate crimes in my lexicon.

There are just crimes....anything else is the purview of Thought Police, Newspeak, 1984, Brave New World etc.

[EyeGuy]

Perhaps.

Don’t know if punk vandals would recognize the significance of performing this deed on Easter.

But even “moderate” Muslims should know that when it comes to decapitation, one “faith” pops into mind immediately.

Police are looking for this man as a person of interest...

[kellynla]

You could cut the irony of this story with a knife...

Here you have the statue of Our Blessed Mother decapitated in the city named after Saint Monica. Of course, anyone who is familiar with Santa Monica knows what a Leftist toilet it is! And lets not forget that CINO's like RINOld attend Mass at this parish. It's a wonder the crucifix in the church hasn't fallen down by now.

Probably not - islam reveres Mary. She is the only woman mentioned in the koran.

There are a whole lotta converts running around with names like "Malik" and "Shabbaz" who don't have a clue what the Koran says or doesn't say. Converting to Islam is just a thing to do to show off your Blackness.

That said, this was done by a group. That statue would have required more than 2 people to move... probably 3 or 4, and maybe a truck.

The French??

[Never on my watch]

No, this fits the profile of the Amish extremists.

[Alex Murphy]

Maybe it was the work of these guys....

[mom4melody]

Oh, you’re right, I forgot about that group of wanna be muslims.
