French Artist’s Calls For Peace Ends in Brutal Beating By Local Muslims

It was very offensive and local Muslims demanded he take it down.

Four Muslims in Porte Dorée (the Golden door), a ghetto east of Paris, beat artist Combo after he refused to take down his Coexist street art. Combo suffered a dislocated shoulder, bruises and a black eye. Artnet reported, via Jihad Watch:

It seems like something one would be hard pressed to disagree with: the word “coexist,” written on a wall using a Muslim crescent as the letter “C,” a Star of David as the letter “X,” and a Christian cross as a “T.”

But in Paris, this particular iteration of the popular inscription—here, created by the street artist Combo, who also pasted a life-size photo of himself next to it—didn’t go down well with everybody. Le Monde reports that four young people asked the artist to remove it last weekend, and beat him up severely when he refused to do so.

Combo ended up with a dislocated shoulder and many bruises.

The attack is characteristic of the inter-religious tensions that plague France and have been exacerbated by the Charlie Hebdo tragedy (see 12 Killed at Magazine Previously Attacked for Satirical Cartoons). Combo declined to discuss the identity of his assailants. “It would only add fuel to the fire,” he told the French newspaper.

Well, I’ve heard Brian Williams say it’s a religion of peace, and he’s a proven liar.

Re your great graphic in post #25

FR’s can print up either or both and use as window clinger or an iron on transfer if your printer has a reverse image capability. And depending upon the type of ink which is water resistant even a bumper sticker.
All those materials can be purchased at your local Walmart

Your Day In The Religion Of Peace and Peaceableness.

The only “peace” Islam desires is submission to ol’ Mo and Allah.

All the rest is commentary.

These people are caricatures of themselves.

The jokes really do write themselves.

But remember, the “no-go zones” don’t exist, so don’t dare say they do. Or else someone might get their feelings hurt!
