This sort of thing gets an energetic police response. Much more so than rapes and murders of young British girls.

It’ll go silent when they find out it was a muzzie false flag.

...and so it begins. The Islamic side has already been burning down the churches. Blowback was inevitable.

If it had been a church the police would have arrested the fire department for responding.

Of course not. Why do you ask? (/sarc)

False flag is very likely. But is might also be sectarian, Shiite versus Sunni or even Hindu versus Muslim.

That’s terrible, now they’re going to think they’re not welcome. Or that people really don’t care for their violent cult. It’s a shame I tell ya…

RE: The Islamic side has already been burning down the churches.

Far worse than I imagined.
///////////////////////////////////////////////////////////

From National Churches Trust in Britain:

“Between 2022 and 2025, there were 3,237 combined incidents of arson, vandalism, and criminal damage recorded at places of worship across the United Kingdom.”

“While a specific, single-year figure for arson alone is not isolated in official crime figures, specialist insurer Ecclesiastical notes that well over a hundred UK churches are targeted by arsonists and deliberate fires each year.”

“The Countryside Alliance found that churches and religious sites endured nearly 4,000 crimes overall last year. Additionally, a 2025 report by the Observatory on Intolerance and Discrimination against Christians in Europe (OIDAC Europe) highlighted an ongoing, continent-wide spike in anti-Christian hate crimes, which includes notable arson attacks targeting UK church buildings.”

Again I reference the two scenes in the first Death Wish.
Paul Kersey can’t get much help from two or three detectives in a deserted room to look into his wife’s murder and his daughter’s rape and going into catatonia.

Then after TV and print media sensational stories of the vigilante solving crimes and stopping thugs, there is an overcrowded room of dozens of detectives hearing an update about finding the mystery man.

And nothing about the Notre Dame and other cathedrals burning. It was just “a carelessly disposed of cigarette.”

When I lived in Germany. The first thing the muzzies invaders did was vandalize the local village church. There was never, NEVER, a polizei investigation. Even when the muzzie turds burned them. It is happening all over Europe. But a s hole terror head quarter mosque. Every police resource is used. Burn the mosques, kick out every turd world muzzie, and reclaim Europe.
