Senegal is 97% Muslim.
The cross is an affront to Islam. The Qur’an claims that Jesus was not crucified, although in somewhat equivocal language for what is supposed to be the perfect word of an omniscient god:
“And because of their saying, We killed the Messiah, Jesus son of Mary, the messenger of Allah, they did not kill him nor crucify him, but it seemed so to them, and indeed, those who disagree about this are in doubt about it, they have no knowledge of it except pursuit of a supposition, they did not kill him for certain.” (4:157)
And a hadith depicts Muhammad saying: “The Hour will not be established until the son of Mary (i.e. Jesus) descends amongst you as a just ruler, he will break the cross, kill the pigs, and abolish the Jizya tax. Money will be in abundance so that nobody will accept it (as charitable gifts).” (Bukhari 46.37.2476)
This means he will destroy Christianity (break the cross), force the Christians to obey the Islamic food laws (kill the pigs) and end the second-class dhimmi status (abolish the jizya) that Islamic law specifies for Christians, such that they will either have to convert to Islam or be killed.
“About thirty desecrated graves in the Saint-Louis cemetery, in Évreux,” translated from “Une trentaine de tombes dégradées au cimetière Saint-Louis, à Évreux,” Paris Normandie, March 10, 2023:
A man was arrested. He was caught desecrating graves in the Saint-Louis cemetery in Évreux.
Thirty graves in the Saint-Louis cemetery in Évreux were desecrated on Wednesday March 8, 2023. A 39-year-old man was arrested by the police.
It was just after 10:30 a.m. when the police intervened at the Saint-Louis cemetery in the city center, after witnesses reported several damages. The man in his thirties had just unscrewed, even torn off, crucifixes on around 30 tombstones.
The alleged perpetrator is a 39-year-old Senegalese national, homeless, in an irregular situation. He was arrested and taken into custody. The police could not hear the man in his thirties. His custody was lifted due to his mental health condition. The individual was hospitalized. He should be heard later, when his condition allows it.

This man could well be seriously mentally ill, but only mentally ill Muslims are likely to behave in such a way and target the graves of non-Muslims because Muslims are brought up on the hatred (in the Koran) for non-members of islam, that evil reilgious ideology. I have never heard of a Buddhist person, suffering from a mental illness, desecrating the graves of some other religion. There is also the report, again in France, just below this one, of the Muslim causing trouble in a Christian church. islam plainly teaches hate for all non-Muslims throughout the Koran and that is why this keeps happening with the followers of islam. They are not worth the trouble they constantly bring to all non-Muslim countries. They are brought up to hate which is the main message of the Koran.

To Tim Gallagher- Well stated and thank you.
tim gallagher says
Thanks, Linde B. I’m sure that the reason that incidents like this one keep happening (along with all the terrorist attacks, etc) with Muslims is because of this hate which is central to islam. When it read parts of the Koran, the main impression that i came away with was of the constant hate towards non-Muslims in that book and calls to go out and kill them.
Stefan Christoff says
You’re damn right! Absolutely correct. This instigates supremacism and hatred toward non-Muslims and above all toward Christians and Jews.
Zoran Anzelc says
I couldn’t agree more with you, Sir.
notoislam says
It is my hope that they keep mooslems out of non muslim countries! Then kill any of the tress-passers and dump them into the sea. Shariah condones any violent act against non-muslims and we need to do the same. They are raised there to be common traitors and robbers.

Islam is a religion of fear and hate. To me, this automatically pushes it out of the religious sphere and into the tyrannical despot arena. Why would a religion be so concerned with what unbeliever’s think or do? Many Christians and jews probably believe you will go to hell if you don’t believe, but there is typically no religous fervor to destroy those of other religions. Buddism respects all life. Hindu’s also don’t get to nirvanna by killing unbelievers. Why is Islam the only religion of murder and hate? More importantly, why is China in alliance with the Islamic State when it is against all religion other than worshipping their own leaders? I believe Islamics typically aren’t too bright, but their hate has sustained them through the millenniums. They are also brainwashed by fear and hate from birth. China also rules by fear so they understand the muslims. If China accomplishes its goal of world domination, what will happen to their allies, the Islamic state? Only a fool can’t answer that question.

To Wendy Lofgren- You said it very well. Thank you.

Well said, wendy. As someone who was brought up as Christian and a Catholic, (still am a Christian) I do recall, years ago (I am 72 years old) that it used to be said that people would be likely to go to Hell if they didn’t believe. I think that that is all gone these days and we are meant to follow our conscience, which makes far more sense to me. But the difference with islam is the calls in the Koran to go out and kill the non-believers. In Christianity, I believe that it was left up to God to judge people, but islam calls for Muslims to kill non-believers. The attitude is entirely different. I see islam as a religion, since Muslims believe in a god, this evil thing called allah, but, like the old Aztec religion and several other religions throughout history, it is an evil religion. It is definitely also a totalitarian ideology which wants to impose its barbaric garbage on everybody. To my mind, although I do meet some pleasant Muslims, islam is a menace and a danger to all non-Muslims and is nothing but endless trouble.
wendy says
Thanks for the reply, and yes I agree some muslims are good people, of course. However, they enable the violence and murder by remaining silent. Therefore, they are complicit. If an evil Christian cult pops up I’m going to be the first one to loudly reject it. You are also right about evil religions. The satanists are now fighting to be a legitimate religion, they are another example.
tim gallagher says
I agree with what you say, wendy. I have to say that i never really trust any Muslims and the ones I have met and found pleasant are not people I know well. I can find no redeeming features in islam and you are right about how the Muslims, by remaining silent and supporting islam, are complicit in evil.I can see nothing good in islam and see it as a primitive, barbaric load of garbage, a throwback to mankind’s more primitive past.
Frances Weingarten says
Muslims can do their lives as they choose but what they CAnnot do is tell anyone else what they should do!!!!
As long as Muslims accept this, all will be well!!!
Frances Weingarten says
Muslims can do their lives as they choose but what they Cannot do is tell anyone else what they should do
tim gallagher says
The problem is, Frances, that Muslims will never act that way. They are out to impose islam on all of us, not to live a tolerant live and let live style of life. That is the way they have acted for the entire 1400 years that islam has been around and that is the way they always will behave.
OLD GUY says
Yes there is no such thing as a moderate islamic muslim, they are all supporting the hate and violence through their funding of mosques and their silence.

No one can fake a crucifixion. The crucified person keeps pushing up with his feet as long as he is able (called the dance of crucifixion). When they run out of gas from lack of water, energy, consciousness, or whatever, they can no longer dance, and so they suffocate. It is very easy for anyone to see.
The person who modified the Quran with this passage was obviously ignorant about crucifixion. The Muslims would know this, because they crucify people all the time (yes, even today). The fact that they say nothing about it, demonstrates sheer bigotry.

Were somone to desecrate the graves of my family members in this way, it would be the last mistake they ever made.
