There is no telling who could have done this, but it could be a member of France’s increasingly restive Muslim migrant population. 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 their saying, ‘Indeed, we have killed the Messiah, Jesus, the son of Mary, the messenger of Allah.’ And they did not kill him, nor did they crucify him; but another was made to resemble him to them. And indeed, those who differ over it are in doubt about it. They have no knowledge of it except the following of assumption. And 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.
“The cross of the village of Lias broken in 4 pieces,” translated from “La croix du village de Lias brisée en 4 morceaux,” La Depeche, March 30, 2024:
The Lias cross installed on one of the main places in the village lies in four pieces, following an act of vandalism.
The village of Lias was the scene of an act of vandalism which left its inhabitants both sad and angry. In the early morning of March 26, the cross that adorned one of the main places for generations was found on the ground, unsealed from its pedestal and broken into four pieces. It was not a simple cross; it was a benchmark, a symbol of the history and continuity of the village. Mayor Gérard Paul, faced with this loss, did not hide his emotion: “This cross was more than a religious representation, it was the soul of our village since it has been around there for decades.” The reasons for this act remain unknown. The restoration of the cross will have a cost for the town and its inhabitants, recalling the previous acts of vandalism which saw the destruction of topiaries and flower beds, efforts of local associations to embellish the village.

Our Christian Lands near rescuing from the I slam invaders and occupiers.

My advice to the mayor….. grow a spine and do something about this.
Spiro says
We hope he has the guts to do just that

Lets detect….a disgruntled, French man, who doesn’t like crosses or flowers or bushes neatly cropped into special shapes.
Since the cross has been there “for decades,”…not likely to have been a long-time Frenchman in the area.
Someone who hates beauty and Christian places and symbols which identify with Jesus and His peaceful promises. Perhaps a relatively new resident who just discovered the things he hates and while no one is watching, expresses the hatred.
Round up the usual suspects….mozlums who see themselves as superior to, and filled with hatred for others, esp Christians and Jews, and believe they have the right to “steal, kill and destroy” as does their father, the “thief.”
Hoi Polloi says
Sending them out to small villages and next up, the war on Christianity spreads. But don’t smudge their book or draw a line of Mo the man. So peaceful.
somehistory says
Right on, HP.
It’s bound to get worse as more and more mozlums are sent to the little villages where they discover so many things they hate and no one to stop them from destroying.
Rape and other crimes are soon to follow against the Christians in those small villages..
Hoi Polloi says
I fear it will.
tharmon says
I don’t know if one has to be a psycho to be Muslim but I’m sure it helps.
Jayell1 says
It would certainly help if this bunch of islamic psychos got a taste of their own medicine..
abu taleb says
It is not only the muslims who are hostile to the Christians, but also the pagan left who support satanism, child mutilations, racism etc.
rick says
Europeans allowed Muslims to enter their countries much like illegals are now entering the US – in mass numbers and no vetting of who they are. The stupidity of the Swedes, Germans, French, etc. will come back to haunt them. Now Swedish prisons are full of Muslim rapists. Swedish Muslim gangs have increased robberies in both Sweden and Norway. Muslims showed who they are in just a few months after entering Germany during the Cologne riots, sexual harassment and reports of rapes. Europe is for Arab and non Arab Muslims like an open candy store for children. Free and take what you want. And public supproted welfare makes their lives much nicer.
violet says
Shame on the govt’s that permitted these enemies into your countries
OLD GUY says
Coming to a neighborhood near YOU, sooner than you think. Our political leaders have not backbone to stand up against anyone put the weak. If Christians continue to be meek and mild we will continue to be the target and receive no help from our government. Politicians seem to only pay attention to those who are the loudest or pose the biggest threat to THEM.
