The report below says that the attacker’s nationality and citizenship status are not known, and identifies the attacker only as a “dark-skinned man.” It also identifies the attacker as mentally ill. Austria has had mentally ill non-Muslims for centuries. They don’t generally attack and destroy crucifixes.
If, however, this attacker was a Muslim, as he is identified in the title of the YouTube video, he would have ample reason for his attack without being mentally ill at all. The Qur’an says that Jesus was not actually crucified (4:157), and a hadith has Muhammad predicting that Jesus will return at the end of the world and break the cross, as it is an insult to Allah’s power to say that he would have allowed one of his prophets to be crucified:
Narrated Abu Huraira: Allah’s Apostle said, “By Him in Whose Hands my soul is, son of Mary [Jesus] will shortly descend amongst you people [Muslims] as a just ruler and will break the Cross and kill the pig and abolish the Jizya [a tax taken from the non-Muslims, who are in the protection, of the Muslim government]. Then there will be abundance of money and nobody will accept charitable gifts. (Bukhari 3.34.425)
Muslims have sometimes taken this to mean not just that crosses will be destroyed in the end time,s but that they should be now. In Spain in 2015, Muslims broke into a church, spray-painted “Allah” on wall, and destroyed the crucifix. In Pakistan in 2014, Muslims destroyed a church that was under construction, and desecrated the cross. When the Islamic State occupied Mosul, it made destruction of all crosses in the city a top priority.
Islam is not a race and there are Muslims from all races, but Europe is busy bringing in huge numbers of Muslim “refugees,” among whom are knowable numbers of jihadis. Many of these will be “dark-skinned men” who consider the cross to be an offense to Allah, and the crucifix nothing more than an idol. Some of these will think that they can please Allah by destroying such abominations.
“VIDEO from the Stmk! Man beats brutally on cross of Jesus,” translated from “VIDEO aus der Stmk! Mann schlägt brutal auf Jesuskreuz ein,” Wochen Blick, May 9, 2017:
A video posted on Facebook shows the horror: in the video, a man with a wooden stick strikes a cross of Jesus cross, repeatedly and unrestrained.
The recording is supposed to have been recorded on Tuesday “in St. Marein near Graz before the NMS and Volksschule after Schulende,” according to the Facebook user who published the video!
Nationality still unknown
Many users think that in the video a dark-skinned man can be recognized. The background of his citizenship and nationality are not yet known.
“What do you think?,” asks the user. Facebook users are shocked; the woman’s video has already been shared over 1,000 times. According to reports from the newspaper, “Unser Tirol 24” is a 37-year-old.
Property damage well over 15,000 euros
“The 37-year-old from the Weiz district snapped at the parsonage of St. Marein. He tore several artistically designed windows from the anchoring and thereby damaged several flower pots. Then he struck a cross and Jesus figure with a wooden stick and destroyed it. Then he smashed the two glass doors of the rectory with one of the organ pipes,” the newspaper reports.
The detectives, who had been informed by witnesses, subdued the apparently insane man and seized him. He was taken to a hospital. The property damage is currently estimated at well over 15,000 euros….

Again mental illness. When is Europe going to wake up before all symbols of Christianity are destroyed.
blitz2b says
It’s too late! …
Europe is dead… Europeans have no spine nor do their men have any gonads.
It’s only a matter of time now. Doomsday is fast approaching the cowards of Europe who have broken down the gates of their stronghold, let in the Trojan horse and are celebrating diversity in their drunken stupor.
They still have no clue of the insidious nature of the ideology they have allowed to infiltrate their societies.
Islam will be the dominant cult of most of Europe in less than fifty years….
There will be civil wars and monarchs of Europe will flee in exile… Including the coward Pope Francis.
E.L.O says
yes! COWARDS! in almost all Europe!
laura ann says
I have said the same thing, cowardly, gelded men in Europe do nothing, commenting on various sites. The site gatesofvienna.net commented back to me 6 mo. ago and told me not to say this in my comments again, that Euro men are do nothing sissified cowards. I since deleted the site from my computer. The site is apparently compromising with the bad guys now, because men from Europe complained about my comments, some no doubt were Muslim invaders. They cannot be trusted if they are slanted, period. France voted in a pro Muslim leader. Europe wants an Islamic state. I see it happening by end of this decade, no later. Europe has sold their soul.
gravenimage says
Laura Ann, I think it unlikely that Anti-Jihadists at the Gates of Vienna are actually Muslim invaders.
There *are* European patriots trying to take their civilized countries back.
Do you consider Geert Wilders a sissified coward?
Anne Smith says
Not entirely true. Many Europeans are horrified at the invasion by Muslims but successive Governments have tied their hands by draconian laws, forbidding anyone to own any sort of weapon or even to defend their own home.
Consequently most people are just watching in horror, unable to do much about it, other than become keyboard warriors.
blitz2b says
@Anne Smith “…Not entirely true. Many Europeans are horrified at the invasion by Muslims but successive Governments…”
… and pray tell me who elect these governments my dear? Are the people not responsible for choosing the right leaders to govern them?… A prime example is what just happened in France a few days ago…
If these so called ” horrified” Europeans were actually horrified about the direction their country is heading, would LePen not have been in power today?
I mean what’s the worst that could have happened if she were elected? Nationalism would be the order of the day, immigration and Muslim violence would have been in check and France would follow suit with the UK to exit the old fart’s bureaucracy club of the EU.
Do you now think Geert Wilders in the Netherlands or Afd in Germany stand any chance? I think not ….
Europe will be doomed because of willful ignorance and the consequences of their own stupid choices.
laura ann says
Blitz2b: I totally agree w/you, I was upset that LePen didn’t get in. Graven image: I suspected Muslims posing as Euro folks, were “complaining to Gates of V. website owner” about what I and a few others were saying. It is likely Muslims are pretending to be Euro folks posing as trolls. Still, the website should have kept posing my comments. I think other anti Jihadist sites block these comment complaints knowing they are trolls. It is true, slacker Euro leader nationalists and patriots didn’t act in time, it is way past the point now, I give it will end of this decade they will become under Islamic rule. Some say 2025. I am no expert on this timeline. Geert is a politician, some think he compromises; I do admire his speeches. Decadence, apathy rule the masses.

Stan Lee says
The cause of “insanity” or a description of that significance, is the standard E.U..”alibi” to cover almost any act of vandalism (in this case) or attacks upon European citizens who are believed by the attacker, to be non-Muslims. The E.U. authorities quartered in Brussels,Belgium which preside over all states of the E.U. have ready explanations for what amounts to Muslims carrying out directives from their koran.
The perpetrators don’t need an Imam to order same, nor a Muslim organization to drive their hate for all non-Muslims or the buildings non-Muslims frequent in which to hold their religious services.
Obviously, koranic instructions have been consistent in Muslim dogma for centuries to the extent that Muslim behavior when they are assumed by the E.U. that they will be on their best behavior, is a fallacy calculated by an irresponsible E.U. The E.U. should know better, but it has become clear that there was no policy of law enforcement from the very beginning of importing Muslims from the Middle-East and Africa.
While Islam is also responsible for Muslims landing in European lands and exhibiting no regard for keeping the peace, or gratitude to the Euro populations that support the migrants through taxes levied by the E.U.,the onus is still upon the E.U. and its cowardly indifference to protection of European rights and safety. The E.U. has completely missed the fact that either Muslims do not know better, or they feel entitled as occupiers-conquerors to act as they (Muslims) please., Or plainly, they do not know better.how to behave as decent, moral, human beings.

Amazingly, parents, grandparents, teachers or anyone ever taught them about the crusades, European history or world history and wars, conquered lands thru out history. Ignorant Europeans will soon pay with their lives when war breaks out.

If nobody react, then nothing happen. They will continue and they will be more and more doing this and not only this. They will kill and rape on the main street and there will be some people recording with camera…but nobody will try to react.
AleX says
To Ghe de la Scularie:
Asa este!
You noticed the lack of reaction of Western society when it comes to islam.
This will favor the entrenchment of islam in the tissue of the national body, like a tick that sticks to the skin in a parasitic way.

To act too soon will bring the full weight of the government against you. Prepare for it to start, then go forth, preferably with an organized group.
I will be there and do what is necessary when it starts and I do mean necessary. You see, I have these granddaughters, with the youngest being 9 months old and there are some older ones as well.

GheDa: The police only go after Euro crime, Muslims can do what they want and police look other way, they get paid for doing little.
mccode says
If Muslims truly believe that “it is an insult to Allah’s power to say that he would have allowed one of his prophets to be crucified” how can they square with the realization that their Main Man Mo was killed by poison, suffering a most wretched and lingering death, at the hands of a Jewish woman? Not that he didn’t deserve it of course…..
Seems like just one more of the numerous incongruities of the One True Faith narrative. But then, it only holds water for the addle minded anyway.

That way,he’ll forget about his mental illness.

The people of Europe better wake up and get rid of the invaders that are follows of Mohammad and his god Hubal (Baal) the moon god. This war has been going on for 1400 years and this is just another aspect of it. Crosses are reminded that under Christianity Jehovah/Christ chose to die in the worst possible way to redeem and give a path of redemption to people. And Islamics don’t like the fact that Jehovah/Christ died on the cross since that would be mean his resurrection is real. The also don’t like to be reminded of other religions. Especially, those that predate the creation of Islam.
Remember, the word “Allah” means “the god” and is not a name.

Video from Austria: “Dark-skinned man” attacks, destroys crucifix, does over $16,000 in damage
……………………
Might he have been–well–a Muslim?
Baucent says
The answer the Left will no doubt propose, will be to remove or cover up all these provocative and offending crosses that are inflaming manic psychosis in people of the muslim faith. That would be the social cohesion solution.
Anne Smith says
Newspapers in UK are reporting an attack on a British doctor and his fiancee in their apartment in Boston, USA, in which they were both murdered by having their throats cut. The attacker has been arrested and has a foreign sounding name. No mention of jihad or whether the attacker is a Muslim.
Is there any more information on this in USA press?
