Scripture for Today, 3-14-22: Jesus Hated

Muslim Migrants Desecrate and ‘Turn into Toilets’ 2,339 Christian Churches: The Lord Jesus said His followers would be hated because of Him

3-14-22, FrontPage* -- Greece’s Ministry of Education and Religious Affairs reports that there were 2,339 incidents of church desecrations in the country between 2015 and 2020. During this time the tiny nation of Greece was flooded with Islamic migrants.

• In 2020 there were 385 incidents against Christian churches and buildings, including “vandalism, burglary, theft, sacrilege, necromancy, robbery, placement of explosive devices and other desecrations.”
• Muslim migrants ransacked and transformed another church into their personal toilet. This public restroom was once the St. Catherine Church in Moria, a small town on the island of Lesvos, which was flooded with migrants who arrived via Turkey. “The smell inside is unbearable,” said a local. “[T]he metropolitan of Mytilene is aware of the situation in the area, nevertheless, he does not wish to deal with it for his own reasons.”
• In April 2021, Muslim migrants entered into and utterly desecrated a small church.  Proud of their handiwork, they also videotaped portions of the incident and uploaded it on TikTok [1]. 
• The Church of All Saints in Kallithea near Athens was set aflame by “Arabic speakers”

Modern Greece, of course, is ultimately experiencing what all European nations that have large Muslim migrant populations are experiencing.  All around Western Europe, churches are under attack:

• the Alps and Bavaria regions of Germany alone, countless crosses on some 200 churches were attacked and broken: “Police are currently dealing with church desecrations again and again… The perpetrators are often youthful rioters with a migration background.”
• Dülmen, Germany in 2016 not a day goes by without attacks on crosses and other Christian symbols outside of churches.  Before Christmas, in the North Rhine-Westphalia region, where more than a million Muslim migrants reside, some 50 public statues of the Lord Jesus and other Christian figures were beheaded and crucifixes broken.
• In France an average of two churches are reportedly attacked there every single day.  In 2019, vandals plundered and used human excrement to draw a cross on the Notre-Dame des Enfants Church in Nimes.
• In Nigeria Muslims have torched or destroyed some 20,000 churches over the last decade.

The new report by Greece’s Ministry of Education and Religious Affairs makes one thing perfectly clear: Greece has become the latest exemplar of “Islam’s Rule of Numbers” — a rule which posits that, the more Muslims grow in numbers, the more phenomena intrinsic to Islam grows with them, in this case, the desecration of Christian churches.  [Matthew 10:22, 24:9; Mark 13:13; Luke 21:17; John 15:18; Proverbs 29:27]
