Leftists have been indulging in an orgy of destroying statues lately, but their favored method of destruction is pulling them down, not beheading them. Still, a Leftist may have done this, but could it have anything to do with the introduction into Miami of a large population of people who believe that Christianity is a false religion and that they are commanded to fight unbelievers so that Allah may punish them by the hands of the believers (cf. Qur’an 9:14-15)?
Could it have anything to do with the Qur’an’s suggestion that the destroyed remnants of ancient non-Muslim civilizations are a sign of Allah’s punishment of those who rejected his truth? “Many were the Ways of Life that have passed away before you: travel through the earth, and see what was the end of those who rejected Truth.” (Qur’an 3:137) The ruins of non-Muslim civilizations thus bear witness to the truth of Islam. What ensues from that idea? The creation of more ruins.
Or is this the work of Leftists who are unwittingly (or knowingly) advancing the same agenda as that of the Islamic State and the Taliban?
“‘This is an attack on the church.’ Jesus statue beheaded at SW Miami-Dade Catholic church,” by Carli Teproff, Miami Herald, July 16, 2020:
A statue of Jesus Christ as the Good Shepherd that has been in the courtyard of a Kendale Lakes Catholic church for decades has been beheaded and police are trying to figure out who is behind the act.
The statue, which sits behind the church at 14187 SW 72nd St., was desecrated sometime Tuesday night into Wednesday morning.
“This is an attack on the church,” said Mary Ross Agosta, a spokeswoman for the Archdiocese of Miami. “This is not only private property, it is sacred property.”
Ross Agosta said church personnel found the statue with its head on the ground just before 8 a.m.
“This is not something you can trip over and say, ‘Oh, sorry,’ ” she said. “Someone did this intentionally.”
The incident comes on the heels of an attack on an Orlando-area church over the weekend. Steven Shields, 23, was charged with arson after deputies say he plowed a minivan through the front door of Queen of Peace Catholic Church in Ocala and set it on fire….
