His motive is not really that hard to fathom. He has contempt for Christianity as an idolatrous corruption of the original Islamic message of Jesus the Muslim prophet. He abhors representational art as forbidden by Allah. He might have undressed the statue as an attempt to demean it and humiliate the Christians inside the church. Swiss authorities, however, don’t dare consider any of this, as it would destroy their cherished false assumptions about Islam.
“Afghan desecrates Black Madonna in Einsiedeln and crowns himself,” translated from “Afghane schändet Schwarze Madonna in Einsiedeln und krönt sich selbst,” Junge Freiheit, November 18, 2024 (thanks to Medforth):
EINSIEDELN. An asylum seeker has caused an uproar in Einsiedeln, Switzerland. He is said to have burst into the church service in the parish chapel on Saturday and attacked the statue of Mary, as the Tagesanzeiger reported.
The Afghan hit the Black Madonna and undressed her. According to reports, he completed his performance by placing the crown of the statue of Mary on his head.
Priests and police are said to have finally stopped the young migrant. The officers from the canton of Schwyz took the Afghan into custody, who is now in a psychiatric hospital.
The monastery has now responded to the attack on its website. However, there is no information about the suspected perpetrator. Instead, it speaks of a “regrettable incident” caused by a “confused person.”
The monastery also said: “We deeply regret this incident and are thinking of the many people whose religious feelings were hurt there. Our prayers and thoughts are with them, as well as with the person taken into custody by the police.” The motive for the attack is currently unclear.
In response to the attack, the monastery called for a rosary prayer the following day. This is in the spirit of “peace and reconciliation.”
The Black Madonna is said to have only sustained minor damage. The late Gothic image of grace made of linden wood dates from the 15th century and is also venerated by numerous pilgrims in the pilgrimage church.

Sending this Afghan muslim migrant to a psychiatric hospital will NOT help him because his brains have been possessed by that satanic poophead Mohammad.
His actions warrant him a deportation back to his home country Afghanistan where I’m sure he’ll be happy.
That will also save a lot of the tax-payers money.

Switzerland: Muslim migrant bursts into church service, hits and undresses statue of Mary, cops search for motive
………………………………..
Whatever could it be? What a mystery… sarc/off
Rufolino says
“A confused person” ? What is he confused about ?
He was apparently very focused in his intentions, like most Muslims.
Muslims are far more focused than many European Christians. Which does not bode well.
James Hoagland says
This is a muslim, disturbing a Mass and undressing a statue. Must be a complete mystery as to why he committed such an extreme action! Perhaps the police should be more in contact with their native born citizens to know what their average citizen sees as the reason for this action and further, why there is a daily decline in the quality of life in society. The lack of intestinal fortitude is based on loss of value. How the barbarian gains status in a civilized society!

I’ve read that they adore Virgin Mary in the Alawite areas of Syria & Lebanon. Why not arrest him & send him to Ladakiya, and see whether he dares try that there at any Alawite shrine? The Syrians will know how to handle him
James Lincoln says
If these Switzerland cops are still “searching for a motive”, then they don’t deserve to be cops.
Troybeam says
It’s called avoiding the riots, not admitting that Islam is a threat and so on. It’s also called not understanding Islam and not even trying to understand it for if they did before an invasion they never would have been let in.
James Lincoln says
Yes, Troybeam.
