Throughout France, thousands of churches have been vandalized, with crucifixes pulled off walls, pews broken, altars set alight, tabernacles carrying the host bashed in, baptismal fonts kicked over, statues of the Virgin Mary beheaded or smashed to bits, missals torn to shreds. Those who have been caught have all been Muslims, and it is reasonable to assume that those who haven’t yet been caught are also Muslims.
More on the latest desecration of a Christian site can be found here: “Attack on statue of Our Lady as French shrine vandalized,” by Gaetano Masciullo, LifeSite News, June 9, 2026:
Vandals desecrated the Notre-Dame du Faron shrine in Toulon, France, damaging a statue of the Virgin Mary at one of the region’s most visited Marian pilgrimage sites.
On June 9, the Diocese of Fréjus-Toulon reported the desecration of the Notre-Dame du Faron shrine, a prominent Marian pilgrimage site overlooking the harbor of Toulon in southern France. Church authorities announced that a statue of the Virgin Mary was damaged in an act of vandalism discovered in recent days by the priest of Saint-Vincent-de-Paul parish, which is responsible for the shrine. The diocese has filed a formal complaint with the authorities.
According to a report released by Tribune Chrétienne, the damage was identified after the parish priest inspected the site at the summit of Mount Faron. The pedestal supporting the statue, known as Notre-Dame du Mont Faron, had been knocked over and broken. The wooden statue itself also suffered damage. Church officials reported a crack in one of the feet and additional deterioration to the head that will require restoration work. The statue has since been removed and secured pending repairs.
At this stage, the diocese indicated, no information has been made public regarding those responsible for the desecration or the reasons behind it.
After many thousands of such attacks on churches across France — about 800 to 1,000 annually — a number of the malefactors have been caught, sometimes through having been filmed on the church’s CCTV, and sometimes by the swift appearance of the police, summoned by a priest or parishioners when the vandals are still inside the church, and in every case they have turned out to be Muslims, so we can safely assume that Muslims most like vandalized this shrine, too.
Muslims wish to destroy the symbols and places of Christian worship. There are 40,000 churches in France; the police now guard only a few hundred of them in the cities; those in small villages are left unguarded, because the locals cannot pay guards to secure their churches. As the Muslim population of France increases, so will the attacks on Christian sites — churches and shrines. French leaders should recognize that the attacks on churches are an attack on Christianity in France, the faith that is central to the French cultural identity. The national government should have a dedicated force, some ten to twenty thousand men strong, whose officers are tasked with protecting the religious heritage of France. That means guarding its churches from vandalism and arson. These men could be spread out across the country, capable of being summoned at once by alarm systems set off by intruders in the churches, systems that would be installed in every church in the land. Such a force won’t stop all of these attacks, but many attacks will be foiled, and many malefactors who currently ‘scape whipping will be caught, convicted, and either sent to prison or better still, be deported back to their countries of origin.
And meanwhile, of course, ora pro nobis.

It would not surprise me that the government covered up Muslim involvement in the fire at Notre Dame out of fear of reprisals.
ploome says
of. course
agenda (in the EU) seems to be, protect the muslims at any cost
even if it means the destruction of Israel

I thought that from the get-go, while the flames were still going. Who else would wish to do it? And why have the perps not been id’d?
Lancaster says
It is absolutely possible the French authorities have a strong fear of civil disorder between Christians and Muslims should the fact arise that it was indeed Muslims who are burning the churches as we suspect.
I personally believe it is a motley mix of radical Islamists as well as groups of Marxists and other radical leftists working to further terrorize the Christian believing population of France.
Christians are almost always a civilized and peaceful population who do not have inherent understanding of how to react to these serious conditions that are arising. They appear to be trying to retreat and ignore what appears to be a religious conflict in order to enjoy what they can of life and not be drawn into a serious conflict or dare I say, civil war.

I think the sharia pope might have bought the gasoline Jerry cans and filled them up with 93 fuel. All on the house.
And then they used Vatican funds to pay for the lawyers.
The pope will never speak up against these church being burned down by MUSLIMS.
He has no clue about the religion he secretly converted to. They Will try to make the Catholic leftovers into MUSLIMS at the direcikionas of the SHARIA POPE.
Westman says
Ora pro nobis – .”Pray for us”
Would it help when the French citizens won’t defend their own churches?
The message to jihad-oriented or just Muslim bums is the churches are unguarded night stops. The French don’t care enough to man watches of their own church or are those churches just artifacts of a bygone era, now to be maintained by government? The message to vandals is clear – French churches are historic icons in a sea of secular socialism.
BOB says
Not only will they not defend their churches, go look what they are doing on your tube. The Muslims are invited by the christians to pray inside the churches zz. You heard that correctly. Go look it up.
The Muslims see this as a sign of WEAKNESS! They want to claim this church for themself and chase the DISBELIEFERS OUT! I believe very soon YOU WILL SEE STONINGS.

“no information has been made public regarding those responsible for the desecration or the reasons behind it.”
We know why that is.
Dave says
When you bow down to islam, this happens.
Big Dude says
No reason for the crime. Isolated incidents. Suggestion thorough investigation of the cleanup for possibly Islamophobia. Heads will roll. Those islamophobes.. always stirring the pot

Seems like a billion “lone wolves” make a pretty dangerous pack..
Bob says
I’d like they tell us, one percent are the bad ones. We are in big trouble. That’s one hundred million radicals.
I think they should go and build their own country .

From the moment that ‘Mohammed’ & Co. started ransacking the Arabian peninsula ‘in the name of God’, this has been the way of ‘islam’ (= ‘submit – or else’).

If they expelled Muslims from France, they wouldn’t have to have 24/7 security at churches and synagogues.
