Swastikas and racist graffiti smeared on French mosque
About a dozen inscriptions were painted on the walls of the Great Mosque in Saint-Etienne.
By DPA Tags: France Jewish World Israel newsSwastikas and racist and anti-Moslem graffiti were discovered Monday on the Great Mosque of the city of Saint-Etienne, French media reported.
About a dozen inscriptions, such as "Dirty Niggers," "France for the French," "No Arabs Here" and "We will get you" were scrawled on the mosque's walls with the type of spray cans commonly used by graffiti artists.
The discovery came as several ministers of the French government met under Prime Minister Francois Fillon to draw conclusions from the controversial nationwide debate on national identity the government has led for the past few months.
The debate, which has been slammed by opposition politicans as a political ploy, gave rise to a wave of anti-Islam declarations, by anonymous individuals on the website dedicated to the debate, as well as by several conservative politicians.
The umbrella body French Council of the Moslem Religion (CFCM), which reported the inscriptions, urged the government to set up a parliamentary commission to investigate the recent increase of anti-Moslem incidents.

Now listen here Freidrich I told you not to squeeze my grandmother's antlers. Also, the Musulmans aren't committing the majority of terrorist atrocities. Only the more spectacular ones. http://www.loonwatch.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/01/piechart2-1024x1024.jpg PS I heart you
So if a Trend is identified, does that allow me or anyone else for that matter, to generalize???! No I do not agree and I will never agree.. Would be the same as branding all Germans Nazis because of what happened. You have to be very careful when making such statements...Anyway, this topic is not about Terrorism! You see how pre-conditioned you have become? anything about Muslims immediately spells "it is their own fault". Neverminf the 99.9% law abiding Muslims in this world.. BTW, I am not a Mrs but a Mr. Saladin should have been a hint for you....
No place of worship should ever be defiled. My sympathies go out to the French Muslim Community.
You are correct about murder being blind to race or culture. That said, I do think you have to agree that the mass, non personal (market/school/govt bldg etc.) bombings are mostly identified with Muslims.
It is normal, French people realizing what is happening to them, and they react. Only if the British realised what is happening to Londonestan and their other cities.
How many Mosques did the radical Muslims blow up. How many shopping center and police stations. killing Muslims Read the newspapers.
# 1 what a sick person you are.... Jews kill Jews, Christians kill Christians and idiots kill idiots... Its people like you who strip humans from any decency.
... To all the people whose places of worship and burial are defaced.
Your hatred and racism is showing. If you really believe that only jews suffer persecution, then you need to get an education, or a psychiatrist.
what may be happening is the 21st century version of antisemitism that includes Arabs! where it will go in the future is a guess. but I think things will get worse with time. history repeats.
MUslims are killing Muslims. Wonder if they placed graffiti themselves. They are sick enough to do it
