Constant Vandalism against Christian Churches

Country: Germany

Date of incident: February 29, 2012


In Duisburg a group of migrant youths, aged between 10 and 14, keeps destroying the windows of Catholic and Protestant churches, disturbing services (eg. with firecrackers), write hate slogans on the church wall and insult the clergy. So far the police had only investigated one of the numerous cases of vandalism directed against churches in the area.

A parishoner: "There is so much hatred. We don't understand this, we do not deserve such hatred!" A pastor: "I asked the kids to stop. They told me such aggressive and terrible things that I do not want to recite them." Source, images and further details:
