    Swastikas, racist graffiti smeared on French mosque

    (IANS)


    Swastikas 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 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 politicians 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.

    the moslems should have done a soul searching, why almost every country exist in this earth do not like moslems?, let’s just see that 99.9% the mass killing, including horrifying killing of little girls who trying to educate them self in pakistan and afghanistan are moslems. when we heard about terrorism in any parts of this worlds, we can definitely sure that the culprits 99.9% moslems. if we are not moslems, can we love this barbarian who did the killing in the name of God? then the truth that being an infidels have agreater chance to go to heaven rather than the moslems them self. and communist are hollier than the moslems. think of this.
