This public restroom was once the St. Catherine Church in Moria, a small town on the island of Lesvos, which was flooded with migrants who arrived via Turkey. \u201cThe smell inside is unbearable,\u201d\u00a0said\u00a0<\/a>a local. \u201c[T]he metropolitan of Mytilene is aware of the situation in the area, nevertheless, he does not wish to deal with it for his own reasons.\u201d<\/p>\n While there are many such examples from between 2015-2020\u2014in 2016, the Church of All Saints in Kallithea near Athens was set\u00a0aflame<\/a>\u00a0by \u201cArabic speakers\u201d\u2014historically conscious Greeks see a continuum in the Islamic targeting of their churches.\u00a0 As one report on the desecration of Greek churches\u00a0explains<\/a>,<\/p>\n We should remember that Greece spent 400 years under Turkish Islamic rule and that the fight for freedom was bloody.\u00a0 With that in mind it is even more dramatic seeing these images of fighting age migrants desecrating Greek holy places and having no respect for the country they are allegedly seeking refuge in.<\/em><\/p>\n https:\/\/www.frontpagemag.com<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" Raymond Ibrahim – March 14, 2022 According to a new\u00a0report\u00a0published by Greece\u2019s Ministry of Education and Religious Affairs, there were 2,339 incidents of church desecrations in the country between 2015 and 2020, when tiny Greece, seen as Europe\u2019s eastern gateway, was flooded with migrants from the Islamic world.\u00a0 As the\u00a0Greek City Times\u00a0writes\u00a0in regards to the … Continue reading Greece: Muslim Migrants Desecrate and \u2018Turn into Toilets\u2019 2,339 Churches<\/span><\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_jetpack_newsletter_access":"","_jetpack_dont_email_post_to_subs":false,"_jetpack_newsletter_tier_id":0,"_jetpack_memberships_contains_paywalled_content":false,"_jetpack_memberships_contains_paid_content":false,"footnotes":"","jetpack_publicize_message":"","jetpack_publicize_feature_enabled":true,"jetpack_social_post_already_shared":true,"jetpack_social_options":{"image_generator_settings":{"template":"highway","default_image_id":0,"font":"","enabled":false},"version":2},"jetpack_post_was_ever_published":false},"categories":[16],"tags":[175,125,16556,1960,174,16557,29,241,26],"class_list":["post-20781","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-white-horse","tag-christianity","tag-church","tag-church-desecrations","tag-greece","tag-islam","tag-islamic-world","tag-muslim","tag-persecution","tag-religion"],"jetpack_publicize_connections":[],"jetpack_featured_media_url":"","jetpack-related-posts":[],"jetpack_sharing_enabled":true,"jetpack_shortlink":"https:\/\/wp.me\/p8fAkI-5pb","_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/setapartbytruth.org\/wordpress-watchman\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/20781","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/setapartbytruth.org\/wordpress-watchman\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/setapartbytruth.org\/wordpress-watchman\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/setapartbytruth.org\/wordpress-watchman\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/setapartbytruth.org\/wordpress-watchman\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=20781"}],"version-history":[{"count":1,"href":"https:\/\/setapartbytruth.org\/wordpress-watchman\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/20781\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":20783,"href":"https:\/\/setapartbytruth.org\/wordpress-watchman\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/20781\/revisions\/20783"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/setapartbytruth.org\/wordpress-watchman\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=20781"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/setapartbytruth.org\/wordpress-watchman\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=20781"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/setapartbytruth.org\/wordpress-watchman\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=20781"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
