Attacks on Europe Churches at All-time High; Report: Some 3K Acts of Vandalism Last Year

Attacks against Christians in Europe reached record highs in 2019, as hostility and vandalism against churches, Christian school and monuments continue to sweep the continent, the Christian Post website reports today (January 22, 2020).

The Gatestone Institute International Policy Council this month published its research of anti-Christian violence, and reported that about 3,000 acts of vandalism, looting, and defacement occurred last year.

"Violence against Christian sites is most widespread in France, where churches, schools, cemeteries, and monuments are being vandalized, desecrated, and burned at an average rate of three per day, according to government statistics. In Germany, attacks against Christian churches are occurring at an average rate of two per day," the report states.

Those committing the anti-Christian crimes are rarely apprehended, because many have mental disorders. Also, their crimes are not formally classified as "hate crimes."
