According to an officer on the scene, someone started to write the words “Islamic State will rema[in],” in black spray paint on a wall outside the church.
It is reprehensible when any place of worship is vandalized; this is the second such incident recently in Ontario. A Burlington Church sustained “heavy damages” from a fire only two weeks ago, and “ISIS” was spray-painted on the building.
There should be a loud outcry in Canada over these two acts against Christian churches in such close proximity, both of which were marked with Islamic State graffiti.
The Prime Minister of Canada, Justin Trudeau, spoke out after a mosque fire in Ontario last year, and that is good. Unfortunately, no such statement has come from Trudeau or his government regarding the church fire or the Islamic State graffiti. The silence is deafening and sends a loud message. Intolerance apparently is recognized only in one direction.
“Lakeside Church vandalized with Islamic State messaging”, CBC News, August 29, 2017:
Ontario Provincial Police are looking for suspects after a church was spray-painted with Islamic State messaging in Guelph-Eramosa Township.
Wellington OPP say they responded to a call at Lakeside Church Monday afternoon.
“Members [advised] that sometime overnight, unknown suspects had attended the church and did some spray-painting on the side of it,” Const. Marylou Schwindt told CBC K-W.
According to an officer on the scene, someone started to write the words “Islamic State will rema[in],” in black spray paint on a wall outside the church.
Police say the vandals likely ran out of paint before they could complete the act….

The real victims of these graffiti are muslims, we must denounce Islamophobia again and again … until they kill us all.
R Cole says
We should expect to hear someone from the Leftist-Islamist alliance stand up and say that in an “inclusive” society all churches in Canada must have their crosses or outward Christian markings taken down as to not offend [Muslims].
If no one knows it’s a church, then acts of intolerance will be reduced, as Muslims won’t feel so alienated in their adopted nations.
::
Hello, look what’s happening in Europe, the reality of Islam is being forced through the sieve of political correctness and race baiting.
What you would have been accused of Islamophobia for, the suggestion that there’s an Islamic concept of deceit or taqiyya, could now be used to save lives. Perhaps these officials are starting to realize that reliance on Muslim groups for insight into Islam, is getting them nowhere.
Of course, we know where many on the Left will continue to stand on this issue – any attempt to prevent people being killed in an Islamic terrorist attack is an act of racism. It’s Stalin with religion!!

PATRICIA FRANCES KOENIG says
Islam is clearly being promoted by the powerful….but why? The powerful elite are mostly Globalists, aka members of secret societies such as Freemasons, Illuminati, Skull & Bones, Bilderberg, Bohemian Grove Council on Foreign Relations (CFR), CAIR, etc. They are anti-Christian…and they are using Islam as their “enforcers” to intimidate and then attack Christians. Persecution of Christians is near …even at the door or in the house, in many places.
eur says
In the name of multiculturalism and globalization, real atrocities are being committed. The so-called free world (post-Christian West) is becoming less free precisely because millions of people, mainly Muslims, are coming, who do not allow that freedom. However the Islamic world is becoming more monocultural, only Islam, there are fewer Christians, Jews … or other religions, do not allow lay states. Why is this being allowed? There are many consipiranoic theories but in the end I think everything has to do with the same: many people and few resources. Someone is not interested in having a cultured middle class, prepared and ready to fight for their rights. Islam is the tool to bust the whole system that has been created from illustration, industrial revolution, class struggle, women’s liberation …
Guy Forester says
If you knew the extent of financial dependency on the oil rich mid east despots you would know the answer to your question. Everything from healthcare to construction, to consumer goods, to military equipment and training. Not only the US and EU, but many of our so called friends and allies have economic dependency on cash remittances, lucrative contracts, and various forms of employment.
I can guarantee you that whenever someone in DC even thinks of putting pressure on the state sponsors of terrorism and invasion, the lobbyists for the companies and countries dependent upon OPEC spending line up to protest and remind the elected official where the real money comes from.
There are countries like the Philippines that would financially collapse if cash remittances and payroll taxes from their citizens in the mid east would stop. A number of our large manufacturers would do the same.
Monty says
Spot on. The West has sold its soul for petrodollars, plus the huge market for weapons and manufactured goods. The love of money is the root of this evil

No one should hold his breath waiting for Trudeau to condemn a church being vandalized in this way. It just won’t happen.
WPM says
Trudeau will proclaim it Islamic outsider art if the young men or women are caught they will be given a government grant and a good supply of spray paint. We as evil Western Christians must understand the pressure these Islamics face in the modern Western world, heath benefits, good housing safe clean streets it a shock to the young people of the” religion of peace ” to live among law abiding productive nonislamic people.

All one has to do is look at how “marginalized” the poor dears are here without their Sharia law in place. After all, we have secular laws here…no honour killings, no throwing gays off of buildings, no FGM, no wife beating, no jihad against infidels… What were we thinking?

There are plenty of Muslims killers, as well. Given his posting history here, I imagine wool is disappointed that this graffiti hasn’t led directly to a massacre at the church.

The emotional subtext of the Liberal Party of Canada is bait and switch. They present themselves as one thing (a traditional middle class party) and they behave as another a Subsidiary of the Muslim Brotherhood.

Guy Forester says
The RNC is not far behind. Follow the OPEC oil money trail.
Wellington says
Guy Forester: I don’t by into the “oil stuff.” Bush 43 didn’t go into Iraq because of oil (except for a secondary or tertiary reason), nor do I think corrupt oil money in general is the root of the problem.
The root of the problem is massive continued willful ignorance of the worst religion ever created by man——-Islam. Hey, it’s not as though the RNC, treated in the aggregate, has known for a long time now that Islam is rotten to the core but because of the “oil matter” has looked the other way. No, rather it is the sad case that the RNC remains woefully ignorant of what Islam intends for us all.
Enough already, I say, with the “economic explanation.” The real explanation lies with ignorance and not avarice. Understand, I’m not dismissing the “greed factor” completely, but this is not the MAIN REASON why the RNC and so many other political parties in the West continue to function in “stupid mode” about Islam. I mean do you really think the RNC knows just how rotten Islam is, knows the Koran, hadiths, sira throughout, but because of money alone has looked the other way? Really?
Nope, in short the chief problem is ignorance, not avarice.
gravenimage says
True, Wellington.
Monty says
Just Google Muslim interests in the Western economy. Just Qatar for a start. The you will see why even Mr Trump dares not offend the Saudi and Qatari regimes. Qatar owns Harrods and is the money behind McClaren sports cars. The US has a huge base in Qatar. Qatar has many other interests and buys western weapons. Saudi Arabia is much the same. It is invariably about the money. The elites care nothing about the less well off, as long as they are not affected.
Guy Forester says
To Wellington and Monty:
I say what I do as a result of what I have seen and have first hand knowledge of. The average westerner is probably not aware of how many jobs are directly tied to the Mid East money pot. Military hardware, construction equipment, raw materials for consumer goods and construction, finished consumer goods, jobs in everything from domestics to engineering to brain and heart surgery. Aircraft and trucks, mining and oil production equipment, the list is incredible.
No one wants to turn off the money spigot, and no one wants to lose the jobs. The UK, Australia, NZ, Germany, most of western Europe, many Asian, and of course the US have many people there. The mid east countries make almost no consumer goods. They hire us to do the dirty work. Expats outnumber the natives in a number of these countries, and certainly provide much of the technical expertise there. It is as much survival for a number of economies as well as financial survival for individuals. Add some political intrigue and self aggrandizement, and we have a true dependency on that oil money.
gravenimage says
Guy–with all respect–Islam creates almost nothing. Even oil wealth in Dar-al-Islam does not account for that much wealth.
The idea that the West–the most productive societies in the history of the world–counts for nothing in the face of Muslim money is simply not the case.
In fact, we spend a great deal on Muslims–everything from welfare to “foreign aid”. We spend more on Muslims than we ever get from them.
There are certainly a few Infidels getting rich off unearned Muslim money–but most of us are deep in the red in this situation.
Robert says
I have to agree with gravenimage. The West IS in deep with the Middle East. But the economic factor doesn’t account for all the nonsense that’s going on right now. It’s part of the Left’s worldview; it’s woven into their basic ideals, beliefs, and practices.
There’s been a weird fascination with the East in general, and Islam in particular for a long, long time — stretching back hundreds of years. Some intellectual elites have prefered Islam over Christianity, going back centuries. Thought-leaders such as Schopenhauer and Nietzsche adored Islam.
Loison Helmer says
Recently PM Trudeau stated that Christians are the worst part of Canadian society. This will give some context why a 127 year old Baptist Church was destroyed by fire and had Isis graffiti on it. Very little media coverage. Touch a mosque and the media go nuts. Trudeau goes nuts. Accuses Canadians of being racist and intolerant. Many Canadian Christians are starting to feel alienated in their own country. He also stated that a true Canadian is a Muslim and Canadians born here don’t have the same feeling for their country as immigrants, refugees and illegals who choose to come to Canada. He’s a joke but the last laugh is the destruction of our country.
Linda Davis says
“Many Christian Canadians are starting to feel alienated in their own country.” Yes we are, Loison…..Lord have mercy. Maranatha
Guy Forester says
Yes, Virginia, elections do have consequences.
Either the election was a total fraud, or too many people of conscience, with knowledge of the truth, sat out the election. Not sure who the opposition was, but here in the US, we had few, if any good choices. Now you know how we got Trump. No good alternatives. What happened in Canada?
gravenimage says
Stephen Harper–the previous Canadian PM–was actually relatively savvy about the threat of Islam. I wish he’d been reelected.
Brenda Buruma says
Me too.
Guy Forester says
Bummer. BTW, note how the MSM and DNC react in the US when the topic of vote fraud is brought up. Despite evidence and actual criminal convictions.
Monty says
The church is supposed to be the “salt of the earth”. That means a preservative. Once it has lost its “saltiness” it become worthless and is trampled by men (Matthew 5:13). The church for sure nothing like the “salt” that it is supposed to be. I’ve been seeing the decline since the 1980’s. Funny how Islam has become stronger and stronger in that time. Christians are the real “government of the earth. We should be blasting Satan off the face of the earth but there are few spiritual warriors. Only a 2 Chronicles 7:14 experience can help us now. It’s not too late.
Lydia says
The church has lost its salt in Europe and Canada a long time ago, albeit a remnant, and now it is happening here in the US, and then you have the great apostasy of 2 Thess. 2.
I have seen the decline as well.
Spiritual warfare is real because so is the supernatural world, but we will still not be able to blast the devil off the planet. According to end times Bible prophecy, the devil is thrown in the lake of fire at the end, the time of judgment of the earth. Jesus sends him there, we would not be able to. That’s just the reality of Bible prophecy. Sometimes people get side winded by all these lofty schemes, such as ‘taking over the earth for God,’ etc. It is great to advance the things of God and honor Him and spread it in the culture, the laws, etc. as much as possible, but know that we won’t be successful overall. It is a fallen and cursed world, and man is fallen with the sin nature. Not all will be saved, but few, as Jesus said. Jesus brings the Kingdom at His return, not us, and we need Him, not vice versa, for that. Then you get the camp that claims folks like me are just ‘naysayers’ or something, but we just know the truth and believe in God’s Word and the prophesies are clear. Just a realistic perspective. Our job is to evangelize, not take up the sword to take over the world and this is not even possible. I’m not against self defense either, but I’m just going by Jesus’ instructions to us, the main one being the Great Commission, and staying focused on that.
I’m not saying you don’t know all of this, I was just reminded and wanted to share these things again.
God bless!

Lydia says
It is the CHURCH that will remain, and this is the truth because it was spoken by Jesus Himself!
Persecution and even martyrdom does not kill the church, in these times rather… it grows.
This is early church history, so the devil took other approaches, such as slow and stealth infiltration, slow corruption, etc.
Trudeau and the muslims are the worst part of Canadian society, Christians are the best part.
He is obviously an evil man, like nero. What a fool. I feel sorry for the Canadians.
All I can say is: never back down!
I will not back down, no matter what, when this reaches US shores (to the extent of other parts of the West), I will continue as I am now until my dying day, even if it brings it about sooner. I will never retreat or be bullied or intimidated by any of them. I hope you not either! If we want backbone, we have to start with ourselves.
Andy says
These acts of violence are probably happening with the blessing of Prime Minister Justin Trudeau.

Vandalize a mosque – incur the wrath of the PM. Vandalize a church, the PM says nothing because he is happy.
Guy Forester says
The mosques are most likely paid for by OPEC oil money or a muslim state like Turkey. Christian churches and synagogues are paid for mainly by the citizens. I truly suspect that if a foreign country or entity wanted to build a new synagogue, church, or cathedral, the leftist legislators and judges would find every possible reason to stop that.
gravenimage says
You are right about how many Mosques are funded by Muslim states, Guy–especially Saudi Arabia and Iran.
Voytek Gagalka says
The more Mohammedans in vicinity, the more frequent such and similar “incidents” will be. They know that they are in “cultural war” with us, while “we” refuse even to acknowledge it. What would happen if some mosque would be “vandalized” in similar way? Deafening cries about rampant “Islamophobia” and committed “hate crimes,” and calls for “human rights commission” would be heard everywhere. In this case? I don’t think that will be any significant consequences for perpetrators because the West is currently paralyzed by “dhimmi” mode of surrender.

Thr Boy King, Trudeau, the Younger, would never utter a criticism of Islam. He is inherently attuned to this Cult of Barbarity and totalitarian political tyrants. Like all of the political Leftist Progressive diktat, Trudeau loathes Christianity; however, Islam has a significant place in his heart. Anyone whose icons are Castro, Mao, and other despots should not be the leader of a so-called Democracy.

Canadians living in southwestern Ontario who are worried about the encroachment of Islam must become good little boys and girls. We must not cause a fuss.
Appalling.
Hiding says
Canada does not care about westerners and will need to be bailed out once this cancer spreads to north america. What is worse than the graffiti is that it was reported that the perp had attended the service. Westerners need to self segregate for their own safety. I would advise all who attend Christian or Jewish services to have their faith leaders set up TV broadcasts of services in case churches and synagogues need to be shut down for safety and adherents need to remain in the safety of their own homes during services. Perhaps an M-104 and an M-105 in Parliament to protect Christians and Jews in Canada. That will never happen unfortunately.
D Austin says
Live Internet streaming is cheap and easy. Some churches in the US do it for their disable members to watch from home.

For the next Canadian census I would advise all Christians, Jews, Buddhists and Hindus to put no religion. What if your religion made you a target via the so called confidential data. We must act like people did in nazi occupied Europe where so much fighting went underground for safety. Who knows what types of employees have access to that data? Be as wise as serpents and as harmless as doves. Personal and family safety comes first.
Terry says
The tip of the iceberg.
The hate is not is not a phase, it will last forever and so will the violence.
The koran and hadith are hate speech material that call for and incite violence against innocents, we have laws against that here in Canada, and there are no exemptions for political ideologies or religion.
Not only is this hate material not being challenged in court, we as Canadians are not allowed to discuss it.
Canada has submitted and we are officially a sharia compliant country.
Politicianaphobia says
Today Justine reminded all Canadians of Islamophobia. There will be a couple of Saudi days on parliament hill this month. Justine Trudeau is a disgrace to Canada, but he is right, Islam seems to promote hate. The Muslim Brotherhood says “The West will be eliminated”. OMG maybe Justine has a hearing problem along with lacking morals and mental stability.
