The Islamization of Europe > Mentally ill Muslim beheads girlfriend in Florence; Assaults on churches across Europe increases; Muslim attacks 3 JWs in Germany

 

Italy: Muslim migrant beheads woman, he is ‘known to suffer from mental health problems’


When you meet the unbelievers, strike the necks,” says the Qur’an (47:4). But of course, we know that had nothing to do with this incident, for the perpetrator is “known to suffer from mental health problems.” That would be significantly more credible if it weren’t the fallback excuse that European authorities so frequently use for jihad activity. They do not admit the existence of Islamic jihad, and many have decided to classify jihadis as mentally ill. This does not, however, make the global jihad disappear.



German homeless woman decapitated in Florence: Report

AFP, February 20, 2026:

Italian police said Friday they have identified a suspect in the beheading of a woman in Florence, who media reports described as a homeless 44-year-old German.

Police “found the decapitated body of a woman” at an abandoned site in Scandicci, a suburb of the Tuscan city, after a homeless person raised the alarm Wednesday.

“The investigation resulted in the seizure of several items, including a machete and a knife with blood traces, found in the immediate vicinity of the body,” the police said in a statement.

“A man, already known to law enforcement and currently hospitalized under surveillance, is a serious suspect in the brutal crime,” it said….

The suspect was a young man from North Africa and known to suffer from mental health problems, it said.

The pair were “seeing each other” and shared a makeshift shelter in the area, it added.




In Europe, the Assault on the Churches Continues


No, the stories about attacks on churches in Europe seldom contain the words “Islam” or “Muslim.” But everyone knows who is vandalizing the churches in Europe, breaking the altars and smashing the baptismal fonts, setting fires, stealing church silver, urinating and defecating in the chapels, in the pews, and on the floors. More on the latest horror — the setting of two fires at a historic church in Germany — can be found here: 



Arsonists set two fires at historic German Catholic church

by Antonino Cambria, LifeSite News, February 16, 2026:

Arsonists set fires on both the altar and near the entrance front of the historic St. Peter Catholic Church in Huttenheim last month.

On January 28, unidentified individuals set two fires in the 18th-century, Baroque-style church, one on the altar cloth and another on a table in the front of the church with a set of brochures, per German media. A woman inside the church and several passersby quickly spotted the flames and extinguished them before authorities arrived, with the fire ultimately causing no major damage but will still cost an estimated 8,000 Euros to repair….

Indeed, arson attacks on Catholic and other Christian churches have skyrocketed across Europe in recent years. OIDAC Europe’s (Observatory on Intolerance and Discrimination against Christians in Europe) 2025 report showed that the number of arson attacks on churches and other Christian buildings doubled in 2024 compared with the previous year, with 94 reported cases.

Germany had the highest number of documented arson attacks at 33. Numerous German churches continued to be attacked in 2025. In September alone, the Diocese of Passau reported that 15 churches were targeted by theft and vandalism.

“We usually have about 15 to 20 burglaries in a whole year, and now we currently only have 15 cases in the month of September,” Josef Sonnleitner, the diocese’s finance director, said at the time.

Within the last year alone, there have been several incidents of vandalism and desecration at notable European churches. A November incident in Lourdes, France, saw the entrance of the Sacré-CÅ“ur parish, among the city’s principal places of worship outside its renowned Marian sanctuary, vandalized with graffiti containing the sacrilegious expressions “À mort Jésus-Christ” (“Death to Jesus Christ”), and the right-hand side carried the words “Sale race de Jésus-Christ” (“Dirty race of Jesus Christ”).

Who do you think would write “Death to Jesus Christ” or “Dirty Race of Christians”? The very people whom the late Italian journalist, the brilliant Oriana Fallaci, who knew them well from her days interviewing Khomeini, Qaddafi, and Arafat, described as “the sons of Allah.”

That same month, in Rome, human feces were found at various parts of San Nicola di Bari Church (St. Nicholas of Bari) in Ostia, including the altar. Within the same week, urine and human excrement were also found in multiple corners of a Catholic chapel, including the altar, at the Termini Railway Station, Rome’s main train station, which frequently draws Catholic pilgrims traveling to the Eternal City.

Last February in the Vatican, a man jumped onto the high altar of St. Peter’s Basilica and kicked off the historic candelabra along with the altar cloths. Then in October, another man urinated on the basilica’s high altar during Mass.

Urine and excrement in this church in Ostia and that chapel at Rome’s main railroad station. Urine on the high altar of St. Peter’s Basilica during Mass. Muslims take evident pleasure in showing their contempt for Christians and Christianity in such a fashion. Remember Fallaci’s fury — see her The Rage and the Pride — about the Muslim migrants urinating on Ghiberti’s sublime Baptistery gates, known for their beauty as the “Gates of Paradise”? And how many remember the stories of what was found when the Palestinian terrorists, who barricaded themselves in the Church of the Nativity while the IDF lay siege for 39 days in April-May 2002, finally came out? The entire Church “reeked of urine,” with filth and human waste found throughout. Many of the gunman had deliberately defecated inside the Grotto of the Nativity, the very spot where Jesus is believed to have been born.

Instead of hundreds of churches being vandalized and desecrated each year in Europe, as now happens, within a few years, thousands of churches in Europe will each year be damaged, desecrated, vandalized, with furniture inside set ablaze, altar cloths ripped up, baptismal fonts smashed, candelabras kicked over, anti-Christian graffiti scrawled on walls, surfaces everywhere urinated and defecated on, all of it expressing the deep Muslim hate for Christianity and Christians. Who will stop them? Who will say them nay?






Germany: Afghan Muslim migrant stabs three people at Jehovah’s Witnesses stand in train station


“They are also investigating the man’s ‘exclamations’ and ‘gestures’ he made during the attack.”

Hmmm, what might those “exclamations” have been? It’s a mystery! Why don’t German authorities say what they were? Another mystery!

Polizei Unterfranken said “there is currently no danger to the public.”

Of course there is. There is a danger from all the other jihad-minded Muslim migrants whom leftist German authorities have brought into the country. You’d almost get the idea that they’re sinister Marxist internationalists who want to collapse the existing system and are waging proxy war against the German people by means of the Muslim migrants. Inconceivable, I’m sure.


Afghan knifeman attacks multiple people at Jehovah’s Witness stand in German train station before being overpowered by hero civilians

by Jake Holden, Daily Mail, February 23, 2026:

An Afghan knifeman has attacked multiple people at a Jehovah’s Witness stand in a German train station.

The 35-year-old attacker was then overpowered by heroic civilians at Würzburg Central Station who rushed to the victims’ aid.

Police are treating it as an attempted homicide and have arrested a suspect in connection with the attack who is now in custody.

Bavarian Police reports say the suspect was in the entrance hall of the Würzburg Central Station at around 7.50am. Würzburg is located in central Germany, east of Frankfurt in the Bavaria region.

He approached the Jehovah’s Witness stand and then stabbed at a 68-year-old man and physically attacked a 55-year-old and a 51-year-old, police said….

Three of those attacked by the suspect sustained minor injuries, police confirmed. They did not suffer any cuts or stab wounds and are currently receiving medical attention by emergency services….

They are also investigating the man’s ‘exclamations’ and ‘gestures’ he made during the attack….

Local police service Polizei Unterfranken reported that, following the arrest, ‘there is currently no danger to the public.’…

Right! the public has been in danger since 2015 when Ma Merkel made the worst decision of her career. Her second-worst decision was to go along with the tricking of Putin into agreeing to the Minsk Accords, buying time for Ukraine to arm itself for the coming war. Just in case you were wondering.




Islam - taken to its logical conclusion > Hundreds of musical instruments destroyed by Taliban

 

Sharia in action in Afghanistan:

Taliban burn hundreds of musical instruments


The leftists who are stoutly defending Sharia these days against Randy Fine and Chip Roy have no idea what they’re dealing with.

“‘Imran bin Husain narrated that the Messenger of Allah(s.a.w) said: ‘In this Ummah there shall be collapsing of the earth, transformation and Qadhf.’ A man among the Muslims said: ‘O Messenger of Allah! When is that?’ He said: ‘When singing slave-girls, music, and drinking intoxicants spread.’” (Jami at-Tirmidhi 2212)

“It was narrated from Abu Malik Ash’ari that the Messenger of Allah (ï·º) said: ‘People among my nation will drink wine, calling it by another name, and musical instruments will be played for them and singing girls (will sing for them). Allah will cause the earth to swallow them up, and will turn them into monkeys and pigs.’” (Sunan Ibn Majah 4020)

“Narrated Aisha: Abu Bakr came to my house while two small Ansari girls were singing beside me the stories of the Ansar concerning the Day of Buath. And they were not singers. Abu Bakr said protestingly, ‘Musical instruments of Satan in the house of Allah’s Messenger (ï·º) !’ It happened on the `Id day and Allah’s Messenger (ï·º) said, ‘O Abu Bakr! There is an `Id for every nation and this is our `Id.’” (Sahih al-Bukhari 952)



Taliban burn hundreds of musical instruments in two provinces

by Siyar Sirat, Amu, February 18, 2026 (thanks to The Religion of Peace):

Taliban have burned around 600 musical instruments in Parwan and Laghman provinces in the latest enforcement of their sweeping ban on music.

The Taliban directorate vice and virtue in Parwan said it had set fire to about 500 instruments that had been collected over the past year from the provincial capital and surrounding districts.

At the same time, the Taliban directorate in Laghman province in the east said more than 100 instruments had also been burned there.

The Taliban morality enforcers in Parwan said the confiscated items included harmoniums, tablas, tambourines, frame drums, loudspeakers and other audio equipment. He said hundreds of instruments had previously been burned in the province.

Since returning to power in August 2021, the Taliban have prohibited the production and public playing of music, declaring it forbidden under their interpretation of Islamic law….
