So, at minimum, that's 17 places of worship that have been scenes of "vandalism".
Why is this not causing more outrage?
If these were mosques, this would be labelled up and down by media as hate crimes.
But because is Christianity/Catholocism that's being targeted, we get the much softer title of "vandalism"?
It's an interesting dichotomy IMO. |
There's a significant distinction between:
1. people painting slogans like "our lives matter", "we were children", and bloody handprints symbolizing the children who died at church-run schools, and,
2. someone 'tagging' a building with
"#### Syrea, kill musilums [sic]" and
Celtic crosses (this was indiscriminately painted at Tuscany LRT station a few years ago)
One is reminding the churches (particularly the unrepentant Catholic Church) of their culpability in the deaths of thousands of innocent children, while the other is an indiscriminate call for violence against people of a particular religion.
Arson is obviously not acceptable, but frankly I'm not going to shed a single tear over churches having metaphorical blood spilled on them.
