The assault on St. John’s Episcopal Church by radicals and racists was the ugliest moment of the D.C. riots. Not only was the famous 204-year-old church, which every president since Madison has attended, sprayed with graffiti, but some of the thugs even tried to burn it down by starting a fire in its basement.
Frontpage Mag –Daniel Greenfield The victims of New York City’s leftist riots included St. Patrick’s Cathedral as the venerable 142-year-old building was defaced with obscenities and the three letters BLM for Black Lives Matter, along with “George Floyd” and “No Justice, No Peace”.
In Richmond, Virginia, Beth Ahabah, a 225-year-old Reform Jewish congregation, had the windows in its grand 116-year-old building smashed by rioters. The building is now covered over with plywood. St. Paul’s Episcopal Church, a 175-year-old building, also in Richmond, was defaced with graffiti. Finally, rioters in Richmond broke the windows of the West Broad Church of Christ, an African-American congregation. They left intact the one pane of glass reading, “Welcome”.
The Cathedral Basilica of the Immaculate Conception in Denver, a 108-year-old building, was at the center of some of the local riots, including the hit-and-run of three Denver police officers, and suffered permanent damage. The walls were also vandalized with graffiti reading, “Pedofiles” and “God is dead”.
Some of the windows of the facility were broken and the gates were badly damaged.
In Los Angeles, Congregation Beth Israel’s walls were defaced with graffiti reading, “Fuck Israel” and “Free Palestine”.
The hateful messages that defaced the Denver cathedral and the Los Angeles synagogue were leftist (and Islamic) in ideology. They also had nothing to do with racism or any of the imaginary causes of the riots. Instead they are evidence that the radicals are settling their pre-existing grudges with churches and synagogues.
The largest sustained burst of synagogue vandalism took place in Los Angeles. The Fairfax area, home to both leftist hipsters and traditionalist Orthodox Jews, was heavily targeted by the rioters who, in addition to looting stores, defaced multiple synagogues, including the aforementioned Congregation Beth Israel, Beit Medrash Kehilat Yaakov (Congregation of Jacob), the synagogue of Rabbi Gershon Bess, the most important Jewish religious leader in the city, as well as Congregation Tiferes Tzvi and the Young Israel of Hancock Park. ‘
Three religious schools, Bais Yaakov School for Girls, Bnos Devorah High School, and Ohr Eliyahu Academy, were also vandalized.
Rioters tried to deface the Shaarei Tefila (Gates of Prayer) synagogue in the area, but members of Magen Am, a security organization protecting houses of worship, whose instructors include former IDF and Navy SEAL members, protected the synagogue from being vandalized by the leftist rioters.
Some of the ugliest graffiti was reserved for the Baba Sale synagogue of Moroccan Jewish refugees named after the Rabbi who had helped lead Moroccan Jews out of the Muslim country and to Israel.
Not only did the racist thugs spray paint “BLM” on it, but also added, “fuckin’ pigs” and “help minorities”. The congregation, which had reopened, is now closed.
Many Jewish store owners were unaware of the pogrom being carried out against their houses of worship and businesses. And there is at least some evidence that the pogromists were deliberately targeting Jews.
A local milliner reported cars driving down the street and screaming, “Fucking Jews”.
Rioters also targeted Our Lady of Mt. Lebanon-St. Peter Cathedral, a Maronite Catholic church in Los Angeles. The 83-year-old cathedral is also home to a middle eastern refugee congregation.
And the Black Lives Matter bigots reminded them of the persecution that they had fled by scrawling, “Kill All Cops” and “Make America Pay for its Crimes Against Black Lives” on its iconic exterior.
In Dallas, the Saint Jude Chapel in Downtown Dallas had its windows smashed in with rocks. While the Saint Jude doesn’t quite look like a traditional church, the words, “Saint Jude Catholic Chapel” above its entrance are very clear and impossible to miss.
The Cathedral of the Assumption, the fourth oldest building in Louisville, and the third oldest Catholic Cathedral in regular use in this country, suffered damage when rioters shattered the windows of its rectory. The historic building’s facade is now covered with plywood boards.
In Santa Rosa, a window in the Unitarian Universalist Congregation was smashed in. “Clearly, he didn’t see the ‘Black Lives Matter’ banner in our window,” Rev. Chris Bell complained.
One of the more serious radical attacks on houses of worship took place in Little Rock, Arkansas when a fire at the Lewis Street Church of Christ burned through the roof.
In Minneapolis, where all the hate and rage began, the 106-year-old Basilica of Saint Mary, the first basilica in the country, suffered fire damage when a fire was started under a pew.
And in St. Paul, the Church of St. Mark was tagged with graffiti.
There are also reports that numerous other churches and synagogues have been defaced.
While the media has tried to pretend that the assault on St. John’s Episcopal Church was an accident or an aberration, the sheer number of incidents from New York City to Los Angeles make it clear that the Black Lives Matter and Antifa riots displayed a nationwide pattern of targeting houses of worship.
The Left infiltrates churches and synagogues, but NOT mosques. Its faith is not directed toward any power higher than government, its prayers are uttered in regulations and academic papers, its theology is practiced by smashing glass and shattering doors, and churches and synagogues have always been its targets. When its stormtroopers are loosed in the streets, they go to war against those who believe.
There is an inquisition in America today. And it punishes heresies, such as proclaiming that all lives matter, or believing in anything other than social justice, with social pressure, loss of work, and force.
What the theorists who would be gods hate above all else is those who reject them and believe in God.
By destroying our churches and synagogues, they are doing more than damaging our property (although that is bad enough). They are bit by bit eroding our history.
Here are my thoughts on why they will not touch mosques. First, these riots are hiding many muslimes and they are lumped together with the blacks. Many black people I’ve seen on various videos don’t want these riots either. But I haven’t seen a single muslime denounce them.
Second, it’s become okay to torch synagogues and churches, because Christian and Jewish lives no longer matter. Only black lives matter. And muslimes are the right colour so they get a free pass.
Third, muslimes are like pack hunters. By themselves they’re useless, but in crowds they can do a lot of damage. So everyone’s scared to touch a mosque.
Last but not least: why would a non-muslime want to enter one of these demon-pits? They’re full of the germs and filth of the occupants who shove their asses in the air five or six times a day. They’re pretty much off-limits even to cockroaches.
Good analysis, LZP.
Destroy the effers. every last one.
When we look at the many, many cases of Islamic attacks in the USA, including the most notorious, the 9/11 hijacked jet airliner attack into the NYC World Trade Center, the crazy, evil rioters are not mad at all against the Muslims, they are only boiling mad at the Non Muslims, especially Non Muslims who own shops and businesses and at the Christian churches and Jewish synagogues who have nothing to do with politics, racism, etc. Those rioters will not harm a mosque regardless of all the numerous terrorist attacks done by the Muslims in American society and the preaching of Muslims to kill all infidels in the USA.
Of course, demonic forces would never deface the house of Satan (mosques).
That absolutely NO mosques are marked with graffiti or being damaged in any way clearly shows that the God Haters who are attacking our churches and synagogues are MUSLIMS.
Muslims are maliciously making good, PEACEFUL black protestors look bad by perpetrating their Jew Hater/Christian Hater dirty, demonic acts.
United with Soros paid ANTIFA domestic terrorists, Muslim God haters want to divide the races and start a race war.
All races must be a united people! United we Stand. Divided we Fall.
Linda, they’re not all Muslims, but Muslims are among them.
shoot them on sight
Death to the Left, Democrats, and George Soros.
Why?
Because they can.
Because NO ONE is stopping them.
The successors of Hitler’s SA
What is SA?
Sturmabteilung = Storm Troopers — the brownshirt paramilitary group attached to the Nazi Party.
OK, thanks.
I read this morning that the Statue of Gandhi outside the Indian Embassy in DC was attacked which makes zero sense whatsoever… I noticed early on that these low life thugs were attacking ONLY Churches and Synagogues and not mosques which made wonder who these scumbags really are and that none of the Governors of these DEMOCRATIC States are willing to do what the President suggested by bring in the National Guard and perhaps what these Governor really want is for Trump to bring in the Army and then they can call him a dictator proclaiming martial law.
This is all about bringing down Trump in November but I look forward to seeing these rioting morons scream at the sky one more time, only louder this time, when people see the good Trump has done rather than anything they disagree with and re-elect him.
How can The Left be so against a President that wants to end these endless Wars and wants to bring the Troops home rather than trying to fix countries that really cant be fixed by us, nor should we even try.
I’ve suspected since it happened that this was another attempt to bring down Trump. It worried me when a poll found Biden leading Trump in Arizona, because the Left have a rigorous social-media campaign going and because they will lie, cheat, and stop at nothing to oust the duly elected President. At the root of the vicious anti-Trump sentiment and the frenzied TDS of the MSM is an upset of the global agenda. Trump threw a spanner in their works and they’ve never gotten over it.
But it encouraged me to learn that riots usually shift the public views towards conservatism. I hope those pundits are correct.
LZP, please pay no attention to these polls. They are media-driven rigged polls in favor of democrats and only poll 25% Republicans. If you recall, Hillary Clinton led in every poll right up to the election.
This really shouldn’t surprise anyone, both Antifa & BLMs, plus other groups, are being funded & infiltrated by Muslims. Mostly the Muslim Brotherhood.
I read this about the above groups at least 2-years ago.
exactly…follow the money…surprisingly our government does nothing about it…all media outlets are heavily corrupted by muslim funding also…
Attacking churches and synagogues shows that what domestic terrorists ANTIFA HATE more than anything is God. The HOLY ONE who dwells in unapproachable.
They abhor and cannot stand God’s Perfect Love. God’s PURITY, HOLINESS and Absolute Goodness.

OMG! Time to bring in the military.
When the dems have defunded the police out of their cities.
The military will be needed to protect them.
James, that’s the next thing they want to defund.
Bonni ..look at you tube ” Idaho welcome party”
Apparently they were waiting for antifa to turn up..
It may inspire other cities and towns to get together..
God knows what we will do here in UK once this starts here…
Which I’m sure it will….
Stay safe..
I saw it!
Hope and pray these farmers have plenty of ammunition to mow down those POS. They wouldn’t be arrested as they’d be defending their families and properties. Of course it’s Illinois so who knows.
They need to arm themselves Illegally or not,,
This is exactly how it started in Africa…..
it is probably funded by the same people behind this.
can’t the national guard prepare a reception for these loonies?
We never get to hear any of this in UK…
Our msm is as corrupt as yours..
My prayers are with you.
