Searchlight Germany reported:
The over 800-year-old Basilica of Saint-Denis in France was heavily vandalised this week, with vandals smashing stained glass windows and severely damaging the nearly 200-year-old organ.
The destruction was discovered on Sunday morning by the basilica’s organist, who found that the engine of the organ had been damaged along with other parts of the massive instrument, designed between 1834 and 1841, Le Parisien reports.
Saadia Tamelikecht, head of the departmental unit of architecture and heritage of the heavily migrant-populated Seine-Saint-Denis suburbs, said the damage to the instrument, which has been recognised as a historic monument of significance in France, was major.The vandalism was likely done, according to Tamelikecht, as a result of someone hiding within the instrument and smashing their way out.
Later, even more damage was discovered, with two stained glass windows having been smashed along with two locks that had been pried open. The windows were created in the 19th century, rebuilt after the destruction of the French revolution. Police say they are investigating the incidents.
The vandalism comes just under a year after the Basilica was stormed by far-left activists and illegal migrants who occupied the place of worship to protest a law directed at curbing illegal migration into France.

Hmm...
Charles ("The Hammer") Martel
It is un-islamic so it must be destroyed.
Ah, yes...The Hammer.....who hammered the MUZZYS back out of Europe way back when..AND for whom the MUZZYS have a great hatred -—for sure...
And bout a 1000 years later, John III Sobieski, King of Poland, whomped the Muzzys AGAIN to save Europe from those heathen..
Get the picture, if alive, THEY WILL COME BACK !!!
Look for more vandalizing of religious institutions.
Boo hoo.
“Look for more vandalizing of religious institutions.”
France has had recently what, riots EVERY weekend for months! Their 4th of July gets a 1000 cars burned !
Our MSM tells us NUTTIN bout these things..or the RAPE OF SWEDEN !!
Then in 1492 Isabella and Ferdinand completed the 700 year Reconquista and threw the last of the moors out of Andalucia.
Then in 1571, at the Battle of Lepanto, the Holy League, led by the Venetian Republic and the Spanish Empire, inflicted a major defeat on the fleet of the Ottoman Empire in the Gulf of Patras (modern Greece), ending Ottoman military expansion into the Mediterranean.
Yes, they keep coming and coming and coming. Reminds me of World War Z.
The sans-culottes who took over Paris during the French revolution actually marched to St Denis and opened the tombs,and took the very bones of the Kings of France and tossed them in the river.After the restoration of the monarchy they managed to recover enough of them to put things back the way they were,or so they claimed...
“Saadia Tamelikecht, head of the departmental unit of architecture and heritage of the heavily migrant-populated Seine-Saint-Denis suburbs”
Saadia Tamelikecht? Very French sounding name.
Nothing like having a feminist Muslim protect a French-Christian patrimony.
We get mice in the house when the thermometer plunges. We trap them out and toss their mortal remains by the stream for the foxes and crows. Till the next time.
It's called maintenance. And vigilance. We have no right to complain. That's what civilization, which is a gift, requires.
Charles Martel saved Europe from becoming a caliphate. We could all be speaking Arabic today and reading from our Korans if it weren’t for his courageous leadership and actions. One of the real turning points of history was the battlefield nears Tours in 732 A.D.
The threat, unfortunately, is still real but dispersed. They move into countries, take up residence, and disrupt societies and governments through terrorism and subversion. Most of Europe is now asleep at the switch unfortunately.
Lock Merkel up.
The only solution for the mooselimb problem, is the final solution. Eradication of all cock roaches would be easier than the elimination of the mooselimbs terrorists.
“Nuke all mooselimb terrorists, today”
Nuke the ROCK they worship !
I’m actually at the place where I want the Muslims annihilated before they annihilate us.
In my opinion it was more likely to be radical supporters of deviant sexuality. I would put certain feminists at the top of that list.
Basilica of Saint-Denis ping
Diversity at work.
Those 800 year old stained glass windows were older than their whole stupid “religion”.
