Two mosques vandalized in France

[Scurrilous]

<snip>

"Vandals scrawled swastikas and racist slogans on the walls of two mosques in France and set fire to one of them on Sunday, the day French Muslims started celebrating Ramadan.

In the town of Quimper in western France, 6 swastikas were painted in green on the walls of the Penhars Mosque.

Local government official Philippe Paolantoni said a neighbor spotted the fire inside the mosque at around 4 a.m. and firefighters were called to the scene."

"French television and radio reported that racial insults and swastikas were also scrawled on the walls of a mosque in Carcassonne in southern France.

The Movement against Racism (MRAP) condemned the attacks and said they were a consequence of a link that was increasingly being made between Islam and terrorism, as well as talk of the "Islamisation" of France by far-right politicians in the run up to next year's presidential election."

2. I hope Europe can defeat its nascent problem of fascism

We here in the United States appear to be losing the fight against fascism here. Hitler must be laughing at how far we've fallen.
