Germany’s Bavaria Orders Christian Crosses in All State Buildings
The German state of Bavaria has ordered Christian crosses to be placed at the entrances to its public buildings.
Premier Markus Söder said Crosses should not be seen as religious symbols but as a “clear avowal of our Bavarian identity and Christian values“.
But opponents said the ruling Christian Social Union (CSU) was trying to score points ahead of October’s election amid fears of a rise of the far right.
Crosses are compulsory in public school classrooms and courtrooms.
The decree, which comes into effect on 1 June, will not affect municipal and federal government buildings in the predominantly Roman Catholic southern state.
“The cross is a fundamental symbol of our Bavarian identity and way of life,” Mr Söder said in a statement (in German). “It stands for elemental values such as charity, human dignity and tolerance.“
He denied the measure violated constitutional rules about religious neutrality and, on Twitter, said he had placed a cross in the lobby of the state chancellery in Munich.

Saudi Arabia Beheads Ethiopian woman accused of killing seven-year-old girl
Saudi Arabia has executed an Ethiopian woman convicted of killing a Saudi girl. It is believed Zamzam Abdullah Boric cut the seven-year-old’s throat and left the girl bleeding to death in the bathroom, news agency AFP quoted the Saudi interior ministry as saying.
The motive behind the murder was not clear. Boric’s age and profession were not disclosed.
The kingdom has a long history of executions of foreign workers, often accused of killing their employers.
In December 2013, Saudi Arabia sentenced to death an Ethiopian woman accused of killing the six-year-old daughter of her employer. The 26-year-old woman, who worked as a housemaid, was arrested shortly after killing the girl.
My Note: The enemies of Christ often choose Christian Holidays and Sundays in making sacrifice to their idol gods – and most of those barbaric executions in the Saudi Serfdom are carried out by beheading with a sword.
On Monday, September 26, Ethiopians were celebrating one of their dearest Holidays, Meskel. There are two occasions on Meskel. The first is Demera (September 26). On the next day of Demera comes the Meskel festivity. It’s also on this very day that Saudi agent, Hildabeast bewitched Donald Trump during the debate. Remember
The timing for beheading of the Ethiopian Lady and others by the Saudi barbarians is not accidental.
On September 11, 2001, on Ethiopia’s New Year’s Day, they crossed the Red Sea, traveled 6000 miles across the Atlantic Ocean to sacrifice 3000 Americans in New York.
There are many unregistered and unreported human rights violations and cruelties in this beastly Serfdom.
Here are some of the “reported” news:

Islamic Hate for the Christian Cross
Last May in Italy, a Muslim boy of African origin beat a 12-year-old girl during school because she was wearing a crucifix around her neck. The African schoolboy, who had only started to attend the school approximately three weeks earlier, began to bully the Christian girl—“insulting her and picking on her in other ways all because she was wearing the crucifix”—before he finally “punched the girl violently in the back.”
What is it about the Christian cross that makes some Muslims react this way?

The fact is, Islamic hostility to the cross is an unwavering fact of life—one that crosses continents and centuries; one that is very much indicative of Islam’s innate hostility to Christianity.
Doctrine and History
Because the Christian cross is the quintessential symbol of Christianity—for all denominations, including most forms of otherwise iconoclastic Protestantism—it has been a despised symbol in Islam.
According to the Conditions of Omar—a Medieval text which lays out the many humiliating stipulations conquered Christians must embrace to preserve their lives and which Islamic history attributes to the second “righteous caliph,” Omar al-Khattab—Christians are “Not to display a cross [on churches]… and “Not to produce a cross or [Christian] book in the markets of the Muslims.”
The reason for this animosity is that the cross symbolizes the fundamental disagreement between Christians and Muslims. According to Dr. Sidney Griffith, author of The Church in the Shadow of the Mosque, “The cross and the icons publicly declared those very points of Christian faith which the Koran, in the Muslim view, explicitly denied: that Christ was the Son of God and that he died on the cross.” Thus “the Christian practice of venerating the cross and the icons of Christ and the saints often aroused the disdain of Muslims,” so that there was an ongoing “campaign to erase the public symbols of Christianity, especially the previously ubiquitous sign of the cross.”
Islam’s hostility to the cross, like all of Islam’s hostilities, begins with the Muslim prophet Muhammad. He reportedly “had such a repugnance to the form of the cross that he broke everything brought into his house with its figure upon it.” He once ordered someone wearing a cross to “take off that piece of idolatry” and claimed that at the end times Jesus himself would make it a point to “break the cross”—an assertion the Islamic State regularly makes.
Islamic history following Muhammad is riddled with anecdotes of Muslims cursing and breaking crosses. Prior to the Battle of Yarmuk in 636, which pitted the earliest invading Muslim armies against the Byzantine Empire, Khalid bin al-Walid, the savage “Sword of Allah,” told the Christians that if they wanted peace they must “break the cross” and embrace Islam, or pay jizya and live in subjugation—just as his Islamic State successors are doing today in direct emulation. The Byzantines opted for war.
In Egypt, Saladin (d. 1193)—regularly touted in the West for his “magnanimity”—ordered “the removal of every cross from atop the dome of every church in the provinces of Egypt,” in the words of The History of the Patriarchate of the Egyptian Church.
Europe: Growing Violence against the Cross
Centuries later, not much has changed concerning Islam’s position towards the cross, though much has changed in Western perceptions. In other words, an African boy punching a Christian girl in Italy for her crucifix is part of a long continuum of Islamic hostility for the cross. Perhaps he learned this hatred in mosque—the same European mosques where Islamic State representatives call Muslims to jihad?
After all, earlier this year in Italy, another crucifix was destroyed in close proximity to a populated mosque. The municipality’s Councilor, Giuseppe Berlin, did not mince words concerning the identity of the culprit(s):
Before we put a show of unity with Muslims, let’s have them begin by respecting our civilization and our culture. We shouldn’t minimize the importance of certain signals; we must wake up now or our children will suffer the consequences of this dangerous and uncontrolled Islamic invasion.
Nor is Italy the only European nation experiencing this phenomenon. In neighboring France, a “young Muslim” committed major acts of vandalism at two churches. Along with twisting a massive bronze cross, he overturned and broke two altars, the candelabras and lecterns, destroyed statues, tore down a tabernacle, smashed in a sacristy door and even broke some stained-glass windows. (Click for images.)
And in Germany, a Turkish man who checked himself into a hospital for treatment went into a sudden frenzy because there were “too many crosses on the wall.” He called the nurse a “bitch” and “fascist” and became physically aggressive.
Of course, other times Europeans willingly capitulate to Islamic hostility for the cross. Real Madrid, a professional football (soccer) team in Spain reportedly stripped the traditional Christian cross from its club crest as part of a deal with the National Bank of Abu Dhabi—“so as not to offend Muslim sensibilities in the United Arab Emirates.” And in the United Kingdom, offensive crucifixes are being removed from prisons in order not to offend Muslim inmates (who are further provided with food baths for Islamic rituals).
„I for one am sick of being nice to these savages. What a shame that Europe has lost its faith. I celebrate the crusades and the brave French Knights that took the fight to the enemies of God. If only we could rekindle that crusader spirit and once again take the fight to the enemy. Instead we sit by while Christians are murdered and tortured all over the Muslim world. And then like fools we invite this disgusting vile faith to take root in our own countries. Our children and grandchildren will curse our memories as they are forced to submit to this medieval death cult.„
„Islam is satanic at its very core and is satan’s religion. Muslims hate the cross because satan hates the cross. They do what their father the devil does. The cross of Christ is satan’s doom and he knows it!„

In a highly significant move, ministers will fight a case at the European Court of Human Rights in which two British women will seek to establish their right to display the cross.
It is the first time that the Government has been forced to state whether it backs the right of Christians to wear the symbol at work.
A document seen by The Sunday Telegraph discloses that ministers will argue that because it is not a “requirement” of the Christian faith, employers can ban the wearing of the cross and sack workers who insist on doing so.
