ZitatCOLUMBUS, Ind. - Columbus Police said they've never had anything like it - three churches vandalized in the same night.
Someone spray painted them on the outside. It's the words used, though, that have some people asking if this was more than a prank.
“It was just one word. It said ‘Infidels!'” Father Doug Marcotte said of what was spray painted on Saint Bartholomew's Catholic Church in Columbus overnight Saturday.
Parishioners saw that, along with the word "Qur'an 3:151" on their way into mass Sunday morning.
“It's certainly not a warm and fuzzy verse. It talks about the infidels, their refuge being the fire,” explained Father Marcotte.
Specifically, that passage of the Qur'an reads: "We will cast terror into the hearts of those who disbelieve for what they have associated with Allah of which He had not sent down [any] authority. And their refuge will be the Fire, and wretched is the residence of the wrongdoers."
Saint Bartholomew's wasn't the only Columbus church vandalized.
“It's really bizarre and the fact that they hit two other Christian Churches. It's not like we're all in a line. So why did they pick the three of us,” asked Father Marcotte.
Outside East Columbus Christian Church and Lakeview Church of Christ, members there found the same kind of graffiti Sunday morning.
I do believe ISIS may have arrived here in Indy. Heads up.
All I know is it will be crickets from the injustice department and local law enforcement. In fact all the local law enforcement is doing is, "We just don't know who is responsible", bla bla bla, "It just might be teens doing a prank shaking everyone up" yadda yadda. Barf.
And they spout this garbage completely cognizant that the Islamic Society of North America has its headquarters in Plainfield, IN (just about an hour north of where these churches were hit) and is a known site by the FBI as a terrorist training camp.

Oh, there would be hell to pay. CAIR would be given a prime time soapbox to broadcast their hissy fit and The Bureau of Thought Crimes would beat the bushes until the perps were located.
