Cases of vandalism in churches of Heraklion and graffiti in Arabic left by criminals, which have become more frequent, are causing the authorities and the Archdiocese of Crete serious concern, reports Sedmitza.ru, citing the Greek agency Romphea.

Another crime of this kind has been committed in a very small church of St. Marina not far from the village of Avgenika.  […]

  1. With an estimated 2 million illegal immigrants in Greece out of a total Greek population of 10 million what ever one thinks of Golden Dawn they are fighting against their extinction. If the governments of Europe did their job and protected their borders their would be no need for parties like Golden Dawn.
    At certain times when a country is under existential threat fascism sometimes is a necessity. . The German Nazi party did evil thing because Hitler embraced evil not because it was fascist. The Greek war time leader Ioannis Metaxas was also fascist. He banned the Nazi and communist parties in Greece and took a neutral stance in the War until Greece was invaded by Italy.

  2. Looks like Turkey has decided it is time to conquer the rest of Crete, now we must ask the rest of the world how they are going to react to the Turkish aggression?

    I will agree that Golden Dawn is fighting for Greek sovereignty and the right to remain non Moslem, in the near future that may be all that is needed for the few remaining free nations to decide that a group needs to be helped.

  3. Hitler was trying to court Metaxas to get him to join the Axis or at least remain neutral. Maybe He thought Metaxas was a natural ally, because other fascists states had allied with him like Romania.

    Mussolini saw Hitler conquering one country after another and so he invaded Greece from Albania which was under Italian control and promptly got owned. Hitler bailed Mussolini out.

    I do not particularly like the Golden Dawn, but I like them a whole lot better than a government that says “Border problem? We got no stinking border problem!”

    There was no need for an alternate press in the U.S. except the MSM fell down. Likewise as Antikythera pointed out there would be no need for Golden Dawn except previous Greek governments refuse to control illegal immigration.

  4. I can sympathize with folks who feel like strangers in their own country, betrayed by the feckless cowards in their own government , deaf to their outcry

  5. Blue I know what you mean, that is why I said in the future (probably the relatively near future) being against Islam is all that will be necessary for the west to consider them an ally.
