The continuing and endless flow of church attacks by illegal immigrants on the Greek island of Lesbos, St. Catherine in Moria was the last victim.
This is only the last incident, and rather, it has become extremely common when Greek Orthodox churches are vandalized and attacked by illegal immigrants on the island of Lesbos.
Last month, according to the Greek City Times, the main entrance to St. Raphael’s Church, located near the Moria migrant camp, was also attacked.
The latest incident in Lesbos followed other recent shocking events, including two gangs of Afghan immigrants fighting each other, African immigrants mocking and coughing at the police in the midst of the coronavirus pandemic, and thousands of destroyed olive trees.
Approximately half of the 50,000 illegal immigrants in Lesbos are being held at Camp Moria, which should receive only 3,000 people. An increase in crime has hit the island since the migration crisis began in 2015, when Turkey allowed hundreds of thousands of people to leave and enter Greece illegally, both by land and sea.
Lesbos, as an island with only 90,000 citizens, is one of the most affected areas in Greece.
As a deeply religious society, these attacks on churches shock the Greek people and lead them to wonder whether these illegal immigrants, seeking new life in Europe, are ready to integrate and conform to the norms and values of their new countries.
These ongoing attacks have ultimately led the people of Lesotho, who were nominated for the Nobel Peace Prize in 2016, to become increasingly disappointed with the unresolved situation that has restricted and changed their lives, as they no longer feel safe on their once crime-free island.
In addition to the increase in crime on the islands, this has also had a profound environmental impact, as waterways in Lesbos have become completely ruined by illegal immigrants.
