A Muslim immigrant from Gambia torched the Nativity Scene at the Madonna del Rosario church in Foggia, Italy this Christmas.
He also destroyed the Mary statue.
The Muslim moved to Italy two years ago.
The Express reported, via Jihad Watch:
A MUSLIM migrant who ‘wanted to destroy Christian symbols’ has been arrested for setting fire to a church Nativity scene.
The homeless man was caught in the act by the church’s priest, who notified authorities.
They rushed to the scene and fought to restrain the man, who was suffering from a “visible psycho-physical crisis”.
According to local reports, the 25-year-old Gambian told police he was a Muslim and wanted to destroy Christian symbols.
As well as setting fire to the scene, he destroyed a statue of Mary.
