The first incident on 2nd February was against Cardinal Antonio Maria Rouco Varela, the Archbishop of Madrid, who was attacked by a mob of topless females shouting \u201cabortion is sacred.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>The second incident occurred on January 24th. A peaceful ball event\u2014called the \u201cAkademikerball\u201d\u2014held at Vienna was attacked by a \u201cleft-extremist mob.\u201d This was the third time this event has been attacked by such groups, under the pretense that the people who attend these balls are \u201cNazis.\u201d The intruders carried banners and shouted their slogan, \u201cYou can have our hate.\u201d Over two thousand police officers were eventually able to get rid of the militants, but not before the protesters had damaged shops and set cars of fire, inflicting approximately 1 million Euros in damage<\/p>\n<p>Unfortunately, the participants in the latter attack were supported by the Austrian \u201cGreen Alternative\u201d Party, which Mrs. Lunacek, the author of the Lunacek-Report, represents. While she is upset about hypothetical hate crimes being committed against homosexuals, she makes no apologies for the hate crimes actually committed by members of the party she supports.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: left;\"><strong>Find out how to join Christian Voice and stand up for the King of kings (clicking on the link below does not commit you to join)<\/strong><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><a href=\"http:\/\/wp.me\/P1OVTZ-gb\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-3940\" style=\"border: 0px;\" title=\"Join Today!\" alt=\"\" src=\"https:\/\/www.christianvoice.org.uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2012\/08\/Join_donate_Logo2.jpg\" width=\"185\" height=\"180\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p><em>Please note that persons wishing to comment on this story must enter a valid email address.
