He won’t say who the attackers are but it sounds like local Islamist goons pissed he put an Islamic crescent next to Christian and Jewish symbols.

Via Daily Mail:

A French graffiti artist has told how he was attacked by a gang after refusing to take down a mural calling for religious harmony in Paris.

He had just finished a design that featured the word ‘coexist’ written with a Muslim crescent for letter C, a Star of David as the X and a Christian cross as the ‘T’.

It was accompanied by a life-size self-portrait and his tag ‘combo’.

Four youths reportedly asked him to remove it and then attacked him when he refused, it was reported by Le Monde.

The attack has highlighted the religious tensions in the French capital that have flared up since last month’s massacre at the Charlie Hebdo newspaper by Islamist extremists.

Combo, also known as the Culture Kidnapper, revealed details of the assault on his Facebook page.

‘They were tired that I wasn’t giving, so they left me bleeding and fled,’ he wrote.

‘They promised me the same treatment if I did it again and told me to shave off my beard.’

He declined to discuss the identity of his attackers, saying ‘it would only add fuel to the fire’, adding: ‘I won’t forgive them for what they did of course, but I won’t seek revenge either.

‘I filed a complaint with the police and I trust the French judicial system to do its job.’
