Elderly priest, 86, is 'beheaded' by two ISIS knifemen shouting 'Allahu Akbar' after they took nuns and worshippers hostage at French church: Police shoot both attackers dead then search for bombs:
A priest has been 'beheaded' by two ISIS knifemen who cut his throat after bursting into a French church and taking nuns and worshippers hostage before being shot dead by police.
Five people including the 86-year-old priest, two nuns and two parishioners were held by assailants who raided the church in Saint-Etienne-du-Rouvray near Rouen in Normandy during morning mass at 9am.
The clergyman, named as Jacques Hamel, is believed to have been beheaded during the attack while another hostage is fighting for life in hospital.
The two attackers were 'neutralised' by marksmen as they emerged from the building, which is now being searched for explosives. French president Francois Hollande said the men 'claimed to be from' ISIS while the terror group has claimed responsibility through its news agency.
There were reports the attackers shouted 'Allahu Akbar' as they ran outof the church while at least one of the men was dressed in Islamic clothing.
It comes as it emerged that the building was one of a number of Catholic churches on a terrorist 'hit list' found on a suspected ISIS extremist last April.
There are also reports that one of the attackers was a local resident who was under electronic tag surveillance having been jailed in France for trying to travel to Syria in 2015. His bail terms allowed him to be unsupervised between 8.30am and 12.30pm - the attack happened between 9am and 11.am.

Indeed.
Godspeed to our martyred brother in Christ. Jesus promised us that those who die for Him will earn a special place in eternal Heaven.
"See, I told you that these were law-abiding members of France's multi-culture!"

It was her. She was there to hear the speech by her good buddy The Cubanadian IIRC.
He and hillary are probably comparing the tingles they felt up their respective legs when they first heard of this greusome news.
“Priest’s head falls off in freak knife mishap.”

There is almost no freedom of speech left in Europe, but we can still send links.

Amen. Blessings on this man of God who did not seek martyrdom, but who died in the cause of Christ. May his comfort and reward be everlasting.
Liberalism, Socialism the toxic mix for cultural and social suicide.
As a Catholic, this has hit me very hard - not that I am not shocked and angry at all the attacks. But an elderly priest; how awful. And what about the nuns?
Catholic Churches in France, while not very crowded like most western churches, offer some of the most beautiful Masses on the face of the earth. Choirs and violin-playing nuns are not unusual. The French sense of beauty is very strong.
I hope this priest is in paradise. Please God!
I used to wonder at the reference in Revelations of the Saints that were beheaded for the testimony of Christ.
I wonder no more.
At least he honored the terms of his bail agreement. /S
But Trump made fun of somebody. Now that’s a serious problem! /s
MOZLUMS OUT OF US!
COMMUNISTS OUT OF US!
We better invade ourselves first... Like we don’t have the same problem.
Revelation 20:4
I saw thrones, and sitting on those thrones were the ones who had been given the right to judge. I also saw the souls of the people who had their heads cut off because they had told about Jesus and preached God’s message.
They were the same ones who had not worshiped the beast or the idol, and they had refused to let its mark be put on their hands or foreheads. They will come to life and rule with Christ for a thousand years.

That is so unfair of them attacking a church. We would never attack a holy mosque.
