ISIS knifemen 'forced French priest to kneel and filmed themselves slitting his throat
Mirror ^ | July 26, 2016

The ISIS terrorists who carried out the France church attack forced a parish priest to kneel before filming themselves slitting his throat, it has emerged.

Father Jacques Hamel, 86, was made to get to his knees before he was brutally butchered at the church in Normandy today, says a nun who escaped the attack.

His two murderers captured the slaying on a mobile phone, according to Sister Danielle, who was one of several worshippers taken hostage during morning mass.

They then performed a 'sermon' around the altar in Arabic - as armed cops rushed to the scene and terrified members of the congregation fled for their lives.

Before his death, Father Hamel courageously tried to defend his parishioners, says the distraught nun, who raised the alarm after fleeing the church.

"They forced him to kneel and he tried to defend himself and that is how the drama started," she told RMC radio this afternoon.

We the People of the United States, in Order to . . . provide for the common defense . . . do ordain and establish this Constitution . . .

But, it isn’t in the reelection interest of politicians to risk angering a constituency.

Government is its own faction. Elections alone are at best insufficient, and at worst, pointless.

===Is this start of a trend?===

This is a trend indeed. But, it's not new. It's many hundreds years old. Why so activated now? It's simple. It's childish simple. The West (the countries of the post-Christian civilization)created the ideology so called “Political Correctness” which gives the jihadists the free hand to act.

The West reacts too late and always after, which is always the blind shot as they cannot, or even do not want to, face the truth - it's Islam, not a bunch of the so called “jihadists” or “islamists” to blame.

So, doing this we make ourselves defenseless and just invite them to kill us.

Islam should be officially banned all over the Western Culture as an ideology of crime which is contradictory to all human right acts of the Western World since the Hellenic times.

Actually, you may call me a bigot, but, to me it's obvious that the West, which rejected the merciful Christ, will have to face the ruthless Allah since “the nature knows no void”, as a Polish proverb says.

Try to watch this carefully. To a large extent, it's still up to date, I think: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OwRTBmLaTU8

Something I read earlier said that one of the perps had an electronic monitor because of an earlier conviction. Truly odd thing was that, according to that piece, he was not required to wear it between something like 8.30A and noon!

Piece I saw earlier said that this church and others had been on a list found in April! Why wasn’t there some sort of warning and protection?

Can’t quite spit out the words... These atrocities occur on a daily basis, yet world leaders choose to acknowledge and act upon the root cause.

Of course the authorities knew of them. One already had an ankle bracelet so who the heck was supposed to be monitoring him? They knew the church was on the “kill list” over a year ago. They always know about them but never lift a finger to protect the citizens.

If just one of the congregation had been carrying, this wouldn’t have happened. Bunch of lily livered wimps. Can we assume there were a few hundred in attendance? However many, they far outnumbered the terrorists. Did no one try to help?

“I thought the Normans were a tougher breed of Frenchmen.”

Are you including 86 year old frail priests?

Poor man. No one should have to suffer that kind of cruel torture.

Sounds like a daily Mass with less than 10 people, like old nuns and women and an old priest.

WHY is the Pope trying to make nice with these savage vermin?

One of his brother priests was murdered during the Mass.

Maintainance of “the list” is everything. Nothing to see here, we had him on “the list”.
