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.

Her polls are improving.

Time for a Frexit.

They will keep this up until A) they win and all Frenchmen and Woman are Islamic Sharia loving people or B) They exterminate these sub-human savages—every one—send them back to the middle east or C) Use Hitler’s Final Solution and destroy the whole people and their beliefs.

I don’t think they would admit to a full beheading of a priest at the foot of his alter. If you have seen any of the videos if the beheadings these animals do it starts off looking like they are slitting throats

Why indeed?

The target was known (specifically named) to high-level French authorities for over a year.

The killers were known to police and were on terror watch lists, one wore an electronic tracking device.

The church itself, if advised of these facts, could have had a volunteer, such as a concealed carry parishioner, in the pews at masses... oh, wait.

In more and more American churches there are parishioners in the pews with guns in their waistbands. I notice that several men in my church have taken to wearing large untucked aloha shirts. Someone bursting through the door with an AK will receive fire from several directions. Someone running down the aisle with a knife will not get much past the door. It also helps that the it is a tight congregation and strangers are noticed. Slipping quietly into a pew won’t prevent being taken note of.

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

Strike the shepherd and the sheep will scatter. Perhaps this heinous act will strike the hearts of local catholics and draw them back to their faith.

I hope you are wrong. I still put my hand on my heart at the pledge of allegiance because I still believe in the constitution. By maybe it is only spiritual.

“Perhaps this heinous act will strike the hearts of local catholics and draw them back to their faith.”

That’s a really good point NYer. That would be something good to come out of it for sure.

Freegards, thanks for all the pings

Yeah... I try to be a forgiving man and assume that even those people who are infested with demons are souls that Jesus Christ would like to win back. But there comes a point when I can take only so much. I apologize to my Creator if this is wrong of me, but I now reject those human hosts of Muslim<->Satanic demons.

You are not alone.

I've reached my breaking point with muslims long ago.

I used to think that there really wasn't anyone I would want to see burn in hell for eternity.

Muslims have changed my mind about that.

Honestly, in addition to burning, they also ought to feel every bit of pain they've ever inflicted on anyone else ever in the name of their religion.

I just cannot deal with what I hear coming from them any more.

WHY is the Pope trying to make nice with these savage vermin? One of his brother priests was murdered during the Mass.

Has the pope made any official comment on this yet?

I've seen nothing.

I know some men in my church pack.

And I know they are real men who would lay their lives on the line to protect the rest of us.

No shooter would get far in our church.

My wife goes to church in Carlsbad CA. In San bernardino when they look at the commuter files “A church in Carlsbad” was a potential target.

They now have security with radio and armed responders somewhere on grounds during services.

What a sad commentary on what our once great nation has degenerated to.

The weak and complicit president is forcing us to pay attention. But he is letting it get bigger and i think there’s much more trouble ahead.
