This is way beyond parody, way beyond sarcasm. This is way beyond believable reality. They were shouting “Daesh” — i.e., “Islamic State” — and wearing Islamic clothing, while slitting a priest’s throat a la Qur’an 47:4 (“When you meet the unbelievers, strike the necks”) and the Telegraph tells us not once, but twice in the space of seven short paragraphs that his motive is unknown? Can you imagine being a reporter writing in Warsaw on September 1, 1939 that German soldiers were coming across the border in large numbers and killing Polish soldiers, and authorities were searching for their motive — while Polish authorities assured us that their open-borders policy would continue?
What did Fr. Jacques Hamel do? Did he draw Muhammad? How did he provoke the poor dears? Or maybe they’re coming for all non-Muslims, no matter how desperately the political and ecclesiastical leaders of Europe and North America try to placate them?
“Live / Normandy siege: knifemen ‘shouted Daesh and slit 84-year-old priest’s throat’ after taking nuns hostage in church before being shot dead,” by David Chazan and James Rothwell, Telegraph, July 26, 2016:
Police have shot dead two men who took a priest and several others hostage at knifepoint at a church in north-western France.
The men shouted “Daesh” and cut the priest’s throat before being “neutralised,” police said.
Le Figaro newspaper reported that the priest died after his throat was cut.
The men’s motives are still unknown. Elite police units rushed to the church in the Normandy town of Saint-Etienne-du Rouvray after the men seized a number of people including a priest and two nuns.
It remains unclear whether the hostage takers were killed in the police action.
A police source told AFP that one of the hostages has been killed. Up to six people were being held by the assailants.
The attackers’ motives are unknown and police have arrived at the scene, according to news website Normandie Actu.
The interior minister, Bernard Cazeneuve, is travelling to the church. Police sealed off the church, while ambulances are on the scene.

Priest identified as 84-year-old Father Jacques HamelThe priest has been named as Father Jacques Hamel, 84, according to Vincent Neymon, a spokesman for the Bishops’ Conference of France….
“Priest, 86, is ‘beheaded’ by two ‘Islamic knifemen’ after taking nuns and worshippers hostage at French church before police shoot them both dead and search building for explosives,” by Peter Allen In France and Julian Robinson, MailOnline, July 26, 2016:
An 86-year-old priest has been ‘beheaded’ by two ‘Islamic’ 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 priest, two nuns and two parishioners were held by assailants who raided the church in Saint-Etienne-du-Rouvray, near the city of Rouen in Normandy at 9am.
The clergyman, named as Jacques Hamel, is believed to have been beheaded during the attack while another hostage is fighting for their life in hospital.
The two attackers have been ‘neutralised’ by elite marksmen in a dramatic police operation while the building is being searched for explosives.
At least one of the men was dressed in Islamic clothing, according to French media reports, and an anti-terrorist unit has already taken up the investigation….

antikythera says
more clues to the motive?
Two men sneak into a church, take hostages and kill a priest by slitting his throat before reportedly shouting “Allahu Akbar”.

Jack Diamond says
According to the Daily Mail, “the building was one of a number of Catholic churches on a terrorist ‘hit list’ found on a suspected ISIS extremist last April.”
Carol Petrone says
…last April a list of Catholic Church targets was found? The killer wore a GPS bracelet? He was well known to authorities? Sacristans should conceal carry, and perhaps a peaceful-looking nun or two, as well. The EU/UN secretive placement of “refugees” into American towns must be exposed and stopped immediately. We’re next. Miserere Nobis!
Dom107 says
MMM I wonder what their motive was ?
I know !! They wanted the Euros in the poor box !!
Probably just two poor misunderstood youths practicing their Arabic and needing some money !
Anyway Pope Francis will forgive them and remember them in his prayers !
Long live the religion of pieces (of body parts) !!!

laura m. says
This proves for sure that there is no security anywhere in the EU and people will drop out of churches and churches will have to close. Other crowd gatherings will be avoided by those who can think logically. EU Marxist leaders are pushing for killing and mayhem to form a caliphate under tyrannical globalist control, probably with Muslim leaders controlling these countries. Cowardly Euro males are too busy with their smart phones playing games to wake up from their apathy. Europe is done with. Avoid travel there for any reason. It is foolish to go over there.
bernie says
Or, they should allow law-abiding non-Muslims to carry concealed firearms in churches, synagogues and elseweher, as is legal in parts of America. The priest himself, if he’d been armed, could have shot and killed those savages.
Angemon says
I can assure you that they did not utter the word “Daesh”.
funkilines says
I thought that too, isn’t Daesh a derogatory name for ISIS?
Ronen says
It is not derogatory. It is the acronym for the arabic ‘daula islamia fi iraq u shaam’ which equals isis.
gravenimage says
True.
Jack Diamond says
It’s an acronym for ISIS, but just using a made-up acronym is considered insulting and disrespectful to them. Because, acronyms are not commonly used in Arabic, and because this acronym is close to other words that lend themselves to satire. It deflates their pompous claims to authority, they find it derogatory, even if it is just an acronym for ISIS.
They also just call themselves Al-Dawla now.
gravenimage says
And “Al-Dawla” just means “the State”. It is another name for Caliphate.
Angemon says
It is. It’s the arabic acronym for “ISIS”, and it sounds like a couple of other words, none of which is flattering:

Yes.

I do remember reading that the daesh-imposed penalty for calling ISIS “daesh” is beheading or some other sort of execution based on the notion that calling ISIS daesh is “insulting to Islam.”

The depraved ignorance and mind-numbing stupidity of most of the media and political establishment is staggering when it comes to events like this.
France will need to continue this “state of emergency” for another 10 years at least, not just another measly three months.
dragaozao says
10 years? Let me tell you a true story. 20 years ago I was on vacation with my wife and we met a catholic nun, a person of great knowledge and easy convesation. She was well connected with the Vatican diplomacy oficials and, among other issues, we talked about islam, precisely in France. And, every time a jihad attack happens I remember her words: Europe has a lote to suffer for the next 50 years!!!
This was 20 years ago. At the time, no one jnew o Bin Ladin was. But, unlike the political and media elite, she knew the no-go-zones in France, she knew cases of attacks on people celebrating Christmas (all you need to see your window stoned was the light of the Christmas tree), etc.
50 years… starting now… as predicted 20 years ago.

If we do not act to take back our civilized lands, Europe will not be suffering for just ten years, or even fifty–but will continue to suffer until she becomes just another Muslim hell hole. Many places have been suffering for *over a millenium* now.

”This is way beyond parody, way beyond sarcasm. This is way beyond believable reality.”
Indeed. We are living in an alternative universe.

Alternative by choice. Muslims refuse to acknowledge that Jesus is greater than the murderer Mohammad:
“Yet a time is coming and has now come when the true worshipers will worship the Father in the Spirit and in truth, for they are the kind of worshipers the Father seeks. God is spirit, and his worshipers must worship in the Spirit and in truth.” (Jesus)
The cries of “allahu akbar” “allahu akbar” “allahu akbar” do not fall on deaf ears….
Satan rejoices as millions of muslims are mis-led into Hell.

Yes–Mirren–this is utter insanity. If the press can pretend that “motives are unknown” *in this case*, then they truly have no shame.

A clear case of Christophobia probably caused by PTSD and ADHD. Nothing to do with Islam or Jihad – just the usual mental problems so often found among Muslim refugees fleeing war and persecuting.

Anyone who says different is a greasy islamophobe , racist and hate monger!
Christianblood says
In the eyes of the Western, postmodernist, pro-islamic, politically-correct establishment rulers the solution to this problem is this: Assad must go! They are so blindly and so stupidly fixated on overthrowing president Assad that they cannot see the grave danger that their societies face at home. For example, a few days ago John Kerry came to Russia and held a 12-hour meeting with Russian leaders and his main point was this ridiculously stupid and childish “proposal”: (US will allow Russia to be part of the “coalition” fighting ISIS but Russia should stop backing Assad and Assad must go!).

Crossware you are correct but you don’t need a Division of Infantry to go in and kill him, 4 sniper teams could possibly do the job if he isnt hunkered down in a bunker 24/7 or indoors never passing an open site. It just might take 2-4 weeks.
Peggy says
Yep, I’ve been saying it all along. Muslims are imported for the purpose of enslaving us. They still need some of us to design, invent and build but they will need Muslims to keep us in line.
That’s how the masses are to be enslaved. Communism isn’t bad enough because the people are still educated, hold life sacred and evolve.
Muslims stay stuck in the 7th century, police each other and force blind obedience on even their own children.
Perfect.

So, CB – anything to say regarding this attack? Of course not. You can’t blame it on the US and the victim is not a Syrian Christian so you don’t give a s*** about the poor priest. Instead, simply parrot the propaganda you’re paid to spew – no respect for the victim, no empathy, not a shred of human soul dwelling anywhere near you. You don’t give a f*** about the French or the Germans victims of the recent jihad attacks, and you only pretend to care for the Syrian Christians because their bodies and their plight make good soap boxes for you to shout your propaganda from.
And you and the rest of your Human Centipede whine when I call you a ghoul…

No mention of “beheading” in the BBC report, they talk about “throat slitting” which I suppose sounds less barbaric? Always looking for that muslim silver lining.

In other related news, in an effort to expand terrorism, the Pope berates polish leaders for not embracing more of these ‘innocent’ barbarians.
Jerry says
These muslims are turning our nations into a Middle East slum. We are saturated now with the same ignorance and violence that has plagued them forever. I can easily imagine the silent cheering among muslims at the prospect of an islamic takeover. Hell, they cheer our death and misfortune all the time, 9/11 included. These are concerted attacks for the same reason–islamic jihad. We are literally at war, but our leaders are so feckless and in denial that islam is growing virtually unchecked. How many innocents must die before they’ll have the courage to admit the truth? Kids are mowed down with bullets, priests getting their throats slashed, cartoonists are slaughtered, women and kids are mass raped–I know a war when I see one. It’s not right to cling to false hopes with islam and muslims when so many are dying and suffering. There comes a time when one must face the truth and do the right thing. The left is always attacking our 2nd amendment. But they never have anything bad to say about islam’s jihad doctrine of hate that inspires thousands of muslims to kill and wage war. It’s a cowardly and deadly response that is destroying western civilization.
Muslims are attacking us on every front, in the church, on the street, in our education, our cities and towns, our politics, our pocket book…it’s time to put an end to the destruction of our peace and future prosperity. Islam has no place in America or the west.
Alexius Comnenus says
I agree! The Christianity and the Western civilization is under attack. It has been under attack for 14 centuries. Islam must be contained and isolated in the countries where it belong.
The Pope washed the feet of muslims and days after many Christians were killed.
The Pope will praised Fr. Hamel and go to proclaim that Islam is a good religion of peace and of love.
It make me sick! Many Catholic hierarchs are already bound to islam. The devil is doing a terrific work in the universal church. It is said in the scripture that before the Second Coming just a few true Christians will be left.
Islam takes a successful advantage being helped by our own government and politicians. Islamophobia is one of the many social tools they used to silence the population and make it submitted to Islamization.
Where there are muslims there is violence, crime, rape and sword.
Christopher471 says
On BFM TV tonight they had the usual bunch of apologists talking about how we can have ‘dialogue’ with muslims and a catholic spokesman saying that violence was not the way. Also one of the killers was known to the police; he’s tried to go to Syria twice. He was not detained in custody but was fitted with an electronic tag. The police wanted him detained in custody but they were overruled by a magistrate. They have now killed a priest in a church while conducting a service. All these killings are appalling but this is an attack on the heart of our Judeo-Christiann civilisation. These attacks are getting worse and will (as RS told us) multiply. They were happening every month; now they are almost every day somewhere in Europe.
France may be in a state of emergency but they cannot watch every church, every station and every street. We cannot put all the muslims in concentration camps. We cannot destroy all the mosques. The left would have a field day. The answers most come from our leaders but our leaders seem to have no answers. They say fine words but they are just words.
Ross A Lloyd says

Strange why nobody ever asks why the poor Europeans don’t resort to these tactics to gain their freedom from repressive regimes.
Stranger is why people actually pay a lot of money to vacation in the Islamic world where they have good weather and everything a country needs to to develop.
Are the Islamist fleeing climate change perhaps, as Kerry suggests? Maybe it has something to do with Islam itself?

And still, Pope Dhimmi the First will visit Poland soon and lecture the Poles about their Christian duty to accept “refugees,” because the invaders are the real victims. Perhaps the Pope should try defending the beleaguered Christians of the Middle East instead — or even the Catholic clergy of Europe.
CrossWare says
The Pope is already looking at the new “customers”. Christian church goers number dwindling and this nicely indoctrinated fanatic group is the new mass the Pope will adorn. Of course he would need to do some minor changes like switch over to Islam and his position will be called mufti but other than that just a normal business refocusing.
Jake Holan says
I heard one of Poland’s Ministers’ speak about having been a homogeneous society for hundreds of years,900, I believe he said and that the general consensus within his country is they don’t care to become multi-cultural when they see the results other European countries. I think the Pope’s Ecclesiastical Powers will have strong limitations in Poland. He is not JohnPaul2 or Pope Benedict. I fiind it most it most difficult to believe these 2 well grounded men would committed National, Cultural and Religious suicide. Don’t forget The current Pope was trained to look at the stars that’s his training. If he thinks he’s making headway with Muslims there just one thing he has to do. He invited a Muslim Mufti to come to the Vatican to pray with him.
Pope Paul ask the Royal Family for you, the Grand Mufti of Mecca and the Chef Rabbi Italy to Pray together in the Grand Mosque in Mecca, sit back don’t move and await your answer. After all progress is being made.

During the NATO bombing campaign of Serbia, Putin warned the west that they were bombing the wrong side and making a grave mistake for the future of Europe. He warned, that which had cursed the Serbs in Kosovo would soon be visited on Western Europe. People of Europe, America and the freedom loving world, are we starting to realise that it is time to awake? The Hijjah (immigration) is now entering full swing. The drums of Jihad in Western Europe now ring unabated. A new and disturbing line has been crossed..
The French Revolution was fueled by the unfathomable ignorance or Marie Antionette’s “Let them eat cake”, the upper class were out of touch whilst the people suffered.
Forward to France 2016, the ruling elites are out of touch and now “Letting Jihad eat you”
Stuart G says
In the Sky News Live section at 17.08 Asian time, the wording is
‘Perhaps unsurprisingly right wing Marie Le Pen has linked the attack to Islamic terrorists.’
Seriously? I mean who hasn’t? Yet the inference is clear, despite the overwhelming indications if your first thought is that is the work of Islamists then you must be racist.
The reporter must be ridiculed.
Jake Holan says
Actually the BS of the Race Card or Right-Wing Card (Not much difference on the far far ends of the spectrum of Right & Left they’re one in the same) they’re argument is easy to defeat. Pick out a dunce looking reporter who is used to hard impact follow up questions. When he/she starts pulling out the how can you condemn a People based on religion? Easy! You just opened an interview where you control the questions for him to ask so you can give your answer. The only problem is he has an Editor so you need to approach many media people representing different organizations. Pictures they won’t post. The real ones that show what terror does to the body & physical environment tweet and FB it to the News Media so people take note.

I’m so happy that you mentioned this. How is it that this collection of like minded ‘Leaders” came to Power at relatively the same time with the same Outlook and Acceptance of defeat. UN Sec Gen Ban Ki Moon, EU Federica Mogherini, England David Cameron, France Francis Hollande, and Former Stasi Agent &Communist German Chancellor Angela Merkel. I thought perhaps they picked up these ideas at Bilderberg in Consultation with Middle East Actors. Obama in 8 years has managed to side with elements in Egypt who would abrogate the Israel-Egypt Peace Treaty of 40 years and the Muslim Brotherhood would push for War. He threw Saudi Arabia to the gutter and picked up Iran. Iran considers itself at War with the US since 1979. The only rammed something down our throats the Obama wanted to call a Deal for 5 seconds and they violated after 1 second. Yet he still trusts them. He doesn’t want to wreck the Deal. He wants to bring 100s of thousands of ‘refugees’ young single men of military age that the CIA Director and FBI Director says we cannot vet for many reason. We see the results. Islamism, Jihadists promised to export terrorists amongst the migrants. Try 0.01%. This would mean Europe has 10,000 or 1 Military Division. It’s all coming our way as the Government outlawed bullet proof vests with a 10-year penalty and are restricting our guns more and more.

R Cole says
Were the attackers really saying Daesh or were they saying État Islamique!
For years there have been attacks on Catholic and Anglican clergy. Usually they are simply beat up – in the UK say, by people of ‘Asian’ descent.
The difference is now – under the direction of the Islamic State – these ‘hate crimes’ have turned to terrorism. Not simply thuggish attacks – they are now going for the kill.
With the new influx of migrants – we are seeing the defacement of statues Christian saints in places like Italy. There it may turn to direct attacks on the church as well.
::
The State Message
With the Islamic attacks and resulting dead mount – we are constantly being told – that what the terrorists want is to divide us. But no – what the terrorists want is to unite us – only under the Islamic flag.
The understanding that Europe is being attacked because it is not Islamic – has to be made clear!

I *may* have an explanation for that, linnte. It was a Tuesday morning.

The culture of political correctness has invaded our lives in all spheres. Even in offices during celebration-speeches/comments we are told to be politically correct. If we can get rid of this PC half of the problems would be solved.
Ever wondered why Jihadis are SO focused on the West? it is a perfect breeding ground for the slaughter of infidels due to PC. What about the semi free states? The reprisals would be too hot to handle for the Jihadis and the common man / man on the street would be too hateful of Jihadi activities (unlike the West)

This happened where Muslims is only 5% of the population of France. Can’t imagine what will happen to the Christians there when the Muslims become majority.
Now I have to add the people of France to my prayers for persecuted Christians in Pakistan, Indonesia, Malaysia, Iraq, Iran, China, Egypt, Morocco, and Syria.
What have happened to Catholic France where great saints such as Joan of Arc, Bernadette Soubirous, Therese of Lisieux, Louis de Montfort, Jean-Baptiste de La Salle and many more were born? Only Jesus can protect us from the evil of Islam.

I think 5% is for Britain. France is 10% but in both countries percentages of Muslim teenagers and children are much higher.

If love and sacrifice and open hearts were not enough the the blade is all we have. No time for words and consideration, the cup of patience runneth over brothers and sisters. Non-violence in the face of violence can be considered paramount to impotence. AND WE ARE NOT IMPOTENT WE ARE LIONS OF THE ALMIGHTY WHO WILL STAND IN OUR WAY?
we drew the sword everywhere the virus spread beyond its limits big enough to even grant lands and peace treaties which the extremists have spat on, they spit where we can see and the audacity has overwhelmed me. Provocation artists using our media to destroy our minds, BECOME IMMUNE. ALL LIVINGS THINGS ARE CERTAIN OF ONE THING, THAT IS DEATH, HOW YOU DIE IS WHAT IS PARAMOUNT. NO RESPONSE NOW IS AS GOOD AS accepting DEATH ritually.

So they want to know the motive. Its what Muslims have done to infidels when given the chance throughout the last 1,400 years. He was murdered by Muslim savages because he was an infidel priest.

Barack Obama’s administration reminds us that somewhere else in the world, someone will slip in their bathtub and be fatally injured by hitting their head. Now move along; nothing to see here.
Champ says
Can you imagine being a reporter writing in Warsaw on September 1, 1939 that German soldiers were coming across the border in large numbers and killing Polish soldiers, and authorities were searching for their motive — while Polish authorities assured us that their open-borders policy would continue?
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
No way that’s *unimaginable*! And yet here we are living in the Twilight Zone ..in real time!
ISIS/islam is at war with the West, but when on earth will our world leaders wake-up and realize this and name the enemy? And the willful blindness to the islamic threat seems to be getting worse, not better. 10 years ago I naively thought that surely by 2016, or so, things will ‘greatly improve’ in this department, but no–crazytown!
Norwegian says
Motive?
Maybe these muslims was listening to black metal? ?
UNCLE VLADDI says
Just like the Ansbach bomber the other day.
“Ahah!” they cry.
“A muslim attacked people on the 5th anniversary of the Breivik massacre! That proves he was a Breivik worshipper!”
Well, muslims blew up other muslims and infidels across the globe in remote places like Afghanistan on that same day – places where they had probably never heard of Breivik.
And they murdered people the day before, and the day after. And the days and weeks and months and years before that, and after that, too.
In fact, please, O omniscient reporting authorities, find me a single day of any given calendar year, where some muslims somewhere DIDN’T attack and murder other people?
YOU CAN’T, CAN YOU?
But I’m sure if you try hard enough, you will find the occasional day worthy of having held at least one atrocity committed somewhere on earth, in the history of mankind, by a non-muslim. THEN YOU CAN BLAME THE MUSLIM ATTACKS ON IT BECAUSE IT IS AN “ANNIVERSARY” OF SOME KIND, TOO!
TREASONOUS ASSHOLES. We really don’t have to search to figure out YOUR motives, do we?

Killing innocent is a symbol of ignorance [lack of religious knowledge]:
Muslim :: Book 34 : Hadith 6458
Abu Huraira reported Allah’s Messenger (may peace be upon him) as saying: (When) the time would draw close to the Last Hour, knowledge would be snatched away, turmoil would be rampant, miserliness would be put (in the hearts of the people) and therewould be much bloodshed. They said: What is al-harj? Thereupon he said: It is bloodshed.
2:85. After this, it is you who kill one another and drive out a party of you from their homes, assist (their enemies) against them, in sin and transgression. And if they come to you as captives, you ransom them, although their expulsion was forbidden to you. Then do you believe in a part of the Scripture and reject the rest? Then what is the recompense of those who do so among you, except disgrace in the life of this world, and on the Day of Resurrection they shall be consigned to the most grievous torment. And Allah is not unaware of what you do.
5: 28. “If you do stretch your hand against me to kill me, I shall never stretch my hand against you to kill you, for I fear Allah; the Lord of the ‘Alamîn (mankind, jinns, and all that exists).”
Muslim :: Book 16 : Hadith 4158
‘Abdullah b. (Mas’ud) reported Allah’s Messenger (may peace be upon him) as saying: The first (thing) that will be decided among people on the Day of Judgment will pertain to bloodshed.
Prohibit killing non Muslim with peace agreement:
8: 72. Verily, those who believed, and emigrated and strove hard and fought with their property and their lives in the Cause of Allah as well as those who gave (them) asylum and help, – these are (all) allies to one another. And as to those who believed but did not emigrate (to you O Muhammad SAW), you owe no duty of protection to them until they emigrate, but if they seek your help in religion, it is your duty to help them except against a people with whom you have a treaty of mutual alliance, and Allah is the All-Seer of what you do.
9: 4. Except those of the Mushrikûn with whom you have a treaty, and who have not subsequently failed you in aught, nor have supported anyone against you. So fulfill their treaty to them to the end of their term. Surely Allah loves Al- Mattaqûn
“God forbids you not, with regard to those who fight you
not for (your) faith nor drive you out of your homes, from dealing
kindly and justly with them: for God loveth those who are just.”
(H.Q. 60:8)
“God only forbids you, with regard to those who fight you
for (your) faith, and drive you out of your homes, and support
(others) in driving you out, from turning to them (for friendship
and protection). It is such as turn to them (in these circumst
ances), that do wrong.” (H.Q. 60:9)
CAN MUSLIM KILL AGED PEOPLE?
Malik :: Book 21 : Hadith 21.3.10
Do not kill women or children or ”””””””an aged””””””””””’, weak person,Do not cut down fruit-bearing trees.Do not destroy an inhabited place. Do not slaughter sheep or camels except for food. Do not burn bees and do not scatter them. Do not steal from the booty,

Take it up with you murderous coreligionists, sham, who *regularly* murder vulnerable elderly people. Stop trying to snow the good Infidels here are Jihad Watch.
Lioness says
Media:
1. Motive is unknown. If not believable, go to 2.
2. Right wing extremist. If not believable, go to 3.
3. Had mental illness. If not believable, go to 4.
4. Had nothing to do with islam. That ends the story.
Hugues Yves says
Some people like to think that it is something new. Atheists are used to persecute religions as well. Ask Tibetans or Orthodox Christians in Russia how well they were / are treated.
In fact , priests have been slaughtered in France recently -in the beginning of the 21th century- by atheist thugs namely Gothic fans , and churches were burned in Norway and France by Black Metal fans.
Kay says
Jesus said to him, “Away from me, Satan! For it is written: ‘Worship the Lord your God, and serve him only.’”
Kelly says
The Pope has declared that killing in the name of God is satanic and that Father Hamel is a martyr, which automatically means he is a saint.
You can read about it at Breitbart (and probably elsewhere).
Of course the Christian meaning of martyr is different from the Muslim meaning.
