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, believed to be a nun, 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 France is ‘at war’ with ISIS while the terror group has claimed responsibility for the killing.
There were reports the attackers shouted ‘Allahu Akbar’ as they ran out of the church while at least one of the men was dressed in Islamic clothing.
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.
Part of the crew, part of the ship.
More dead lemmings. Gee, have police figured out their motivation? I only ask that because when someone named Mohamed killed 84 people on Bastile Day they could not figure it out.
If you refuse to kill your enemies you won’t win the war.
Hollande and the majority of the French population don’t know the meaning of war. Until they understand that multiculturalism is a dream and start rounding up and deporting the adherents of Islam they will continue to allow the general population to be sacrificed on the alter of multiculturalism. Muslims have no desire to integrate into the West and if we don’t recognize this then we are going to be assimilated.
More lone wolves.
You can find the motivation written in the quran, it is also taught in mosques.
“Holland said France is at war with ICIS…..”
And?
This time the teddy bear pile will be so big, them ISIS guys will stop for sure..
Talk is cheap.
Remember we have multiculturalism right here in Canada. As long as we allow dual citizenship and stream those with whom we have not lived with historically, have no intention of integrating and are allowed to have their own “communities” we stand for nothing, no one to stand on guard for me and thee. We are heading for nightmare times, our Charter and Multicultural policies will take us down.
France paying the price for allowing these so called refugees into their country but realy its the french citizens themselves being murdered a bunch of bloodthirsty heathens
“Holland said France is at war with ICIS…..”
Last time they were at war they surrencered,
.
What’s that old saying … “If you let hordes of filthy muslim whack jobs into your country, you can expect lots of death and mayhem.”
.
“Francois Hollande said France is ‘at war’ with ISIS…”
They may want to be at war with islam, isis, al queada, hamas, muslim brotherhood…its ALL the SAME thing!!!
When you read about the circumstances of one of the perps it’s really hard not to say “Pass the Popcorn”
It’s difficult to name anywhere they live in the world where they live in peace. Calling Islam a religion of peace is proven to be the exact opposite on a daily basis. Killing and brutality like the civilized world of this 21st century cannot even bear to watch, unspeakable inhumanity to man in the name of the god of Islam. We need to see more Islam followers coming forward, working at ferreting out the scum in their “communities”.
We in the West are observers and reactionaries to all the carnage, we pray for the families of their victims and sit back waiting for the next victims to mourn then condemn but do zilch. They know it as they stream into our countries taking advantage of all our civilized societies have to offer. Apparently among what we have to offer are the right freedoms for the extremists to prepare for their next slaughter of innocent human beings just living their daily lives.
Am I politically incorrect in writing this? Is any of it not true? Does being politically correct help keep us free and safe as we go about living our lives in the safety of a law abiding democracy?
Lastly, Canada elected the worst government for the times we are living in, we all need to be concerned. We really don’t know who is in charge, we are not in good hands. There are too many uninformed voters who can’t see past their own front doors and what’s in it for them, a big part of our problem. Another attack and another pack of politicians pop out out like gophers out their holes, condemn and sympathize…..then back into their holes. God help us all.
To paraphrase ural’s comment from yesterday: all this, because the French didn’t build enough basketball courts.
I wonder what caused it ….
The result of the last major war that France was involved in resulted in the Petain government assisting the Germans in deporting and transporting thousands of French citizens to the “East”. If the Free French continue to do nothing in the face of these terrorist attacks then the war, as many have stated here, is already lost. As it stands right now it is extremely difficult, in fact downright impossible, to ‘man the barricades’ when there are no barricades. As far as our present government is concerned, our supposed Liberal leaders have already succumbed to the Islamic influence. In trying to atone for their handling of the SS St. Louis they are bringing in tens of thousands of so-called refugees. ISIS has already infiltrated hundreds of Islamic terrorists in these refugee groups into Europe and although we see the results on an almost daily basis we continue to toe the line that Trudeau and the Liberals dictate. The Liberals had no compunction in placing thousands of Japanese Canadians in interment camps in the last war and yet they declare on an almost daily basis that we have to be careful not to upset our new Muslim refugees. If we continue down this road that the Liberals and their supporters have mapped out for us and similarly with the Democrats in America then we have surely sacrificed the greatest civilization that has evolved in mankind’s history.
Just heard the news. I immediately played ‘Imagine’. REALLY LOUD. Take that people with unknown motives!
A “French citizen” proudly holding the severed head of a priest, it’s just another egalitarian jewel in the cornucopia of multiculturalism. It’s not bad or evil, just different!
As I have stated before and needs to be repeated and shouted from the rooftops at every opportunity:
Democracy can only be achieved in a Christian society. Full stop.
It is based on the truth that all men and women are created with equal value, but are not equal. We are given different giftings, abilities, talents, tastes, etc. which must be explored and honed and brought into their fullness in order to reach their optimum potential.
This barbarity in France today exposes that Islam does not teach anything about equality before God and man, but superiority of one over another, the lesser being shown it’s rightful place of submission and/or elimination.
Equality under our governmental systems of political correctness are unable to change the heart of a man therefore they create unattainable and damaging laws to try and herd their citizens into this forced, but insidious, belief that we are all equal. We have safe spaces to demonstrate our equality but they actually reveal the prejudices and intolerance latent in the heart of an unredeemed soul.
France cannot fight this, nor any other country on earth, without first changing their myopic view of equality.
In Vancouver (and likely Ottawa) the 102nd ‘anniversary’ of the Komagata Maru was observed. Because we just can’t let a century old ‘injustice’ go to waste. Nope. We have to keep ripping off the Band-Aid of mea culpa in order to keep the wound open.
Incidents of the time are used as prima facie evidence of why we must never, ever make the mistake of actually evaluating the social, political, cultural or dare I say it- religious values of another culture wanting to make Canada home.
‘Progressives… never let an ancient slight go to waste!
A few days after the Nice truck attack, I was in our apartment’s gym. The TV happened to be on at the time and I saw a news item about the outpouring of sympathy in reaction to what happened. That included the usual–and, it seems, expected–heaps of flowers and I mentioned to another chap who was watching it that none of it will do any good.
His response was that it made someone feel better.
There you have it. One’s feelings are all that matter. Once those have been soothed, there’s no need to take any other action until the next incident. Wash, rinse, repeat.
People are used to priests and nuns being murdered elsewhere.
Those days are over.
Given the French (read: European) mentality of giving up, one can expect to see churches shut down even faster, not that it will stop the attacks.
If the French have any fight in them, they should arm themselves as they go to Mass (IF they go to Mass). It is, after all, the land of Charles Martel.
Nothing says “Peace be with you, motherf—er” than a weapon.
To say France “is the land of Charles Martel” is true only in the geographic sense. It IS the land Charles Martel ruled over 1300 years ago, but any of that fighting spirit has long been bred out of the people.
Europeans are like domestic cattle, patiently awaiting the day they’re led to the slaughter.It appears they won’t have long to wait.
We aren’t much better in North America,though maybe the Mexicans still have some fighting spirit left. The very idea of our Canadian citified metrosexuals actually physically fighting back against anything done by aggressive Muslims is laughable.
Eight years of a Hillary Clinton Presidency may very well see America become as docile and disarmed as Europe.
I believe the violence in Europe will reach a crescendo in Oktober.
Thank God the French have Francois Hollande. He’s really shaking things up over there.

CBC’s pro Muslim, sanitized story. Do a simply word court; Muslim is only used once, but only when referring to interviewing a cleric, the word Islamic is not used as all and the word Daesh is used once when in a quote, which CBC explains to be just another word for ISIS and does not explain the significance of it. The “attackers” are never referred to anything else but as attackers that pledged allegiance to ISIS. Oh, and they did a little “ceremony” in Arabic while they removed the priests head, but still no mention of any religion. I’m guessing Mormon or maybe Baptist.
Clearly the CBC and the Liberals are in bed with Islam and till people Wake Up the propaganda will continue.
I am trading all of my Ruger stock, and buying Steif Teddy Bear Stock… I’m gonna make a killing … oops, sorry … too soon ?
I have said all I can say about muslims. there is no such animal as a moderate muslim. they all follow the koran. the koran tells them they are to kill unbelievers. now anyone who wishes to take me to task on this is more than welcome to. I would suggest that you read the koran before doing so. follow that up with the hadiths and suna and then we will talk. not one second before.
Think of the celebrations and back slapping going on in “newsrooms” across the western sphere right now… the champagne corks must be flying… This has been a great Month for the Jihadists and their ally’s in the western media… This is the perfect time for Oshitstain to give one of his hectoring lectures on the supremacy of the Muslim “faith” and how peaceful it is, perhaps our fearless leader Trudeautard could light one of his farts on fire or go to a gay parade or do whatever it is that idiot does.
We have many Muslim in Canada that reject political Islam, jihad, Islamic Supremacism and Sharia law.
That is why they are here and they live in fear of those who would impose Sharia on them here.
Yes, to reject those aspects of the Koran, the Sira and Hadith makes them apostates in the eyes of the Islamists and a target.
One I know escaped the jails and death at the hands of the Shia Caliphate of the Islamic Republic of Iran.
Recently, I was told of a large workplace that has a number of immigrant workers, many of whom are Muslim.
The Islamists harass and intimidate the other Muslims to follow orthodoxy and be more Sharia compliant.
Even though they’ve been told that if they register complaints, that repeated documented instances of this would lead to the Islamists being fired, and told that criminal harassment can be reported to the police.
They prefer to quit and try to find work in a safer place.
If that is now happens in a small city here in the prairie heartland. It must be happening across Canada.
The secular/modern Muslims expect Canada to protect them from the dangers they’ve fled. Now only to find that same danger here and growing in numbers and influence.
Most keep a low profile, but three Muslims who are publicly active objecting to the growing dangers of political Islam in Canada are: Tarek Fatah, Prof. Salim Mansur and Raheel Raza. See their youtube videos and interviews and articles.
Until ordinary citizens pressure all levels of government to formally reject Sharia law and political Islam. Our governments will try to hide and pretend the tip of the iceberg breaking through the surface is all we have to worry about.
Now that Christian churches has been formally added to the jihadi targets. The congregants need to chose “Christian soldiers” for leaders.
Ones with the courage to publicly challenge and discredit political Islam. Actually easily done. They, with such leadership, are the only ones who have a chance of surviving.
Pope Francis claims to follow St Francis of Assisi, but St. Francis ministered to the Crusaders in the Holy Land, and even challenged Saladin to debate and negotiated guardianship of some churches there.
Christendom survived in Europe because Charles “The Hammer” Martel persuaded churches to finance his infantry. Thus allowing him to recruit and train them to professional standards. And to the tactics/strategy that allowed him to defeat a much larger force of Moorish cavalry who had swept through southern Europe.
Modern France’s values of Equalite´, Fraternite´and Liberte´are secularized version of Christian values.
France needs a statesman to lead her in this battle. At this point that statesman is looking like Marine Le Pen, who will need to be a blend of Charles “The Hammer” Martel and Joan d’Arc to repel the invaders and defeat their ideology.
France is the battleground the Islamists have chosen. Only when France declares war on political Islam, rejects Sharia law and start deporting Islamists in large numbers will she turn the tide of battle.
The gates of the city have long been left open. The Trojan horse is emptying out.
Responding requires a citizen militia of the French to defend France.
bullsh1t.. you blare away like an idiot… now travel back in time and tell those witches that were burned to death by “christians” how democratic Christians are. It’s bullsh1ters like you that are a problem to a conservative political movement
Normandy needs a knifemen registry.
That is why the state is separated from the church. Can you imagine the chaos if this was not the case?
Every incident like this adds more votes for Trump
Your anger is showing again, can you tuck that back in where it came from please?
When you can bring something to the conversation which is relevant and coherent, I would love to respond. Until then, your remarks are tiresome.
I’m afraid it will be ongoing for the rest of the year. It certainly will get uglier in October, though.
That is, if the Germans dare to have any celebrations at all.
Glacierman, this is NME 666 you’re talking to. The hamster is drunk at the wheel.
Wait, slow down, so am I am supposed to put a French flag back on my twitter/facebook/youtube avatar? So it is no longer German, or is it Belgian? Swedish? Or should I wait until tomorrow?
Imagine two Christians walked into a mosque and beheaded an imam…
What would msm do?
Would NME spontaneously orgasm?
Larry, there is no such thing as a secular muslim. Come on now use some logic. If they are attending mosque they are following the koran. If they are not attending mosque and not praying, and not reading the koran, they are indeed apostates and are no longer muslims. The penalty for being an apostate is death. Taqiyya is an important part of islam.
