('A war of religions': Fury in France over how known jihadists on terror watchlist were allowed to murder priest as Sarkozy calls for 'a merciless response)
Fury has erupted in France as the nation's current and former leaders call for a 'merciless' response to an attack that left an 84-year-old priest dead and a nun critically injured.
Two knifemen burst into a Normandy church this morning before filming themselves butchering elderly priest, Jacques Hamel, and performing a 'sermon in Arabic' at the altar, according to a witness.
French president Francois Hollande said the country is now 'at war' with ISIS after the terror group claimed responsibility for the attack at Saint-Etienne-du-Rouvray near Rouen.
Meanwhile 'horrified' ex-Prime Minister Jean-Pierre Raffarin said he feared 'everything is being done to trigger a war of religions'.
Former French President Nicolas Sarkozy called for a 'merciless' response to the killing.
It comes after it was revealed that one of the killers, 19-year-old Adel K., was being monitored by electronic tag after twice attempting to join fanatics in Syria.
His bail terms, however, allowed him to be unsupervised between 8.30am and 12.30pm. The attack happened between 9am and 11am.

Watch list does not mean “watch it happen”.
It should graduate to catch, snatch, watch them sail or fly away forever.
The president said he would use everything LEGAL to go after terrorists.
In other words, nothing, really.
Used to box. If a guy is taking rabbit punches at you, throwing kidney punches, sucker punches you at the end of the round, rubs his glove in a cut, you better dam ####ing be ready to do the same are you are DONE!
War of religions?
Between a 7th century death cult, and a post-modern existentialist materialism
Christianity is not a religion, and Islam is a war plan.
showing the boys how to have balls...
France is at war with Islam, it just doesn’t understand that. And Islam is trying to destroy France and still the French government will not accept that.
So calls for a “merciless” response are meaningless. Merciless against who? Are you going to bomb the Islamic No Go Zones, round up the followers of Islam for immediate deportation and if they resist kill them on the spot?
No, I didn’t think so. So your words are meaningless and your country will be taken over by Islam. Until the government gets a clue - or is thrown out for a Le Pen government - then France is just talking bullshit to calm a nervous population of sheep.
And until she is in charge in France - completely - Islam will continue to destroy the country at will.
Watch List entries mean “problem solved” to the PC popos and gov’t lackies. Hey, we put him on the list. No more responsibility on our part....
Nice speech. None of the mealy mouth mush that most politicians (on both sides of the ocean) spew out after these attacks. We need more like her.
Islam is at war against the world, and it has constantly been at war since the mid seventh century. Those that pretend otherwise are putting their nations in danger.
France needs her today every bit as much - no even more - than it needed Joan of Arc.
And the DiC and his beard insist we are safer now than ever
Huh????
"And he will be a wild man; his hand will be against every man, and every man's hand against him; and he shall dwell in the presence of all his brethren."
— Genesis 6:13
Her father is the original Le Pen you heard of. Marie has followed in dad’s footsteps
Regardless of any surrounding religion(s), Christianity is a faith.
They need to reconstitute the SAC.
