A Muslim suicide bomber pretending to be a Christian at a major Catholic Church surprised everybody when he stood up, ran at and slashed the priest with an axe, and tried to blow himself up. But in nothing short of a miracle, the bomb just fizzled out and the congregation held him there until police came:
Priest Albert Pandiangan, 60, was holding the holy ceremony at the altar when the 18-year-old fanatic rushed towards him with a backpack bomb and tried to blow himself up.
But the bomb burned without setting off the explosives, so the jihadi pulled an axe from his bag and slashed the priest’s arm at St Yoseph Church in Medan, the capital of North Sumatra in Indonesia.
The congregation then stepped in and managed to wrestle the axe from his grasp, detaining him until the police arrived.
As officers marched the suspect to the car, pictures show his white trousers soaked in blood. Police found his ID card and a hand-drawn picture of the ISIS flag.
The young fanatic also told police that he was not working alone.
He was later pictured at the police station with an officer holding his bloody head off the ground, where he was lying handcuffed. (source)
It was a miracle that the bomb did not go off, as hundreds of people would have died. However, this attack is also a warning to Christians in the West.

Muslim Pretends He Is At Mass, Then He Pulls Out An Axe And Attacks The Priest, Tries To Blow Himself Up But FAILS As Bomb Miraculously Burns Out
Is the location known?
Is the Pope planning on telling churches across the world to beef up security? Attendance is down enough, for God’s sake.
Maybe it’s time to start carrying in church.
Where?
St Yoseph Church in Medan, the capital of North Sumatra in Indonesia
News A Catholic priest has been stabbed while holding a Sunday service by an ISIS-inspired knifeman who then tried to set off an explosive device but failed. Priest Albert Pandiangan was giving the mass in the city of Medan in Indonesia, located on the western island of Sumatra.

IDK for certain, I believe it was Mauritania?
Is this ANOTHER one, or a rehash of the one that happened a while back? I thought that one involved a knife.
Article says Sumatra Indonesia.
The young fanatic also told police that he was not working alone.
Police are trying to determine his identity and affiliation, but believe he is working alone.
As long as the congregation had him under control they should have saved his soul via baptism. Ten minutes under should do the trick.
That’s why I’m suspicious of “refugees” claiming to be Christian.
Will we recognize the motive if it happens at the St. Patrick’s cathedral in NYC? IT will happen here also — guaranteed.
I believe it was somewhere in Indonesia.
Lots of Christians pack at church.
I always feel a story should start out with the details of the location and date.
When they do not I search about a bit for them and if I don’t find them do not continue to read.
We have a whole bunch of Iraqi refugees complete with their own priest at our Houston parish.

For what it’s worth lad, I don’t ever see any moslems there, especially on March 17th ~ get two million Irish together, and see if the Hakim/Abdullah/BinLaden turds can blend with that crowd ~ HA!
They’ll soon be dancing a merry jig at the end of a rope!
Old Time Irish...
