TAIZE, France — Brother Roger, the 90-year-old founder of an ecumenical religious community dedicated to peace and reconciliation, was knifed to death by a woman at an evening prayer service attended by 2,500 people, authorities said.
The slaying was deplored Wednesday by the pope and the head of the Anglican Church, who called the slain monk "one of the best-loved Christian leaders of our time."

OK, so they don't mention who she even is? Was she a member of the religion of peace? Bets?
much more dnagerous for jews
From the article: "A Romanian woman wielding a knife killed silver-haired Brother Roger (search), witnesses said. A community spokesman, Brother Emile, said the monk's throat was cut and he died 15 minutes later." I don't know how many ROPers there are in Romania but it is possible she is one.
Was she a member of the religion of peace? Bets?
Amen. The only suprise would be if she wasn't.

Anything that vindicates the WOT or W from the MSM we have to read between the lines; anything anti-W they shove it in our face.
I had never heard of Brother Roger before today, but have been intrigued to do a web search and will now learn more. Perhaps his death will cause millions of people to discover him and what his community was about - sad that this is what it took, but perhaps true. I recall someone once pointing out that it was by virtue of Christ's being 'hung high' on a cross for a terrible death that His word was sent out into the world. Just a thought.
PS - The Muslims could only wish for positive publicity like thisfor their so-called faith...
France hasn't been safe for Christians since 1798.
About 1% muslim. Most are Eastern Orthodox. Possibly just a derranged person, but it really says something about islam that it's the first conclusion a logical person would draw.

How awful. And you're right about the person's identity. We should hopefully find out soon.
Personally, folks, I was betting she was a secularist. But who knows?
That is odd.
"People at the service grabbed the woman, who had sprung from the crowd, and turned her over to police."
Since she had a knife, was a murdered and should have been considered dangerous why was she turned over to police alive?
But even one percent works out to somewhere around 200,000 followers of the 'prophet'. I'm betting she is a Muslim partly because of the cause of death ... a slit throat ... a favorite method of Islamofacists anxious to demonstrate their devotion to Allah.
Then they came for the politically incorrect and I did not speak out because I was not politically incorrect.
Then they came for the Christians and I did not speak out because I was not a Christian.
Then they came for me and there was no one left to speak out for me.
Rumania really doesn't have a big Muslim community like former Yugo, Albania or Bulgaria (with it's Turkish minority plus a Islamicized Slavic group called Pomaks)---the only thing Romania has is plenty of Gypsies---who I doubt would have anything against Brother Roger.
Brother Roger very interesting man---came from a French calvinist background--but services are more like high church anglican.
