An elderly priest has been killed in a hostage situation in a church south of Rouen, Normandy, northern France this morning by alleged Islamist attackers. His killers, who are understood to have been shot dead by French police.
UPDATE 1320 — Islamic State claims responsibility, French President François Hollande confirms terrorist attack Media sources associated with the Islamic State have claimed the Rouen terror attack as their own, remarking that two of their own “soldiers” were responsible. Shortly beforehand the French President François Hollande told press that it was an act of terrorism and that both attackers had proclaimed their allegiance to the Islamic State. He called it a “disgusting attack”..

At the very least.
I have strong reservations about the survival instincts of western civilization.
This has been one insane month for wild headlines. Terrorist attacks, cop killings, all sorts of scandals and controversies on top of two high publicity political conventions. It’s hard to believe. In the past week or so alone, there were four terrorist attacks in Germany (the axe attack, the shooting, the machete attack, and the suicide bomber). This is getting to crazy levels. I’m not surprised they are starting to specifically target Christians in the West (like they do at home in the Middle East too).
Exactly.
Exactly.
That is why I call them Youra-peon.
It would seem so.

There are multiple reports and references on FR and elsewhere that the nukes were removed from Turkey many, many years ago. Nothing currently suggests there are any there. Seems like the base is mostly used for our limited operations against Islamic terrorists. Heck, only 1,100 service members? Not much of a base at this point. Overall, doesn’t sound like we have much in Turkey elsewhere either. Probably as it became more of an Islamic state, after blocking us from the Kurds, that the Turks prefer to kill, I figure we found alternative locations. Turkey is less an ally today than ever before. Maybe out of NATO soon if anyone has the balls to act?
These attacks demonstrate the bankruptcy of the democratic party agenda.
They are either blind or foresee a usefulness to their agenda. Or both. Either should cause us to reject them with more vehemence than we have up to this point...if that’s possible.
There are also multiple reports here on FR stating that they are still there. I hope that you are right and that the OTHER multiple reports are wrong.
Holland says safety come from cohesion. Yeah.
It’s not necessary. All we have to do is admit that Islam is an implacable, murderous foe that requires sedition from its adherents. Thus any muslim that will not repudiate Shariah is committing sedition and will be deported or imprisoned.
Want to reduce terrorism in your country by greater that 95%? Get the muslims out.
The difficulty is that to admit the above also admits that the modern, multi-culti culture of the West is a house of cards, and that some cultures are in fact superior to others. I think liberals will die rather than admit that. Their entire leftist, relativist, atheist, virtue signalling, SJW replacement-for-God worldview has it’s stool kicked out from under it.
This is what happens when you reject God, as the West is experiencing. We have lost the ability to tell the truth.
Trump can’t become POTUS fast enough
Another blood sacrifice to B’al. The zombie apocalypse has begun!
Will the French release the priest’s body for burial or just incinerate it?
The French government refused to release the bodies of torture victims from the massacre at the Paris nightclub.
“Are they going to have another memorial service and leave flowers at the site of the atrocity?”
Yes. Isn’t that enough?
Any Church service I attend has at least one armed man in the congregation ...
Facebook is censored by Zuckerberg but people can go back to their email lists to reach people by going “underground”.
Cohesion means do not resist just accept the terms of the jihadists and they may let you live. Come on, be reasonable, just convert to Islam and all of the terrorism will be over. Don’t be an Islamophobe.
