Six people have died and 28 have been injured after gunmen opened fire on a funeral at a church in Jordan.

It took place at a Greek Orthodox church in Karak governorate, about 110 miles south of the capital Amman.

A witness told TV channel Al Mamlaka that two men - one carrying a rifle and another a ‌pistol - opened fire for several minutes.

The station said the men had got out of a vehicle before attacking the funeral at Hamoud church.

Local reports initially said seven people had been killed, but Jordan's public security directorate later said there were six fatalities.

Sounds like the “Religion of Peace” just sending their condolences.

Have the Jews been blamed yet?

Well so much for Islam being the religion of peace. We all know who did this. Jordan like Lebanon, once had a high Christian population, but no more.

That article is a bit “windy”, but it has a LOT of good history and background in it!

Well worth the read.

Will the Pope respond by washing Muslim feet?

For whatever its worth wonder if Pope Leo is aware of this abomination, if he is abhorred by it and if it causes him to wonder if his bizarre ecumenical embrace of Islam is just plain crazy.

Muslims are itching for a fight we will eventually have to give them.

Has Candice Owens or Tucker blamed the Jews yet?
Has GWB told us that Muz are just misunderstood yet?

I agree with you.

After hearing about this tragedy, my first instinct was also to figure out how jews were actually the real victims here.

You are a vile and disgusting example of a human being.

Islam is a terrorist organization. Unless the West acknowledges this reality, the West will ultimately be ruled by Muslims. Britain, France and Europe in general are the canary in the mine when it comes to Islam’s continued influence and dominance over Western nations.
