The ISIS terrorists who carried out the France church attack forced a parish priest to kneel before filming themselves slitting his throat, it has emerged.
Father Jacques Hamel, 86, was made to get to his knees before he was brutally butchered at the church in Normandy today, says a nun who escaped the attack.
His two murderers captured the slaying on a mobile phone, according to Sister Danielle, who was one of several worshippers taken hostage during morning mass.
They then performed a 'sermon' around the altar in Arabic - as armed cops rushed to the scene and terrified members of the congregation fled for their lives.
Before his death, Father Hamel courageously tried to defend his parishioners, says the distraught nun, who raised the alarm after fleeing the church.
"They forced him to kneel and he tried to defend himself and that is how the drama started," she told RMC radio this afternoon.

Preying on the elderly is despicable enough. Going after a priest speaks for itself...and don’t think that Normandy was a coincidence.

I am sorry. This occurs because Mohammedans are allowed to roam in a free country. It is getting worse every day. More dying. Governments doing nothing.

I thought the Normans were a tougher breed of Frenchmen.

I’m sure the authorities are still trying to understand the motivation for the attack.

Did the French “authorities” follow this terrorist
like the others?
Knew about this advance, like the others?
Where is the shame in the ruling classes? [/s]

This terror attack, and a possible attempt on the Pope's life investigated in Poland. (see posts
#93 and
#95). Is this start of a trend?

I vow this moment to never forget this disgusting brutality. Muslims have just earned sub-human status in my world.

These are subhuman savages. They are lower than the bacteria that eat dead dung beetles that ate the feces of cancer-infected carrion-eating hyenas. They are savages, driven by an ideology of death and destruction.

When I read Le Figaro a few hours ago it was repoorted that one of the perps was “known” to the authorities.

Personally, I would require every f’ing Imam in every Western country to publicly denounce ISIS, denounce terrorism, denounce violent Jihad, state that the medieval aspects of Sharia are no longer valid, and state that the laws of the land in which they live supersede Sharia. If they won't, they should be escorted to the nearest departure point, whether it be an airport, train station, or other. I don't want to hear anymore about ‘the religion of peace’. If a group was doing this in the name of Christianity, or Judaism, there would be an incessant outcry.
