BEHEADED AT THE ALTAR: ISIS butchers ‘filmed themselves forcing Catholic priest, 84, to kneel before cutting his throat after performing sermon in Arabic’







BEHEADED AT THE ALTAR ISIS butchers ‘filmed themselves forcing Catholic priest, 84, to kneel before cutting his throat after performing sermon in Arabic’



Once again, France has been terrorized. The BBC reports:
An 84-year-old priest was killed and four other people taken hostage by two armed men who stormed his church in a suburb of Rouen in northern France. The two attackers, who said they were from the so-called Islamic State (IS), slit Fr Jacques Hamel’s throat during a morning Mass, officials say. One of the hostages is in a critical condition in hospital. President Francois Hollande, visiting the scene, said the attackers had committed a “cowardly assassination” and France would fight IS “by all means”.
Expressions of horror are all well and good, as are blanket vows to destroy one’s enemies. And yet Hollande’s words are beginning to sound a touch . . . hollow.

...if Western governments do not start acknowledging that their immigration policies have serious downsides — and, for that matter, that it is not “racist” or “xenophobic” to say so – they are going to face a series of full-scale revolts, the likely beneficiaries of which will be political parties that do not take the “nuanced” view that the hushers and the name-callers believe themselves to be protecting.





A civilization that believes in nothing will ultimately submit to anything.
