Assailants Threaten Parish of Our Lady of Lebanon Church in Sydney
إقرأ هذا الخبر بالعربية
Four assailants in a vehicle bearing the flag of the Islamic State of Iraq and the Levant (ISIL) drove past the Maronite Our Lady of Lebanon Church in Sydney, shouting death threats to church-goers, media reports said on Thursday.
“Four youth in an unknown car and waving the flag of ISIL drove by the church threatening church-goers with murder and with slaughtering their children,” the parish custodian, Monseigneur Shora Maree, revealed.
The assailants caused panic among people as the Australian police is investigating the incident to identify the four youth.
“This is now in the hands of police who are fully investigating. Please do not respond to or circulate any other version of the truth on social media as it creates unnecessary panic,” Maree said in a statement.
On Thursday, Australia's largest ever counter-terrorism raids detained 15 people and foiled a plot by Islamic State jihadists to conduct "demonstration killings", reportedly including beheading a member of the public on camera.
The Australian government believes up to 60 Australians are fighting alongside jihadists for Islamic State, while another 100 were actively working to support the movement at home.
The latest raids followed the arrests of two people last week in Brisbane who were charged with allegedly recruiting, funding and sending jihadist fighters to Syria.

Funny many Lebanese Christians are sympathetic to ISIS and a Future MP recently said the spray paint on the Church in Tripoli was also childish. See... you right.wing idiots and Islamists are more similar than you think. May ISIS and all Islamists and their supporters burn.

Not one mention of the word love? Funny when you make up things. Here's a fun fact -- the Quran mentions the name "Jesus" more than 2 or 3 times the name "Mohammad". More ironically you right.wing Christians are actually allies and sympathizers of ISIS and the terrorists so get your priorities in order.

As for the historical references below... Christianity has been the most violent religion in history but right.wing tools can't read. Crusades anyone? converter By force? So I am assuming the Christians never that before? What a complete baboon you are, go concentrate on your ISIS friends first they are coming for you.

To be fair, how are the Crusades worse than the Islamic conquests?

I think Sisi is doing a pretty good job fighting their ilk in Egypt! He has killed more protesters than Assad, and the world doesn't care.

Why would you waste your time with a right wing tool? These parasites are sympathetic to ISIS and Nusra while those terrorists kill and rape Christians and Shiites and Yazidis in Iraq and Syria. They deserve their pathetic fate and hence their irrelevance in Lebanese politics.

So how will this be explained by M14 fanatics? They were really Assad's men? They did it because Sunnis are oppressed in Australia?
