Police have no clue who they are looking for, but people who murder Christians, striking their necks, generally come from a singular background.

Lyon: Wheelchair-bound Iraqi Christian Murdered
translated from “Lyon : un chrétien Irakien en fauteuil roulant assassiné en plein live,” Aleteia, September 11, 2025:
Ashur Sarnaya, a 45-year-old wheelchair-bound Iraqi belonging to the Assyrian-Chaldean community of Lyon, was murdered on the evening of September 10th while broadcasting a live video on social media. Deeply committed to his Christian faith, this “very kind” and “deeply religious” man was stabbed in front of his home in the 9th arrondissement.
A “very kind” and “deeply religious” man: this is all we know for now about Ashur, a 45-year-old Iraqi man murdered on the evening of Wednesday, September 10th in the 9th arrondissement of Lyon. This wheelchair-bound man, a member of the Assyrian-Chaldean community and a regular at the Saint-Ephrem parish in Lyon, was stabbed in the neck while broadcasting live on social media. “He often made videos about faith; he liked to talk about the Christian religion,” Georges Shamoun Ishaq, president of the Assyrian-Chaldean Association of Lyon, told Aleteia. “He was a very kind, discreet person who had no problems with anyone, but we don’t know much more,” he confided.
In a video clip, viewed by AFP and still online Thursday morning, Ashur Sarnaya appears with a bloodied face. A man allegedly waited for him at the bottom of his building before stabbing him “in the carotid artery” with his weapon and fleeing, according to Le Progrès. A witness filmed a young man leaving the scene from behind, wearing dark clothing and a hood over his head, who was identified as a possible perpetrator. Contacted by neighbors, emergency services found the man in cardio-respiratory arrest and were unable to revive him. Ashur had lived in an apartment building in the 9th arrondissement of Lyon with his sister for about ten years. The latter spoke to RMC and BFM TV. She says she was alerted by friends who were watching her brother’s TikTok live while she was out shopping. “When I got home, I saw that all my friends had called me several times. They told me to go see what was going on. When I arrived, he was dead. He was on the ground, there were lots of people, the police, the firefighters…”, she recounts.
Reaction from the Œuvre d’OrientIn his videos, Ashur spoke in particular about the Christian religion and discussed his disagreements with Islam. One of them, published in March, reported intimidation and threats related to this content. Several comments left on TikTok criticized his content, some in an intimidating manner. An investigation for intentional homicide has been opened by the Lyon prosecutor’s office, which is not favoring any theory at this stage: “nothing points us towards a solid line of inquiry, whether criminal, political, religious, or drug-related,” said a police source.The Œuvre d’Orient responded by condemning “in the strongest terms the murder of an Iraqi Christian in a vulnerable situation.” “It is essential that Christians in the Middle East can bear witness to their faith in complete safety and live with dignity. It assures the family and the Iraqi community in France of its deepest sympathy.”
Germany: Muslim screaming ‘Allahu akbar’ attacks police, police keep incident secret from the public
“Allahu akbar” does not mean “God is great,” but “Allah is greater,” that is, greater than your God.
Police kept the incident secret as part of a larger program to prevent Germans from fully realizing what their governing authorities have done to the country.
He shouted ‘Allahu akbar’: Unknown man arrested in Völklingen
translated from “Er rief „Allahu akbar“: Unbekannter Mann in Völklingen festgenommen,” Breaking News Saarland, September 10, 2025 (thanks to Medforth):
Völklingen: Disturbing scenes are going viral: A man lies on the ground, restrained by two police officers. Three other officers, wearing protective vests like their colleagues, are securing the area. Emergency service personnel who arrived in an ambulance are standing nearby. The man lying on the ground, his shoes lying next to him, is continuously shouting “Allahu akbar” in Arabic, which translates as “God is great.” This phrase is often used by assassins and terrorists.
An eyewitness recorded the incident on his cell phone and then sent the video. The incident took place yesterday, Tuesday afternoon, around 2 p.m. in downtown Völklingen. The scene is on Hofstattstraße, directly in front of the “Ensar Market.” Although the video footage spread like wildfire on social media, the police kept the incident secret from the public, allowing the rumors to quickly escalate.
Supposed witnesses reported online that the man was walking around with a knife. Others even claimed to know that there had been a knife attack. Even a day after the incident, the authorities have not yet informed the public about the high-profile operation. Only when contacted did a spokesperson for the Völklingen Criminal Investigation Department report: “We were called to a house where a strange man was sleeping in the hallway. When the officers approached him and tried to take him to the waiting ambulance, the situation escalated. He attempted to injure the police officers with kicks and headbutts. He did not have a weapon.”
The police officers were unharmed during the operation. The cries of “Allahu akbar” are recorded in the incident report. The identity of the unknown man has not yet been determined. The investigation is ongoing. Officials currently estimate him to be in his mid-20s. The man, who is in a state of mental distress, is being housed in the SHG clinic, where he can now receive professional help.
All radicalized Muslims are in a state of mental distress.
