Islamic Insanity > Muslim teen stabs Bishop and others in Sydney church, riot ensues - 3 stories

 

The Sydney Morning Herald, Mail Online Australia, and even X, do their very best to hide the Islamic aspect of this insane attack. 

Perhaps the most significant part of this story is the violent reaction of people outside the church. They seem to be saying that 'enough is enough', Islamic insanity is not going to be tolerated anymore. This must be frightening to the police and governments.

Police quell crowds after bishop and worshippers stabbed at Sydney church

A teenager has been arrested after a church leader and several worshippers were stabbed during a service in Sydney’s west last night, triggering a near-riot which required hundreds of police to bring under control. Footage captured on a livestream shows Bishop Mar Mari Emmanuel – a leader of an ultra-conservative sect of the Assyrian Orthodox faith known for anti-LGBTQ sermons and pandemic scepticism – speaking at the altar of Christ The Good Shepherd Church in Wakeley as a male wearing a black jumper walks towards him and pulls out an implement.

As churchgoers scream and run to safety, the attacker stabs the priest repeatedly. Video taken in the aftermath of the stabbing shows the bishop on the floor as parishioners hold bandages against his head. Other footage shows the attacker smiling as he is held to the floor by a police officer. NSW acting Assistant Commissioner Andrew Holland said the 15-year-old suspect “sustained injuries to his hand as a result of his actions”. He said the suspect was held down by parishioners until police arrived.

Four people were injured in the attack, although none of the injuries was deemed to be life-threatening. Two people were taken to Liverpool Hospital’s emergency department, which was closed to members of the public as a precaution during the height of the unrest. The attack triggered an angry response from hundreds of community members who quickly gathered outside the church believing the attacker was still inside. A police helicopter and the riot squad spent several hours countering the crowd, and some officers were injured and vehicles damaged as projectiles were thrown at police. Premier Chris Minns said the scenes were “disturbing” and urged the community to remain calm. “We are a strong community in NSW and it’s important that we all stick together, particularly in the face of adversity.” Photos: Wolter Peeters, SMH

Christ The Good Shepherd Church, Wakeley: Heartstopping moment worshippers hold down alleged ‘smiling stabber’ inside church – as riot erupts on Sydney’s streets

by Max Aitchison, Daily Mail Australia, April 15, 2024:

The moment worshippers pinned down the man accused of stabbing a bishop in the middle of a sermon has been captured on video.

Bishop Mar Mari Emmanuel was preaching at Christ The Good Shepherd Church in Wakeley in Sydney‘s west on Monday just after 7pm when a man dressed in a dark hoodie walked up to the altar and stabbed him multiple times.

Horrifying footage of the incident, which was being broadcast live on the church’s YouTube page, shows Bishop Emmanuel look up in astonishment as the attacker suddenly rains down blows on his face and head.

The horror incident sparked unrest outside the church as hundreds gathered in protest, hurling bottles and bricks at a hastily-erected police barrier as chants of ‘an eye for an eye’ and ‘bring him out’ could be heard.

It’s understood the crowds believe the alleged attacker is still inside the building.

Footage immediately after the attack has emerged of the alleged attacker being pinned down on his front by at least three people, including a police officer, as he smiles and appears to mock his captors.

One man, with blood visible on his jeans, sits with his legs straddling the alleged attacker’s head.

‘People are praying and you come and (allegedly) do this?’, the man says as he lightly slaps him on his cheek.

The police officer injects: ‘Stop, just let go, please. You’re going to make it worse.’

But then the man holding the camera pulls the other man’s leg away to reveal the alleged attacker’s face.

He is smiling and appears to laugh as the man holding the camera says ‘you’re a f***ing idiot, you’re going to cop it’.

The alleged attacker then appears to say: ‘You think they’ll hurt my brother?’ as the police officers try to usher the men away.

The situation outside the church and on surrounding streets remains tense with the New South Wales Public Order Riot squad deployed to the scene.

‘A large police response is underway and the public is urged to avoid the area,’ a spokesperson said.

NSW Ambulance said that four people were injured in the incident and had been taken to Liverpool Hospital – which has now been placed into lockdown as angry crowds swarm the facility.

Outside the church, groups of police officers, completely outnumbered, huddled together as bottles and bricks were hurled at them 

Some in the crowd cheered as car windows were smashed.

Footage on social media appeared to show a ladder being used to smash down a window of the church.

Police tried to hold a perimeter in nearby Welcome Park but were broken on a number of occasions by rioters who ran towards the church. 

They then deployed tear gas to allow their officers to move out of the area.

Some of those gathered could be heard shouting ‘they attack us with gas’….

BREAKING: STABBING ATTACK AT SYDNEY CHURCH THIS EVE

Bishop Mar Mari was just attacked during live stream in Wakeley, Sydney (near Fairfield) while delivering his sermon.

No information yet on the perpetrator or motive, but the worst is feared. pic.twitter.com/xBv3IPoYjk

UPDATE: Twitter is restricting republication of those two tweets. You can see the video of the witness saying that the attacker screamed “Allahu akbar” here. You can see video of the actual attack here.

This is the longer version of that video, where you can hear him speaking arabic. https://t.co/egjQOD0qbn

Mar Mari Emmanuel has reportedly been critical of Islam, and the attacker said, “Why is he swearing at my prophet? I wouldn’t have come here if he didn’t bring my religion into this.” One of those who restrained the attacker after the stabbing says of the attacker, “He kept saying ‘Allahu akbar, Allahu akbar.'”

None of this, of course, is mentioned in media reports. The establishment media’s primary focus is making sure no one thinks ill of Islam.

Meanwhile, the attacker grins happily while being restrained. He has done his duty before Allah, and he knows Allah will reward him.
