French Priest’s Final Words to Islamic State Terrorists Before They Slit His Throat

myrmidons. During the ceremony, attendees learned the last words that the Rev. Jacques Hamel said to his murderers as he tried to push them away with his feet.

"Go away, Satan!" the 86-year-old holy man commanded before the assailants slit his throat at the altar of his parish.

Hundreds of priests and bishops filled the sumptuous Rouen cathedral alongside several hundred people, including Moslems who have joined in the grieving since the brutal attack that occurred as the priest celebrated morning Mass.

The Islamic State group grabbed credit for the attack in which Hamel, two nuns and an elderly couple were held hostage before the killers slashed the priest’s throat and seriously maimed the other man. Another nun at the Mass slipped away and sounded an alarm. Police shot to death both attackers as they left the church.

The Christian Post reported that since the murder several French Moslem leaders have refused to bury the two 19-year old radicals.

Hamel’s grisly murder came less than two weeks after 84 people were killed in an attack in Nice, La Belle France, by a man who drove a truck into a crowd of Bastille Day revelers. The events sent shockwaves throughout a country rattled by a series of violent attacks carried out by Islamic myrmidons.

Danish Muslim group denies offering French jihadist burial

A Danish Muslim organization on Thursday denies media reports that it had offered to bury one of the jihadists who murdered a French priest, after the group was slammed by politicians.

Jyllands-Posten, one of Denmark’s main newspapers, on Wednesday reported that the Danish Islamic Burial Fund was willing to bury 19-year-old jihadist Adel Kermiche in Denmark after Muslim leaders in France had refused to do so.

“His remarks were not on behalf of the fund,” the head of the Danish group, Bashir Ahmad Nazmi, tells AFP in an email, referring to the interview with deputy chairman Kasem Said Ahmad, whom Danish media had referred to as the group’s chairman.

The Muslim cemetery outside Copenhagen was only “for Muslims in Denmark,” the fund says in a short statement.

#5  The Pope might consider p!ssing off the Islamists by putting up Fr. Hamel for sainthood.

This Pope? The Commie Pope? Not a chance.

His cassock, no shell for the tortoise.
"To quote Saint Antoine,
'You poor Devil! Begone!',
For my soul and my God are my fortress."

#2  "Go away Satan." A brave man in the face of evil. God rest his soul. The Pope might consider p!ssing off the Islamists by putting up Fr. Hamel for sainthood. And if he can find it in his heart, a curse on the evil-doers throughout eternity.
