What will pro-Hamas terrorist do to get their worldview heard? In Australia, “Australian police on Tuesday said a knife attack on an Assyrian church bishop and some followers in Sydney was a terrorist act motivated by suspected religious extremism.”

At least  four people, including Bishop Mar Mari Emmanuel of the Assyrian Christ The Good Shepherd Church, were wounded when “a man lunged at him with a knife during a service live-streamed on Monday.”

The assailant was said to say Allah Akbar.

Such church incidents were supposed to take place in Nigeria, but now it seems they have become the norm also in Australia.
