"Be considerate of others, whoever they are;" The words of Father Jacques Hamel in last month's parish newsletter.
Churches in Britain (click here) have been told to tighten security after the murder of an 85-year-old priest in Normandy yesterday.
Despite there being no specific intelligence relating to attacks against the Christian community in the UK, the country's National Police Chiefs' Council is urging the community to be alert but not alarmed, report concerns and review their security as a precaution.
Two terrorists, proclaimed as "soldiers" by the Islamic State group, stormed the church in Saint-Etienne-du-Rouvray, a working-class town near Rouen, northwest of Paris, during morning mass yesterday and cut the throat of Father Jacques Hamel after taking worshippers including two nuns hostage.

Those that define their religious belief with violence will carry out 'domestic terrorism' as a retaliation against the destruction of Daesh' occupation of land in the middle east. The destruction of Daesh in Syria and Iraq is only the first step.
Europe has the correct focus of routing out violent citizens to end the domestic terrorism. Due process will be the place where the media should focus as well as understanding actions against citizens and/or those on visas and/or immigrants.
It is important citizens are followed by the media when they are arrested. Two fold. Protect the innocent and realize how violent citizens seeks success within the current infrastructure of any country.

Father Hamel – forced to kneel by his two killers who were later shot dead by police – was last night hailed as a “martyr of faith”....
