This happened yesterday in Normandy on the same day that the Democratic National Convention opened.  A clergyman in Normandy was attacked — and beheaded — by Muslims:

The 84-year-old priest, named as Jacques Hamel, had his throats cut while a nun is critically injured in hospital following the raid which saw five people held hostage by ISIS assailants shouting Allahu Akbar.

This afternoon it emerged that the murdered clergyman was deputising while the parish priest was on holiday. French authorities say they have arrested a third man in connection with the attack.

The two killers were ‘neutralised’ by marksmen as they emerged from the building, which is now being searched for explosives. French president Hollande said France is ‘at war’ with ISIS while the terror group has claimed responsibility for the killing.

It comes as it emerged that the building was one of a number of Catholic churches on a terrorist ‘hit list’ found on a suspected ISIS extremist last April.

It comes as no surprise that ISIS is already crowing over the attack. It’s news agency said that ‘two soldiers of the Islamic State’ were responsible for the butchery.  The Daily Mail said that the “killing was in response to its calls to target countries of the US-led coalition which is fighting ISIS.”

I don’t even know what to say about this, except that this Bible passage comes to mind:

“Precious in the sight of the LORD is the death of his saints” — Psalm 116:15

On a very related note, the Democrats gave 61 speeches yesterday and mentioned ISIS exactly ZERO times.
