Christianity Under Attack in Europe-Literally

 


St Stephen's Cathedral in Vienna


The news out of Europe is coming so fast we cannot keep up with the translations.

We have been reporting all week about the two horrific attacks in France, where four people have been murdered and two beheaded. Now comes news out of Lyons that a Greek Orthodox priest has been shot in the abdomen by an unidentified gunman who is still on the loose.

In Vienna, meanwhile, on Thursday about 30 Turks stormed a church shouting, "Allahu Akhbar" turning over furniture before being dispersed by police. Today, at the famed St Stephensdom in Vienna, an Afghan man walked in shouting Islamic phrases before being arrested by police.

In both France and Austria, public officials are making statements that they will protect the right of Christians to freely practice their religion. Imagine that it is necessary to make these types of statements in Europe!
