Gegen 13.30 überfielen derzeit 2 unbekannte Täter mehrere Ordensbrüder in der Klosterkirche Maria Immaculata in #Strebersdorf. Die Tat streckte sich über mehrere Stunden, gegen 16:17 Uhr entdeckten unsere KollegInnen die gefesselten und teils schwer verletzen Opfer.
BERLIN —Five monks were assaulted at a Vienna church on Thursday by two people, at least one of whom apparently demanded money and valuables, police said.Police said the assault happened at about 1:30 p.m. (1230 GMT; 7:30 a.m. EST) at a complex in the city’s Floridsdorf district. No church service was underway when the assailants entered the Maria Immaculata church.
Police found the monks tied up, one of them with head injuries, nearly three hours later. They were aged between 56 and 68, and it appeared that the others had tried to intervene after one of the assailants — described as speaking with a foreign accent — attacked the oldest monk, the Austria Press Agency reported.
Police wrote on Twitter that, while the precise motive remains unclear, “a possible terror motive can be ruled out” in the incident at the Maria Immaculata church.
Officers were searching for the perpetrators, including in the complex where the incident took place. They said Thursday evening that they had found nothing in the building.

Pope Stupidus I – Al Lah is the Lord in Arabic and refers to Baal the Lord of Mecca, which Muhammad’s family was responsible for caretaking….what a coincidence. Moslems worship the moon deity Baal you pinhead, not God.
Mein Koran refutes the Trinity, literally dozens of times. But Stupid has never read Mein Koran so he does not know this.
I seriously doubt that this pope has ever read the Bible, even the Roman Catholic vulgate … If I was making book, I’d give serious odds that he hasn’t.
Of course not. He is completely an open borders no matter what kind of quisling Marxist anti-Christian kind of guy. This post is not intended to be Catholic bashing. Many of them are horrified by this poop.
I apologize if I in any way offended you. He doesn’t represent any Catholic I know. Most of them are kind of conservative and have traditional values. They regard him as a sort of anti-Pope. You are in good company.
The main difference between Mein Kampf (the Nazis had plans to completely liquidate the Church), and Mein Koran is that the former is better written, more intelligent, less racist and supremacist and not as violent.

Sheeeit, robbing churches is as commonplace as robbing liquor stores or 7-11 here in the ‘states….NOT.

Of course this was not terror related, nor did it have anything to do with moslems. It’s hell week for fraternities, in Austria, and some tappa keg aday boys …. were undergoing hazing.

A “silent” World War 3 has begun against all Christians funded by satanic globalists (e.g. Chicoms). For a better understanding of the powers of Christianity and why globalists consider Christians a serious threat to their “new world order” you should read this article by Sister Ciara. http://www.whatdoesitmean.com/
The Chinese aren’t spreading Islam. The Chinese hate Muslims too.
They don’t want them either. A communist can not allow competition for loyalty.
The state is the communist god. The Chinese are colonizing countries through predatory lending.
When the country defaults, they take over.
China Legalizes ‘Transformation’ Internment Camps for Muslim Uighurs
By Frances Martel
10/10/18
The government of China passed a regional law Tuesday formally allowing officials in the Muslim-majority province of Xinjiang to established internment camps for ethnic Uighurs considered insufficiently loyal to the Communist Party.
The camps have existed for at least one year. Human rights groups and the State Department have estimated that police have arbitrarily detained one million Uighur Muslims in these camps, where they are forced to renounce their religion, learn Mandarin, and memorize communist propaganda songs. Survivors of the camps say they endured physical and psychological torture.
…
Sounds good to me. I just hope they include muslum sympathizers/apologists for possible residence in the internment camps as well — muslum collaborators should get their heads ventilated.
Church attacked in Austria, 15 injured, monks taken hostage by “foreign” men,.. Amish? Buddhist? Episcopalians?
……….. ASIANS!! Asians are now the new easy target of the Islamist-apologist !!
Asians seem to be bringing terrorism to Canuckistan as well. Who knew they were so much trouble?
Just for the record the greatest proportion of muslums are the muslum chumpanzees of the Philippines, Malaysia (spit) and Indonesia (spit again).
The Philippines is a catholic country, the only trouble they have is from the muslims in the far south – same as in Thailand – where they have been killing and kidnapping for decades to get their own islamic territory there.

dang, and its not even starvation and murder month, er I mean ramadamn-mydingdong
Hitler who was born in Austria viewed the unjust Muhammadism as ultimate Nazi religion that as he told his architect & minister of war Albert Speer matches the German temperament better than Jesuism & many Nazi criminals openly converted to the unjust Muhammadism after the war & worked for the Egyptian Muhammadist regime under Nasser or in Syria.
Boeckler Wilhelm became Abd al Karim.
The SS Elite shared a belief that Christianity was a ‘weak’ Jew-Religion imposed on a vibrant ‘pagan’ warrior nation of aryans.

Yes … terrorism can be ruled out. And it’s not a crime either. And don’t believe your lying eyes.
When was the last time a gang attacked some monks? What did they have some really valuable statues? I’m sure those will be easy to pawn.
Meanwhile, can we name a religion that makes it a duty – and a virtue – to rob unbelievers?
Let’s that would be Amish – right?

These are now wanted criminals who were with their victims for hours and NO DESCRIPTIONS have been given by the police to the public. That is in itself a betrayal of public safety.
Now they are called “foreign” men. Not Mouslems. The ‘elite and the MSM are doing everything to cover for their Mouslems. They call them anything but Mouslems.
It might of been those Asians that have been on the rampage in England!

Only 2 possibilities, Gay Fascist Groups like ActUp! which attack Churches, desecrate them (urinating, faeces, smashing idols etc), or Leftards other favorite pet the Moslems, Moslems whose book calls for the death of Christians for worshipping the Trinity. Coincidentally I was just reading the apocrypha and lies on another site, which said Mad Fascist Muhammad wrote a tract protecting Monks and Nuns from Moslem rape and torture.
So which group is it? Militant Queers or Moslems? Oh yes, of course ‘Moslems’ are not the problem it is the cult of ‘Submission’, that is the problem……

Amazing how quickly “terrorism” is ruled out as a motive even if that appears to be the very thing. It is almost as if departments have been ordered to R/O the obvious first thing. Hmmm.

Wow! Austrians are scratching their heads wondering who are the foreign men. The Austrians choose to live in denial as do their EU counterparts; Ironically, they are on the cusp of eradication, ethnic cleansing, solely because of their refusal of extracting their heads from their favorite orifice. If these ‘foreigners’ were non-Muslim the authorities would declare these ‘terrorists’ as right-wing extremists; more so, the true enemy of the state, not Islam.
