It’s hard to call any particular atrocity in France “the most sickening of all” – ISIS and its freelancers constantly push that envelope – but this one has to be on the short list:

A PRIEST has been beheaded and another hostage is ‘fighting for their life’ after two knife-wielding terrorists, reportedly shouting ‘Allahu Akbar’, took two nuns and several worshippers hostage at a church in northern France.

A third suspect has reportedly been arrested outside the church after a pair of ‘bearded’ attackers were shot and killed after raiding a Catholic mass at 9am in the French town of Saint-Etienne-du-Rouvray, near Rouen in Normandy.

Father Jacques Hamel, believed to be 86-years-old, was the priest slaughtered by the duo as A’maq news agency, which is affiliated with ISIS, has officially reported that “two soldiers of the Islamic State” carried out the savage attack.

According to security sources, one of the attackers was a convicted ‘electronic tag wearing’ terrorist living with his parents.

Knife violence is kinda outta control today, isn’t it?
