Sydney has been shaken by another stabbing attack with a priest and worshippers assailed by a knife-wielding man Monday in a suburban church.

Bishop Mari Emmanuel was preaching a live-streamed sermon at Christ The Good Shepherd Church in the city’s west when a man dressed in black approached the altar and allegedly stabbed the Christian Orthodox priest multiple times.

Horrifying footage of the incident, which was being broadcast live on the church’s YouTube page, shows Bishop Emmanuel look up in astonishment as the attacker suddenly rains down blows on his face and head, news.com.au reports.

The local Sydney-based outlet goes on to state:

The Bishop gained prominence during the Covid-19 pandemic after slamming Sydney’s lockdown as “mass slavery”.
He also claimed vaccines were futile because living “normally” would boost immunity.
“Are we humans? Because we are being treated like animals,” Bishop Emmanuel said in a sermon at the time in 2021.
“They are encouraging people to go and take vaccine and stay at home. They have had enough.”
Some reports suggest at least two others were also allegedly stabbed in the ensuing tussle. That claim is still to be verified.

New South Wales (NSW) police said they were responding to the incident, which took place just after 7pm.

A police operation is underway in Wakeley, following reports of a stabbing.
Officers attached to Fairfield City Police Area Command attended a location on Welcome Street, Wakeley following reports a number of people were stabbed.
Officers arrested a male and he is assisting…

The attack comes just 48 hours after six people were murdered in Westfield mall at Bondi Junction by a crazed knifeman, as Breitbart News reported.

Joel Cauchi, 40, stabbed five women and a male security guard to death and injured several others before he was gunned down by a police officer.

There is no suggestion the two events are linked.

And this son of a bitch is still alive?

OA
A crowd of more than 5000 angry Christian men have surrounded the church where hundreds of Riot Police are guarding the #stabbing attacker.

Why, yes, this son of a bitch is still alive. As noted in an article above, he is PROTECTED by HUNDREDS OF RIOT POLICE. Now you know where the STATE's interests lie. Are we surprised? Not at all.

This, the stabbings and shootings will be happening here soon enough. Congregations need quiet, situationally aware armed men keeping watch.

Fair use cited

a spokesperson for NSW Health said the bishop's condition was critical but stable.

A Sydney bishop is among multiple people allegedly stabbed during a church service in the city's south-west on Monday night.

The attack occurred at the Assyrian Orthodox Church, Christ The Good Shepherd Church in Wakeley, with graphic video showing a man lunging at Bishop Mar Mari Emmanuel with something in his hand during a mass that was being broadcast online.

NSW Ambulance said three other people were also stabbed.

NSW Police said a male was arrested at the scene and "he has been removed from the church and taken to an undisclosed location".

They said those stabbed suffered non-life-threatening injuries and were treated by paramedics before being taken to hospital.

However, a spokesperson for NSW Health said the bishop's condition was critical but stable, and was being treated at Liverpool Hospital.

The hospital went into partial lockdown but people needing immediate care were able to access services.

The public were advised to avoid the area during the large scale police response which started just after 7pm.

Vision from outside the church shows chaotic scenes with a large crowd of people.

NSW Premier Chris Minns said he has been briefed by the Police Commissioner and NSW Health about the situation.

"My thoughts and prayers are with the victims and first responders who are working to keep us safe," he said.

"It's important that the community remain calm and continue to listen and act to the directions of police and emergency services.
"We are a strong community in NSW and it's important that we all stick together, particularly in the face of adversity."

Late on Monday night, Mr Minns convened a meeting of government officials and leaders representing religious communities in Western Sydney.

Mr Minns said the group of 11 "endorsed and supported a unanimous condemnation of violence in any form".

"We’re calling on everyone to act with kindness and respect for each other," he said in a statement.

The incident comes two days after a man killed six people in a stabbing attack at Westfield Bondi Junction on Saturday afternoon.

Just before 1am on Tuesday, police said the operation had ended but two officers had been injured, and police cars damaged.

"A constable was hit with a metal object and sustained a twisted knee and a chipped tooth," they said in a statement.

"Another constable sustained a broken jaw after he was hit with a brick and a fence paling.

"They were both taken to hospital for treatment."

Religious leaders express shock​

Faith NSW CEO Murray Norman described the stabbing of Bishop Emmanuel as "horrific" and deeply shocking.

"Tonight, Bishop Emmanuel was stabbed, it's a hideous thing, I can't believe this can happen in Australia during a mass, it's just horrible," he told the ABC.

"I haven't heard about his condition, but the faith communities are desperately grieving and praying for the bishop, it's just horrible that this could happen after everything that's happened this week."

Jewish community leader Alex Ryvchin, from the Executive Council of Australian Jewry posted on X (formerly Twitter) that he was "horrified by the stabbing attack".

"I stand in complete solidarity with the beautiful Assyrian community and pray that the injured recover fully in body and soul," he said.

I. H. Kauser, the national president and Grand Imam of the Ahmadiyya Muslim Community Australia, expressed "profound sadness and shock".

"The Ahmadiyya Muslim Community Australia unequivocally condemns tonight's attack on Bishop Mar Mari Emmanuel in the strongest possible terms.

"We extend our deepest sympathy to all those injured in the attack and wish them a speedy and complete recovery."

"A crowd of more than 5000 angry Christian men have surrounded the church where hundreds of Riot Police are guarding the #stabbing attacker."

They, and their people, are too late. They should have gotten angry and protested and even gone to war when the government came to disarm them.

We're it, folks. Don't sit on the couch and let them disarm you. A few shotgun blasts to the faces of the evil ones will give the others pause.

"What would things have been like if every Security operative, when he went out at night to make an arrest, had been uncertain whether he would return alive and had to say good-bye to his family? Or if, during periods of mass arrests, as for example in Leningrad, when they arrested a quarter of the entire city, people had not simply sat there in their lairs, paling with terror at every bang of the downstairs door and at every step on the staircase, but had understood they had nothing left to lose and had boldly set up in the downstairs hall an ambush of half a dozen people with axes, hammers, pokers, or whatever else was at hand?... The Organs would very quickly have suffered a shortage of officers and transport and, notwithstanding all of Stalin's thirst, the cursed machine would have ground to a halt!"

Perp is supposedly a 15yr old known to police

The 15-year-old suspect is "known to police" and investigators have spoken to him, New South Wales acting assistant commissioner Andrew Holland told a press briefing.

AC Holland said: "Police have initially spoken to the young person again, his injuries are quite severe in his hand," adding: "He's fairly upset and very distraught.

"He's asked to speak to his parents at this stage and we're making arrangements with his parents to make contact with him."

The acting assistant commissioner continued: "Police are obviously making sure that that young person is safe and, and obviously with the action of the parishioners and obviously the local community, there was concerns for his safety.

"Hence, the decision was made to detain him in the church until later in the night."

He praised the churchgoers for jumping into action amid the attack and for "subduing him after he stabbed the two clergy members"

I did not know who he was when he popped up on Roku's YouTube. I thought what he said about the church in America was right on.

I just read that his attacker used a flick knife and it did not open all the way. That is why the Bishop was not killed and the attacker cut his own finger off. (?)

Aussie Govt Orders Facebook And X To Remove Muslim Knife Attack Video​

(I hate to tell them, and no offense to Dobbin, but that horse has already left the barn.)

Parishioners and live stream audience members for the Christ The Good Shepherd Church in Sydney, Australia were enjoying a sermon by popular conservative Bishop Mar Mari Emmanuel when a young male Muslim assailant entered the church and stabbed him repeatedly with a knife. The live stream clip was immediately shared far and wide on social media with X and Facebook being the easiest sites to view the video.

Bishop Mar Mari Emmanuel is a leader of the Assyrian Orthodox sect who has a global following. He has expressed stalwart conservative views on Islam, the LGBT community, and was vocal in his sermons against lockdowns and vaccinations during COVID-19. Four other member of the church were injured while subduing the attacker; the young man also reportedly cut off some of his own fingers during the struggle.

The Australia government through their "E-Safety Commissioner" has voiced concerns over the spread of the clip and has "ordered" Facebook and X to remove if from public access within 24 hours on the grounds that it will "make people emotional" and "cause disharmony." How much power Australia's E-Safety Commissioner actually has to follow through on her threats remains to be seen.

The identity of the attacker has yet to be revealed by authorities, but he is allegedly 16-years old and was recorded smiling after stabbing the Bishop while praising Allah. Once again, westerners have been treated to a lesson in cultural diversity.

The motivation behind Australia's effort to have the event removed from social media is blatantly transparent. If the attack involved anyone other than a Muslim it is unlikely they would have an interest in censoring the video. However, such horrifying incidents involving potential migrants create growing opposition to the open border policies of western progressive governments. So, rather than addressing the root of the problem (mutually exclusive cultures), officials have decided it's better to hide it instead.

Public outcry over the attack has led to protests in the streets of Sydney with many Australians becoming angry and tired of the special protections allotted to people with the "right beliefs" and ethnic background. To their credit, the Sidney police have labeled the stabbing a terrorist attack with adequate evidence of religious motivation. This, though, does not help if the attack is simply allowed to fade into the background until the next time the third world decides to force itself onto the western public.

Aussie Govt Orders Facebook And X To Remove Muslim Knife Attack Video
Below is the video the Australia government wants us not to be able to view and is trying to censor globally. This is the moment when a Jihadi is stabbing a Christian Bishop in Australia. You know what to do. Share it as much as possible.

Stunning that Australian politicians believe they should be able to control what the entire world sees. This one, clearly a globalist, calls for Elon to be locked up.

The Aussie government is afraid of what Musk may have in his archives at X, that they can't control. I suspect that there are many Communitions between them they had rather not be seen by the world or at least their own people.
