A priest was reportedly stabbed in his own home when he refused to give money to a man claiming to be an asylum seeker who had asked to use his shower.

Father Jos Vanderlee, a 65-year-old priest in the north east Belgian town of Lanaken, was rushed to hospital with hand and tendon injuries.  He is expected to make a full recovery.

According to local newspaper Het Nieuwsblad, a man who said he was an asylum seeker knocked on the vicar’s door  on Sunday and asked if he could use the shower.

Father Vanderlee agreed and let the man inside – but after showering he is said to have demanded money from the priest.

When Father Vanderlee refused, the man allegedly stabbed him before fleeing the scene.

Belgian authorities said they are investigating but denied the incident had links to terrorism.

Marino Keulen, mayor of Lanaken, said: “Despite the fact that we are shocked, we must stress that this incident can not be linked to terrorist acts at this stage of the investigation.”

Initial reports said the man was seeking asylum in the Netherlands but strayed into Lanaken, which rests on the border.

It was also suggested that the man was merely pretending to be an asylum seeker so he could gain access to the priest’s house in order to rob him.

It comes just six days after an elderly priest had his throat cut by Isil terrorists in the rural French town of St-Etienne-du-Rouvray in Normandy.

Adel Kermiche and Abdelmalik Petitjean, both 19, were shot dead by police as they fled the church in which they killed Catholic priest Jacques Hamel and took two nuns hostage. 

They reportedly forced Father Hamel to kneel at his own altar before cutting his throat with a knife.

“…that this incident can not be linked to terrorist acts at this stage of the investigation.”

Or at any stage of the investigation as you take orders from the EU bureaucrats who take orders from Obama. We must not tell the truth – we need time to infect the EU nation States with enough Musloids in order for Islam to conquer Europe.

Traitor to Humanity = Obama.

That theory would be brilliant if it wasn’t so full of holes.

Conspiracy theories always look obvious from a distance. The planet looks mostly blue and tranquil from outer-space.

But as you get closer, and you begin to see the details, you come to the sometimes disappointing conclusion that the planet is not mostly blue nor tranquil. There are annoying amounts of details that disprove what you thought was so obvious.

You went from a reported stabbing incident, by a person with unknown connections (if any), to a connection between ordinary human investigators to EU bureaucrats to Nation States to a Religion, through a President?

Do you honestly think that if Obama were giving direct orders to EU Bureaucrats, and then they were giving direct orders to Muslims, and then they were giving orders to individuals to commit random stabbings of priests that this kind of conspiracy could survive?

The level of secrecy would be IMPOSSIBLE to contain! Someone along the line would leak the information and every known actor would be hanged on the spot…

There may be some level of institutional bias and systematic prejudice, but to call-out some mastermind in a plot is just madness.

“… EU Bureaucrats, and then they were giving direct orders to Muslims,…” – well, you pulled that one out of your butthole.

Obama is a Muslim and he hates white people. Look at how he reacts to Obvious Islamic attacks – refuses to even call them what they are and swallows real hard before he can voice ‘radical Islamic extremist’.
The Obvious point I was making (that you didn’t get) – Everyone knows (except you) that the entire EU has not reported, has hidden,
has delayed, and has obfuscated ALL the Islamic atrocities since the hordes of mentally deficient Neanderthals advanced on Europe. So, ask yourself WHY would ALL the bureaucrats (and the police that work for same) in ALL the nation states within the EU render this same behavior for the Islamic atrocities.

I don’t mind criticism – I do make errors, but unlike most people I will acknowledge when I’m wrong; it is just a rare day in hell when that circumstance occurs. AND, I never lie.

Homeland Security granted a new temporary amnesty Monday to more than 8,000 Syrians living in the U.S. right now, saying they can remain for up to 18 months longer no matter what their legal status.
