ITALY: Mass-Christian-Casualty Attack Foiled, Muslims Armed with Machine Guns Ready to Fire On 40,000 Christians

Another deadly Islamic attack against non-Muslim foiled followed by deafening silence by the legacy media. Why is the leftwing media axis carrying water for the most brutal ideology on the face of the earth?

It would have been horrific: Italy: We almost had another mass-Christian-casualty event in Europe. In Viterbo last night, two Turkish jihadis armed with machine guns were reportedly ready to fire upon a crowd of 40,000 Christians, all gathered for a local festival. The men had set up their weapons in a rented apartment overlooking the square where the Christian procession would pass. They hoped to kill as many Christians as possible. Praise God, police stormed the apartment in time to thwart the attack (Christian Emergency Alliance).

Washington Times: Two armed Turkish men were being questioned Thursday after being arrested in Viterbo, near Rome, hours before a popular local festival, Italy’s Premier Giorgia Meloni said. Meloni praised police and Interior Minister Matteo Piantedosi for their “swift intervention” leading to the arrests on Wednesday night, which she said “allowed for the safe celebration of a unique event.” Italian media reported that the two men were suspected of preparing an attack during the celebration, which was attended by Italian Foreign Minister Antonio Tajani….

Thousands of people attend Viterbo’s Macchina di Santa Rosa festival, a religious procession and celebration held every year on Sept. 3 to honor the city’s patron saint, Santa Rosa. The main event involves 100 “Facchini di Santa Rosa,” porters carrying a towering, illuminated structure called the “Macchina,” which weighs nearly 5 tons, through the city’s narrow medieval streets (Washington Times).
