The media was thrilled back in June when a man who stabbed 4 children in France was supposedly identified as a “Christian” asylum seeker from Syria.

Now we know the truth.

The man who stabbed four toddlers and two adults on a playground in Annecy, France, reportedly yelled “In the name of Jesus Christ” when he perpetrated his crime. The media was instantly in love with the man identified as Abdelmessih H. because they finally had their “Christian terrorist.”

Now we find that Le Monde newspaper is saying that this “Syrian refugee” is not a Christian at all, but only claimed the religion so he would qualify as a “refugee” to get into France.

That’s right, he lied.

Per PJ Media:

He was a former member of Bashar al-Assad’s army, a deserter, affiliated with the Islamic State, who did stupid things with the Islamic State, who found after a while that it wasn’t very funny, who therefore wanted to ask for political asylum in Europe. But he was told that to be able to have political asylum in Europe, you have to be either an Eastern Christian or homosexual, declaring as an Eastern Christian or declaring as homosexual will make the process easier for you. Therefore, he declared himself an Eastern Christian, so in fact he faked his identity in Turkey, and in fact, after that, he began a relationship with a real Christian. Suddenly he rebuilt his life with her in Sweden, but after a while the girl realized the deception. They still had a kid together and so on, but he never went to mass….

So, the guy lied. He is not a Christian at all.
