Russian priest killed, possibly connected to his mission to Muslims

MOSCOW — The Rev. Daniil Sysoyev, a priest in the Russian Orthodox Church who was known for promoting missionary work among Muslims, was shot and killed in his parish church late Thursday night, the RIA Novosti news agency reported.

Father Sysoyev, 35, died at a Moscow hospital of gunshot wounds to the head and chest, RIA Novosti said. The Web site of the Moscow patriarchate confirmed his death. The parish’s choir director was wounded in the shootings at the Church of St. Thomas by the unidentified assailant.

A Moscow Patriarchate official called Father Sysoyev a “talented missionary” whose work among Muslims, including Tatars, might have been the motive for the shooting. [...]

Fitna is disagreeing with Mohammed. It is a capital crime of thought in Islam. Any Muslim may carry out the death sentence and will be a hero for doing so. Mohammed assassinated his critics and had them assassinated. Freelance assassins who even murdered family members were given the highest praise by Mohammed. This is the man all Muslims are commanded to emulate. Father Siisov's murder for fitna is normative Islam and surprises no one who understands this core doctrine of Islam. Islam is a mind-control and information control death cult. Information about Islam is normatively controlled by violence and the threat of violence. There is no freedom of expression in Islam. Islam is antithetical to the Golden Rule and the United Nations Declaration of Human Rights.
