Raise a Glass to Malbec! Malbec World Day, April 17 | SaltWire #reels #shorts #wine #foodSYDNEY - The father of the teenager that stabbed an Assyrian bishop during a church service in Sydney saw no signs of radicalism, a community leader said on Wednesday, as police planned to charge people who attacked emergency services following the incident.
"He said other than him being rebellious to him... there were no signs. There were absolutely no signs to him," Kheir told Reuters. The stabbing has stirred up fears of persecution for the Assyrian community - predominantly Christians from the Middle East - some of whom fled their homeland because of their faith. Roughly 40% of Australia's 42,000 strong Assyrian population live in the area around the church.
The Lebanese Muslim Association said the Lakemba mosque in Sydney's southwest, one of Australia's largest, had received firebomb threats on Monday night.Monday's incident at the western Sydney suburb of Wakeley triggered clashes outside the church between police and an angry crowd of the bishop's followers who demanded the attacker be handed over to them.
