CROATIAN CATHOLIC NUN STABBED BY MUSLIM MIGRANT SHOUTING "ALLAHU AKBAR"
A Catholic nun was stabbed with a sharp object in Zagreb, Croatia on Friday afternoon by a man who allegedly shouted "Allahu akbar" during the attack. She survived and is receiving treatment at a hospital.
The victim, identified as 34 year old Sister Marija Tatjana Zrno, was attacked in the Malešnica neighborhood and later transported to the Sisters of Charity University Hospital, according to Narod.hr.
She was admitted with injuries to the abdominal area. While some Facebook posts claimed she had died, hospital staff told local media she was not in a life threatening condition.
Police confirmed the hospital notified them that a woman had been brought in with injuries consistent with a sharp object wound, and they have opened a criminal investigation to determine the circumstances of the attack.
The Zagreb Police Department is treating the case as a serious incident, though no arrests or official motive have been announced, Jabuka.tv reported.
Unofficial sources cited in multiple Croatian outlets said the attacker was a migrant who allegedly shouted religious slogans including "Allahu akbar" during the stabbing.
The attack occurred outside the nun's convent. After the stabbing, Sister Zrno returned to the convent and was taken to the hospital by a known acquaintance.
Sister Zrno is a member of the Sisters of Charity of Saint Vincent de Paul and originally from Šujica, Bosnia and Herzegovina. She lives at a convent on Frankopanska Street in Zagreb and teaches religious education at a local primary school.
Known nationally for her passionate love of football, Sister Zrno gained public recognition through her television work on Laudato TV, where she hosted football programs and built a following among Croatian viewers.
She openly embraced football as a lifelong interest and said she saw it as a tool for connecting people and evangelization.
She supported international clubs such as Real Madrid, Juventus, Bayern Munich, and Liverpool. Among Croatian clubs, she favors Hajduk Split, which she attributed to her Herzegovinian roots.
She also co organized a prayer initiative with Father Ivan Dominik Iličić called "Rosary for the Fiery Ones" during the World Cup, including one event ahead of Croatia's match against Japan that involved the grandmother of national team player Ivan Perišić.
Sister Zrno said she personally informed Croatian coach Zlatko Dalić of the prayer gatherings. She praised Croatian players for their conduct on the field and how they treated their opponents.
THE CRUSADER'S OPINION
The attacker shouted Allahu akbar.
He was a migrant.
No arrests announced.
This is what Europe's migration crisis looks like.
Sister Marija Tatjana Zrno teaches religious education at a primary school.
She hosts football programs on Christian television.
She organizes rosary prayer initiatives during the World Cup.
She lives a life of service and evangelization.
And a migrant stabbed her in the abdomen while shouting Islamic battle cries.
Croatia is not Syria.
Zagreb is not Baghdad.
But Europe has imported the violence of the Middle East through mass migration policies that prioritize compassion for migrants over protection of citizens.
Sister Zrno survived.
She was not in life threatening condition.
But the next nun might not be so fortunate.
The next priest might die.
The next Christian teacher might be killed.
And European leaders will express concern, offer thoughts and prayers, and change absolutely nothing about their migration policies.
This attack was religiously motivated.
The attacker shouted Allahu akbar while stabbing a Catholic nun.
That is Islamic terrorism.
Call it what it is.
TAKE ACTION
- Pray for Sister Marija Tatjana Zrno as she recovers from stab wounds inflicted by a migrant shouting Islamic slogans outside her convent. Pray for complete healing, protection from future attacks, and courage to continue her ministry teaching children and evangelizing through media.
- Demand accountability from Croatian authorities by contacting the Zagreb Police Department and Croatian government officials insisting on immediate arrest and prosecution of the migrant attacker, full investigation of religious motivation, and increased protection for Catholic clergy and religious sites.
- Support European Christian security initiatives through organizations advocating for protection of churches, convents, monasteries, and Christian workers facing escalating attacks from migrants and Islamic extremists across the continent.
- ADF International: www.adfinternational.org
- Contact your government representatives demanding reform of migration policies that endanger Christians in Europe. Insist on thorough vetting of migrants from Muslim majority countries, deportation of those committing religious violence, and prioritization of Christian safety over migration ideology.
