This is plain racism!! Changing religion will not protect you in White countries!! This is a warning to the converts who wish to follow the white skin & get some privilege in return!!

Let us condemn this violence on Indians in Australia!!

    The offender told the priest that because he was Indian, he can't be saying mass.



In an apparent hate crime, an Indian Catholic priest was attacked by a 72-year-old man while leading the Sunday mass in a Melbourne church.
Racism may be the reason the priest was stabbed in the neck moments before he was about to say mass at a Melbourne church, reports News.com.au.
According to the report, it is believed that the offender told the priest that because he was Indian, he must be a Hindu or a Muslim and therefore can't be saying mass.The man has been charged for stabbing Rev Tomy Kalathoor Mathew, 48, in the neck moments before the priest was due to give the 11am Italian-language mass on Sunday.

He has been charged with intentionally and recklessly causing injury and bailed to appear in the Broadmeadows Magistrates' Court on June 13.
Father Tomy is recovering from non life-threatening injuries in hospital.
The attack was described as "appalling" by the Catholic Archdiocese of Melbourne.
Father Tomy is from Thamarassery diocese of Kozhikode, Kerala. He is a native of Karimbu near Anakkampoyil in Kozhikode.

He has been serving as vicar of St Mathews Parish in Melbourne for the last four years.
