Arab man interrupts Church liturgy in Athens and starts screaming Quranic verses (video)

The man fled the scene

Newsroom April 20 10:30

An unprecedented event took place last Saturday in Agios Panteleimon in Athens during the liturgy.

A foreigner of Arab descent broke into the church, turned to the microphone, and started shouting Quranic verses in front of a shocked congregation.

In seconds, two men in the choir ran towards him and dragged him out of the Church. By the time police arrived, the man had disappeared from the scene.

It is the Holy Week in Greece, as the country is preparing to go into Easter Sunday.
