Russia too

Churches have been attacked in Egypt, Nigeria, Iraq, and now Russia can be added to that list. 

From the New York Times: "A man carrying a knife and a hunting rifle opened fire on worshipers on Sunday at an Orthodox church in Kizlyar, in the Dagestan region of Russia, killing at least five people and wounding several others, according to a Russian state news agency."

"The gunman shouted, “Allahu akbar” and began firing, a priest told the local news media. Churchgoers said they had prevented more casualties by closing the door to the church and stopping the attacker from getting inside.

Islamic State has taken "credit" for the murders.
