Apparently that someone thought he was 'a terrorist' Muslim and proceeded to beat him up and called the police saying how he caught 'a terrorist'. How ignorant!

I got it second hand... What a disturbed person with much anger. Even if the Greek priest was instead a Muslim cleric, would he deserve to be hit with a metal bar?!? Lord have mercy!!!!
