The father of the teenage boy who allegedly stabbed clergymen at Christ The Good Shepherd Church in western Sydney spent the night of the terror attack at Lakemba Mosque.

On Monday night the Assyrian church was holding a service by Bishop Mar Mari Emmanuel, who was allegedly stabbed multiple times as it was being livestreamed on Facebook.

Secretary of the Lebanese Muslim Association Gamel Kheir spoke on the alleged terrorist's father’s behalf. Picture: NCA NewsWire / David Swift Kheir said in a statement posted on Facebook on Tuesday the firebomb threats against Sydney mosques were “unfounded” but he hoped it would not happen and “common sense would prevail”.Kheir said the father was “guilt-ridden” and all he could do was hug him and “cry with him”.

“It’s not a religious issue. I don’t know of any religion on earth that says to go to another parish and stab someone.”
