... that in 1976, after the Roman Catholic bishop Gaston Marie Jacquier was assassinated in Algiers, Algeria, Léon-Étienne Duval, the Archbishop of Algiers, ordered his clergy not to wear clerical clothing or display the cross in public? Source: "Following Jacquier's death, Duval put out the order to the clergy in his diocese not to wear their religious habits in public or ostentatiously display the cross." (Kiser, John (2003). The Monks of Tibhirine: Faith, Love, and Terror in Algeria. Macmillan. p. 47)
- ALT1:... ~~that in July 1976, the French Roman Catholic bishop Gaston Marie Jacquier was assassinated in Algiers, Algeria~~? Source: "The Rt. Rev. Msgr. Gaston Marie Jacquier, Roman Catholic auxiliary bishop of Algiers, was assassinated yesterday, the diocesan office announced." ("Catholic Bishop Murdered in Algiers". The Palm Beach Post. 1976-07-09)
- ALT2:... ~~that in 1976, the Roman Catholic bishop Gaston Marie Jacquier was murdered in Algiers by a man with a history of mental illness, but some believed that the killer had a religious motivation?~~ Source: "The incident was officially condemned and treated in the press as the lone action of a wild man, un fou. Yet, to those who thought about it, a well-aimed stab to the inner thigh was an unusual way for a crazy person to kill someone. And then the madman escaped into a car that happened to be waiting nearby. Following Jacquier's death, Duval put out the order to the clergy in his diocese not to wear their religious habits in public or ostentatiously display the cross." (Kiser, John (2003).

Newness and length checked, very well written (I find one-liner sections annoying, and the MOS discourages them, but that's not anything to hold against the article), no plagiarism; QPQ done. All hooks check out. ALT1, which I would scrap; I personally prefer ALT2. Please note however that the original hook exceeds 200 characters, and ALT1 gets almost there. This is because they are both a bit wordy. I propose:

ALT3: ... that after Catholic bishop Gaston Marie Jacquier was assassinated in Algiers, Archbishop Duval ordered priests not to wear clerical clothing or display the cross in public?

ALT4: ... that Catholic bishop Gaston Marie Jacquier was assassinated in Algiers by a man with a history of mental illness, although some argue that the killer had a religious motivation? Dahn (talk) 09:22, 26 June 2017 (UTC)

Thanks for checking out the nomination, I like both of those new alternates! Jgefd (talk) 18:52, 26 June 2017 (UTC)

Most welcome. With your permission, I'll strike out the original and ALTs 1--2 and keep the other ALTs to help the editors moving this to the queue. Dahn (talk) 19:15, 26 June 2017 (UTC)
