Muslim shouting "Allahu akbar" tries to grab Olympic torch

Calm down. He just wanted to light his cigarette, you greasy Islamophobe. Islamic supremacist intimidation at the Olympic opening ceremony: "Teenager shouts 'Allahu Akbar' as he tries to grab Olympic flame from torch bearer's hands as police bundle runner to safety," from the Daily Mail, July 20 (thanks to David):

A 17-year-old shouted 'Allahu Akbar' - Arabic for 'God is Great' - as he unsuccessfully tried to grab the Olympic torch during a stretch of the flame's route through Maidstone towards Redhill.

Broadcast live on the BBC, the youth lunged from the crowd to try to take the torch from the hands of its bearer Anna Skora, but was swiftly bundled away by officers.

In one video posted to YouTube he can be seen waiting behind a car and as Ms Skora gets closer he lunges towards the torch.

Ms Skora was about to hand over the torch to Graham White, a Surrey charity worker, when the teenager burst out of the crowd and tried to grab it.

He managed to get through the line of police officers escorting the torch as it headed through the town.

One of the officers at the back of the group swiftly grabbed hold of Ms Skora and the torch, guiding them to the opposite side of the road....

The BBC wouldn't broadcast stuff like that, but when it's live, they can't really stop it!

Where the hell were the snipers? He should have never been allowed to get so close * especially* not screaming "allahu ackbar". He could have had a bomb.

"A 17-year-old shouted 'Allahu Akbar' - Arabic for 'God is Great'"--Daily Mail

For the thousandth time, it means God is greater/greatest.

akbar = greater, greatest
kabir = great

Not that the media will ever correct their mistranslation which, perhaps not coincidentally, softens the translation and removes its explicitly supremacist meaning (which is indeed the intent of the declaration).

"Bundled" away? WTF.

Shoulda been "dragged away bloody and unconscious..." to teach these barbarians a lesson about polite public conduct.

This is pretty freaking hilarious to me, even funnier because this mooslime was serious.

Just imagine if this happened at the flame lighting ceremony, where they use the torch to light a larger flame on a podium.

Of course these types of muslims are still very despicable people but this cracked me up.

The poppy-burning on Remembrance day though I didn't find funny at all. They deserved to have a JDAM (bomb) dropped on their heads-too bad the UK has no spine. There should be no tolerance for such vile and seditious behavior.

Given the reasonable fear that such sudden lurching behaviors by Muslims can trigger deadly explosions or a frenzy of murderous stabbing, a sniper would be entirely appropriate in a free society which still has the sense to protect its freedom.

P.S.: Of course, such an extreme measure (and 1,001 other extreme measures, costing our societies enormous sums of money, time, effort and anxiety) would be largely eliminated, were our free socieities to develop the greater sense leading to the total deportation of all Muslims (a project which, naturally, may have flaws, as all human enterprises do, but which would be infinitely preferrable to any other way of handling the metastasizing problem of modern Islamic revivalism with its increasing aggrandizement throughout the West).

'Allah is great'
The newspaper headline itself says: Allah is great. Keep it like that.
There is no need to translate it into God.

Muslim shouting "Allahu akbar" tries to grab Olympic torch
......................................

And this is just the opening salvo.

How many plots against the London Olympics have been foiled already?

I remember before the horror of the Jihad attack on the Munich Olympics in 1972 when I was a kid that several pundits had reported official fears that some wag would compromise the dignity of the Olympics by "streaking" during the opening ceremonies.

Those days seem laughably innocent now.

These days, we will be holding our breath hoping that there will be no Jihad terror attack as much as we will be watching the spectacle and athletic records broken.

God, I hate Islam.

That's it. I can't take it anymore. Okay, I'm an Islamophobe. I admit it. Islam totally sucks. I hate it. I fear its creeping advance in society and the violation of human rights that it causes. But I'm not greasy. In fact, I hold that cleanliness is next to godliness. I bathe daily and use soap. Lots of us Islamophobes do. On behalf of all non-greasy Islamophobes everywhere, I most vehemently protest the repeated and denigrating use of the term "greasy Islamophobes" on this web site. It may be true that some of my unwashed brothers and sisters who share my concerns have earned the title "greasy" due to less than acceptable standards of personal hygiene; but the truth is that the vast majority of us Islamophobes are decidely and demonstrably not greasy. Please, we beg you for the sake of decency, stop insulting us. Acknowledge that most Islamophobes are just regular people who know how to keep themselves clean.

Skim through this BBC account of the incident and see if you can find anything that is missing:

http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-18902961

In Arabic Allah = God. Akbar = Greater/Greatest. Allahu = My/Our so what he is saying is really "My God is greater/My Allah is greater" as a method to challenge and show his dominance.

He didn't manage to snatch the torch in the name of Islam?

Never mind all is not lost. The boot-licking, sycophantic, servile west just handed it over peacefully with a curtsey and bow.

"After Royal Marine Martin Williams abseiled with the flame into the Tower of London, Dame Kelly Holmes - who won the 800m and 1500m gold medals in the Athens 2004 Olympic Games - became the capital's first torchbearer as she carried the flame on to the ramparts of the Tower.

She handed the flame to Abul Kasam, 30, who was selected as a torchbearer for his voluntary work in the borough of Tower Hamlets, and who carried the flame into a reception for invited guests at the Jewel House.
----

"who was selected as a torchbearer for his voluntary work in the borough of Tower Hamlets"

Of course in all of the UK they could only find a Muslim who did "voluntary work", distributing free meals to Jihadists no doubt.

Yes that surely deserved been handed the torch to.

Good grief.

Here we have a double Olympic gold medal winner—and some Muslim guy who volunteered at a housing project. Does anyone else see a disconnect here?

Here's more on Abul Kasam:

http://tsu-doh-nimh.blogspot.com/2012/03/kasam-is-unveiled-as-tower-hamlets.html

Are we sure he was after the torch, and not the torch-bearer? She was surely wearing just a runner's outfit; in other words, she was "uncovered meat."

The Allahu-akbaring Grabber = Fast Jihadist.

Abdul Kasam, of Tower Hamlets = Slow Jihadist.

Hmm the Bloviating Bigots Channel could not hear the Allyoops snackbar?? so of course they could not write MUSLIM and had to got with "youth" you-phemism. Not even the Asian youphemism this time.

Oh and that's not all : the Bloviating Bigots webpage on Olympics names a country called Palestine whose capital is E Jerusalem yup and guess what? Israel has NO CAPITAL- how does GAZA even get into the Olympics as a country? did they declare statehood? nope no such place exists except in the mind of these wishful thinkers- Brits who wish Israel was gone and Jews in the sea-

I fully expected some "hijinks" at the Olympics- here it is day one and so far yup- trouble.

In a way I am not so sorry though for the Brits- they have volunteered as dhimmi and now they must live as dhimmi in their own nation, they very thing they wished for Israelis when they granted and rescinded the deal for the land - gave 77% to Jordan and thought they could get out of trouble by arming the arabs and let them do the dirty work of getting rid of the Jews and to let the Jews who remained live as sdhimmi in Fakestine.

Happy Ramadan, yeah

Mark Steyn said "Allahu Akbar" is Arabic for 'nothing to see here, keep moving.'

I've never understood why any city wants to host an Olympics. It's always been a colossal expense, with years of disruption as the facilities are built. And nowadays, thank to Islam, there's the added prospect of terrorism, with all the additinal expense to contain it.
All so the hotels get to fill their rooms at top rate for a few weeks.

Following your Link

For the olympic torch he has trimmed his beard a bit but I saw his earlier photos, he wears a full beard and cap, looks like a terrorist.

"Kasam has been involved in charity work for many years: from doing bucket collections on Whitechapel Road, to climbing up mountains for charity. He is also a School Governor at Kobi Nazrul Primary School. "


"School Governor at Kobi Nazrul Primary School." Hmm is that a Madrassa? Of all the minorities they picked for the final lap they had to pick a Muslim.

London is lockdown martial law mode, with missiles, army and police deployed, but the word Muslim or Islam cannot be mentioned. Who on earth are they guarding against then? The Salvation Army?

No problem, dumble. Most Muslims are inept, so we needn't worry overmuch.

Why hand it to him? Why not just shove it up his ass allowing him to cram more explosives up there too?

You can't make this shit up.

Just read through some of the most rated DM comments page - I think either UK guys gone completly dhimmi or the Muslims have a truck lode of rented crowed ticking "Ups" to pro-Islamic comments, such as
"
What an embarrassment to the Muslim community. What was that guy on about? He's just trying to give more muslim people a bad name like they are all terrorists who oppose the Olympics.

"What an embarrassment to the Muslim community. What was that guy on about? He's just trying to give more muslim people a bad name like they are all terrorists who oppose the Olympics. "

If my memory serves me right - in 1972 (?) Olympics in Muenchen, it was a bunch of Islamic terrorists that killed innocent Israeli athletes - the killers were all Muslims. Since that time, the added security in any major crowed-pull event is due to the terror of Muslims. Except that misguided Eric Robert Rudolph (he was one non-Muslim terrorists) bombing on July 27, 1996 in Atlanta, Georgia, all the potential attacks everyone tries to thaw are from Muslims terrorists are they not?

"Allahu akbar" is such a versatile statement! It can be used in beheading your enemies, other killings in the name of Allah & even attempting to snatch the Olympic torch.

That idiot from Auckland has now got 606 thumbs ups. Makes sense doesnt it what he said. The guy and his followers must have really high IQ's

"What an embarrassment to the Muslim community. What was that guy on about? He's just trying to give more muslim people a bad name like they are all terrorists who oppose the Olympics."

A guy rushes in shouting Allahu Akbar and "He's just trying to give more muslim people a bad name" - in other words he's not a Muslim but probably a Christian or Hindu Bigot shouting Allahu Akbar and snatching the torch, trying to give the poor Muslims a bad rap - how very logical.

These poor Muslims so very unfairly maligned. Ones heart weeps for them.

Hmm. I think I'll go along and add my mite: one little click Thumbs Up to every Islamosavvy comment.

The funny side of these incidents has been lost on me for quite a while now. In Islam, an Olympic torchbearer has to be thought of as an infidel polytheist. (mushrik) This whole issue revolves around Muslims wanting to erase all beacons of infidel "immorality" from Western societies. Which makes these guys in fact enforcers of Islamic puritanism (in Dar al Harb in this case), analogous to the Saudi Mutaween (religious police) or the modesty enforcers of Iran. (Dar al Islam)

Which tells us exactly what's going on in these guys' minds. They're trying to instate Islamic uniformity in Dar al Harb to turn it gradually into Dar al Islam. This whole attitude has been furthered a great deal by our governments' self defeating dhimwit stance on PC MC. That's what we're looking at, here. That's where they got the idea from in the first place. Far from hilarious, I'd say.

'Kobi Nazrul' means 'the poet Nazrul' in Bengali, a reference to Nazrul Islam, the national poet of Bangladesh. In many ways he summed up what the then West Pakistanis meant when they described the Bengalis as 'bad Muslims'- their Islam contaminated with Hinduism, back in 1971 - he not only wrote hymns to Hindu deities as well as to allah but actually played the role of Krishna in a pre-WWII film!Things have tightened up since then and there have been suggestions that his complete works be re-published minus offending material.

I can hear it now. He will claim that all he wanted to do was to carry the torch in celebration of the Olympics. After all, he only wanted to be part of the festivities! He will also claim that because muslims are "left out", he was forced to do what he did.

A sign of worse to come?

Definitely. The "Increasing Attacks on Christianity in Europe" thread on JW substantiates the point I am making: Muslims are already acting as if they live in Dar al Islam. What's going to stop them ? Not our politicians, in any case.

How long before some Muslim spokesmen (or worse yet, some useful idiots in Western media) try to draw a parallel between this Muslim and the black medal-winners of the 1968 Olympics who famously extended their arms in the Black Power salute during their award ceremony?

After all, Muslims have twice used the Rosa Parks comparison to paint Muslims as merely a "minority" beleaguered by "discrimination" based in lurking "bigotry", seeking their fair share; as did also the useful idiot Contessa Brewer of MSNBC.

If there is not a devastating islamic terror attack in London during the Olympics it will shock the hell out of me. I don't think it is possible to stop the muslim lunatics; there are too many of them and they are brazen savages. I hope I'm wrong but there aren't enough security personnel on the planet to stop determined muslim jihadists during Ramadan, and London is crawling with the filthy creatures.

No surprise there, Rich.

Well, they don't appear to be a full Madrassa—but on their web site, you can read in English, or listen in Somali, Bengali, or Urdu. In other words, most of their students are Muslims—and moreover, Muslims whose parents haven't bothered to learn English.

When I checked just now, Blue Raven, this moron was up to *1313* clicks up. I brought him down one click, but that hardly makes a dent. Foolish dhimmi, and the foolish dhimmis who imagine this to be a savvy comment.

Do you know why they are not revealing the name of the teenager who tried to grab the torch?
Because he is not a Muslim. :)
