“Some witnesses said he shouted ‘Allahu akbar’ (‘God is great’ in Arabic) but the motive for the attack is unclear.”
A group of Japanese men flying airplanes bombed Pearl Harbor today. Some witnesses say that their planes bore the markings of the Japanese empire, but the motive for the attack is unclear.
Also, “Allahu akbar” is not “God is great” in Arabic. It means “Allah is greater,” i.e., greater than your god.
“Germany knife attacker kills man at Grafing station,” BBC, May 10, 2016:
One man has been killed and three others wounded by a knife-wielding man near Munich, with police investigating a possible Islamist connection.
The man attacked four commuters shortly before 05:00 (03:00 GMT) on Tuesday at Grafing station. One of the victims died of his wounds in hospital.
A 27-year-old German man was eventually overpowered by police and arrested.
Some witnesses said he shouted “Allahu akbar” (“God is great” in Arabic) but the motive for the attack is unclear.
The suspect has been identified as a 27-year-old German national, apparently from the Hessen area of central Germany.
An Upper Bavaria police spokesperson said that a “political motive” had certainly not been ruled out.
Police spokesman Karl-Heinz Segerer told German television that the man “expressed political motivations” during the attack. He gave no details, saying it was a matter for the investigation.
Bavarian Interior Minister Joachim Herrmann said it was a terrible attack and that a second victim had suffered life-threatening injuries.
He said that as well as a possible Islamist motive, police were trying to determine if the man had drug-related or psychiatric problems….
Of course. Psychiatric problems. That’s it. A global outbreak of madness, affecting millions.

Mental health issues are being touted, of course they are, the moment i heard he had uttered the battle cry that was my immediate thought.
Jaladhi says
The elephant is in the room and you are denying he is there!! How dumb can you get??/
How desperately BBC tries to portray this murderer as Islamist as if Islamists are not Muslims and are followers of some other religion. Don’t these morons know that Islamists follow the Islam laid out by Mohammad and practiced by him. He was also shouting allahu akbar while raping and murdering non-Muslims!!
Shane says
BBC is a left wing network like almost all the news networks in the West. They are all on the side of the Islamists and against Christians.
Bob says
Agreed – ‘Auntie BBC’ is far from being the impartial news-source that she once was…all ‘left-wing-lovey’ now, & not to be trusted.
Georg says
In fact the usual suspects mention across websites there “may” have been a political motivation. We’re down, down into the rabbit hole How much do you want to bet they were meddling with trying to portray this as a false-flag right-winger attempt at maligning the hapless ROP a la Brevik?

Islamic prayer in public is every Muslim’s attempted rape of human decency.
(Allahu Akbar) is nothing but a Muslim’s shameless alibi.
Angemon says
Public TV in my neck of the woods mentioned the “allahu akbar” shouting and ended the segment by saying that last year the islamic state called on muslims to wage “lone wolf” attacks with cars and knives. Cable TV stations, including the “tabloid” channel, on the other hand…
DFD says
Angemon, Hi,
you say: “…on the other hand…”
I believe you are referring to his ‘psychiatric problems’. Must be so, after all, Islam causes severe psychiatric problems. No?
Correct me if I am wrong.
Angemon says
Yeah, that’s the part the cable channels stressed out – that the perp had “mental disorders” and was not a “Syrian” “refugee”.
Michael Copeland says
It’s another component in the post-attack script now:
“He expressed political motivations but it is too early to say what they were”.
We heard it before from the chief of police in Canada.
Georg says
“political motivation” = grievances = legitimizing the jihad = faulting the stabees
WorkingClassPost says
This BBC appeasement is staggering.
They keep the story off air, but knowing that it’s all over the Internet, they make a token, conciliatory reference, which is worse than saying nothing because it’s designed to mislead.
Don’t they know how discredited they are?
Everyone and their dog knows that Ali Waki Baki = ‘islam wants to kill you’.
mortimer says
Are the BBC executives and editors bribed with Gulf oil money?
Jay Boo says
Money is the least of the issue.
It is more about appearances.
Georg says
“Don’t they know how discredited they are?”
Every so often they open up comments and get dressed down to the rotten core. Such a disgrace.
mortimer says
15% of all Muslims worldwide self-declare as approving terrorist groups including ISIS. This means as many as 250 million Muslims approve of terrorism. Are they all ‘insane’? Not likely.
They are idealize Islam as ‘perfect’ and therefore beyond criticism. Up to two-thirds of Muslims want a caliphate and strict Sharia law…a situation similar to that of ISIS. Are they ‘insane’?
All Muslims believe the ‘master religion theory’. Are they ‘insane’?
The only difference between terrorists and ordinary Muslims is their level of commitment to the doctrine of jihad.
shosh7154 says
If you hear at your door allah hu akhbar (god is GREATER) you better prepare to kill them with whatever weapon you have, because that is the only way you will get out of this incident alive.
linnte says
Heaven forbid that this guy did this because he is a Muslim! Didn’t London just elect a Muslim as Mayor? Ugh ooooh! So, now, every time a Muslim does Jihad in the way of Allah, it will be a mental illness because Londons Mayor can’t be offended.
Georg says
Brilliant posting the pathological and concerted spread of this meme across media (medium?) network(s). Wow, do they take us for dolts.
JMB says
I heard this story on ABC News Radio in my car late last night, Eastern Australian time. The news report stressed that the perpetrator was a German National. I instinctively knew that there had to be more to the story, thank you Jihad Watch.

“Also, “Allahu akbar” is not “God is great” in Arabic. It means “Allah is greater,” i.e., greater than your god.”
Why did then Christopher Hitches label his book “God is not Great” a play on God is Great(“Allahu akbar”)
and not “God is not Greatest.”

Review by Jim Walker
“Saddam Hussein had decked out his whole rule–which was based in any case on tribal minority of the Sunni minority–as one of piety and jihad. . . . Saddam had inscribed the words “Allahuh Akhbar”–“God Is Great”–on the Iraqi flag. He had sponsored a huge international conference of holy warriors and mullahs, and maintained very warm relations with their other chief state sponsor in the region, namely the genocidal government of Sudan. He had built the largest mosque in the region, and named it the “mother of All Battles” mosque, complete with a Koran written in blood that he claimed to be his own. When launching his own genocidal campaign against the (mainly Sunni) people of Kurdistan–a campaign that involved the thoroughgoing use of chemical atrocity weapons and the murder and deportation of hundreds of thousands of people–he had called it “Operation Anfal,” borrowing by this term a Koranic justification–“The Spoils” of sura 8–for the despoilment and destruction of nonbelievers.”
“The media teaches that Saddam Hussein’s regime was secular in nature, but Hitchens reports that Saddam enjoyed a long relationship with Islam’s mullahs, that he inscribed the worlds “Allahuh Akhbar” “God Is Great” on the Iraqi flag, and sponsored holy warriors, built mosques, and murdered thousands of people in his “Operation Anffal” borrowing a term from the Koran.”

German media also said he is mentally ill and receives welfare ( ! ) – suddenly they say his name is Paul K. and he is NOT a muslim …. hmmmmm
Rob says
Cologne police have been told by the administration not to treat digital penetration as ‘rape’.
Should we ask Merkel to undergo digital ‘non-rape’ and then give us a definition of what is?
Rob says
The BBC has been peeing itself with joy announcing that Trump is backing away from the Muslim ban.
How a bloody autocue reader like Adnan Nawaz can be given the licence to editorialise on this or any other subject is beyound me.
Other announcers like the excellent Ben Bland don’t attempt it.
