Netherlands: Muslim screaming “Allahu akbar” and brandishing a knife runs at police, terrifies shoppers

Aug 11, 2016 3:19 pm By Robert Spencer

“About every person on the planet is shouting ‘Allah Akbar’ nowadays.” And this is just the beginning.

Gemeente Spijkenisse

“Police shoot and arrest knifeman screaming ‘Allah Akbar’ at shoppers in Dutch town,” by Patrick Lion, Mailonline, 10 August 2016 (thanks to Pamela Geller):

Police officers were forced to shoot down a knife wielding man who terrified shoppers with shouts of ‘Allah Akbar.’

The incident took place on Tuesday afternoon in Spijkenisse, a commuter-town close to the city of Rotterdam in the west of the Netherlands.

The police spotted a local man, 35, close to the central metro station of Spijkenisse who made wild movements with a butcher’s knife.

Police closed off the crime scene after shooting the knife-wielding man. He was now in hospital and was still responsive after being shot

Shoppers and commuters were especially worried by shouts of ‘Allah Akbar’.

A police officer was forced to shoot down the man when he came storming towards them with the knife.

According to a police spokesman, the knife wielding man was still responsive after he was shot in his leg, and was taken to a hospital.

No other people were injured in the incident.

It is not yet known why the man, a 35-year-old citizen of Spijkenisse, wielded a knife or shouted ‘Allah Akbar’.

According to the police, the man looked confused.

Multiple eye-witnesses heard the shouts of ‘Allah Akbar’, although some who watched the scenes unfold were not impressed.

One eye-witness said: ‘About every person on the planet is shouting ‘Allah Akbar’ nowadays.’

The man heard from a group of girls that the suspect also dropped his pants in front of them before making a scene with the butcher’s knife.

    It goes on and on and on yet the media will say “mental illness”.

      Well, Islam is indeed a Mental Illness.

      But it will be quite some time before the APA includes Islam in their list of mental illnesses.

      The media
      “There is no such thing, at this date of the world’s history, in America, as an independent press. You know it and I know it. There is not one of you who dares to write your honest opinions, and if you did, you know beforehand that it would never appear in print. I am paid weekly for keeping my honest opinion out of the paper I am connected with. Others of you are paid similar salaries for similar things, and any of you who would be so foolish as to write honest opinions would be out on the streets looking for another job. If I allowed my honest opinions to appear in one issue of my paper, before twenty-four hours my occupation would be gone.

      The business of the journalist is to destroy the truth, to lie outright, to pervert, to vilify, to fawn at the feet of mammon, and to sell his country and his race for his daily bread. You know it and I know it, and what folly is this toasting an independent press?

      We are the tools and vessels of rich men behind the scenes. We are the jumping jacks, they pull the strings and we dance. Our talents, our possibilities and our lives are all the property of other men. We are intellectual prostitutes.”

      John Swinton

        That was 1880 and things in the MSM sure haven’t changed.
        I will step out on a limb and say that the MSM along with the leaders of the world powers are the ones who have led (DROVE) us to the place we are at today. The do called LEADERS have allowed the influx of Muslims into our countries and the MSM has not reported what this has done to our countries.
        The JW Posters and readers are smart enough so that I don’t have to expound
        on this statement any further

      It’s no laughing matter, but I must admit to a giggle at the start of this sentence. God help us.
      Our authorities are no help.

      ‘Some were not impressed.’ I don’t blame them — this obviously was just a deranged Dutchman who decided he needed to air out his privates and pretend to scare people.

      You idiots better START bring impressed. Shot him in the leg? The Dutch cops need to take target practice.

      • Afrostreewise says

        Aug 13, 2016 at 1:01 am

        It might turn out that they are very good marksmen. You see; if they were bad shot they may have ended shooting him on the chest and face the hue and cry of Islamophobia advocates.

  3. Walter Sieruk says

    Those who murder police officers are blatant villains. The Bible teaches that a murderer “will not inherit the kingdom of God. “ Galatians 5:21. Furthermore, in the Bible in Romans 13: 1, 2 it is written “Let every soul be subject to the governing authorities. For there is no authority except from God, and the authorities that exist are appointed by God. Therefore, whoever resists the authority resist resists the ordinance of God, and those who resist will bring judgment on themselves.” [N.K.J.V.] In addition to all this, in verses 3 and 4 in this same chapter of the Epistle of Romans, with emphasis on verse 4 it actually refers to governmental law enforcement officers as a type of “ministers of God” Therefore, it stand to reason that threatening police officers is really threatening ministers of God. How evil, how heinously wicked, how demonic, how monstrous. What and affront to all that is decent, good and right.

      Seeing as the threat we are facing is religiously motivated, the last thing we need is to analyse this threat based on doctrines from another religion.

    It has to be workplace violence or mental defect.

    The only important part is to make sure it’s not Islam that gets the blame.

    USA and Europe must keep importing Muslims to keep Hillary and Obama happy.

    There have to be a few actually peaceful Muslims in there somewhere…

    Damn.

    • dumbledoresarmy says

      Aug 11, 2016 at 7:01 pm

      Yep. Damn!

      Looking on the bright side, though: how usual is it for a Dutch cop to feel it necessary to shoot someone?

      Strikes me that, all over the infidel world, our front-line beat policemen, even in places like the Netherlands, just might be starting to realize that when someone starts howling ‘allahu-akbar’ and waving a knife around (or any other weapon) you have to drop them as fast as you can.

      I wouldn’t be surprised if the next time, or the next, an allahu-akbaring thug waving an obvious weapon around, in a public space in the Netherlands, will get shot in the gut, the chest or the head. (Though depending on how the mohammedthug is dressed, a gut or chest shot might be avoided, in case said mohammedthug is ‘wired to explode’; this is why the Israelis sometimes take down such thugs with a head shot, lest a body shot trigger a bomb vest hidden under a jacket or robes or tucked in a backpack).

      Further thought: it is *possible* that the cop shot at the bloke’s legs because of where the guy was standing in relation to other people around, and what sort of ‘field of view’ the cop had.

    Netherlands: Muslim screaming “Allahu akbar” and brandishing a knife runs at police, terrifies shoppers
    …………………………….

    This is happening almost daily in Europe now.

    More:

    Multiple eye-witnesses heard the shouts of ‘Allah Akbar’, although some who watched the scenes unfold were not impressed.

    One eye-witness said: ‘About every person on the planet is shouting ‘Allah Akbar’ nowadays.’
    …………………………….

    No–only homicidal Muslims. They scream if right before mass murdering Infidels. That anyone is becoming blasé about this is simply insane.

  8. Beagle says

    Aug 11, 2016 at 6:16 pm

    I have heard European millenials say “Allahu Akbar” when they are about to get blown up in a video game. It’s common knowledge the phrase means something is about to explode or a murder of some kind is in progress.

    • gravenimage says

      Aug 11, 2016 at 7:14 pm

      Yes–even the most “politically correct” know to duck if someone starts yelling “Allahu Akbar!”.

      • Beagle says

        Aug 11, 2016 at 8:57 pm

        Yes. And to be clear, I was not joking. In one case it was a Dutch 20-something gamer. But he is not the only example of the phenomenon of the gamer, non-Muslim to be clear, “Allahu Akbar” I have observed. So I suspect it is fairly common in some circles.

        Moreover, in Europe, after decades of insane immigration policies we are copying in the US, Europeans literally hear that phrase all the time. It’s possible that comment was merely a factual observation of daily life in ‘modern’ Europe.

    To give them credit, the DailyMail permitted Comments.

    90+ at last count (I just went over and had a squiz).

    Majority of posters seem to be on pretty much on the same page as folks here. Note well which comments get the most upclicks, too.

    The man heard from a group of girls that the suspect also dropped his pants in front of them before making a scene with the butcher’s knife.

    Well, there you have it – the filthy infidel girls probably got a good laugh with what he had to offer and that scorn sent him over the hedge.

  11. Wellington says

    Aug 11, 2016 at 8:52 pm

    Just as the most disgusting name for a man in all of history is arguably “Mohammed,” so is it the case that the most disgusting phrase in all of history is arguably “Allahu akbar.”

    Islam, I think, is going for a monopoly here respecting any most disgusting appellation “award.” In fact, the word “Islam” itself qualifies, now doesn’t it?

  12. Johan Elzinga says

    Aug 12, 2016 at 5:23 am

    Hey thanks for the news! It was not in any of the two main Dutch newspapers that I read online every day. I suppose that a man running around with a knife shouting allah u akbar and attacking the police in a big shopping highstreet of our capital has become so common that it has no news value anymore, and it is more important to report about the Dutch swimming team at the Olympics in Rio. I wonder what will happen next!

    Yes they have, I live in the Netherlands and the official reason they give was that the man was confused, he would suffer from heartbreak.

    also in our country they constantly lied to the people, it is never the fault of islam !!

    • Johan Elzinga says

      Aug 13, 2016 at 3:13 am

      We have a lot of confused people here. The only thing that changed so far is that at least we are now informed some of the time that they are from Algeria, Somalia, Tunesia, Marocco, you name it. Even that would have been unthinkable a few years ago. Mr Wilders, the leader of our third biggest political party, still has to stand trial for asking his audience if they wanted to have more or less (influx) from Maroccans in our little country. Of course this was seen as “racism” although I don’t thic that Maroccan is a “race”.

    Weird coincidence. I was just reading at P Geller’s site about an Amsterdam couple being harassed and threatened by their Muslim neighbours. I was going to leave a comment there along the lines of how come aside from a few murders and harassment, you don’t have the kind of jihad terrorism in Holland that you have had in Belgium, France and Germany of late. I thought better of it and clicked onto jihadwatch.org and this is the first article that popped up!

    “It is not yet known why the man, a 35-year-old citizen of Spijkenisse, wielded a knife or shouted ‘Allah Akbar’. The man looked confused.”
    That explains it. He thought he was somewhere else. He was lost. allahu akbar actually means “where the hell am I?” Got it? No threats there.

    Allahu Akbar is an Arabic phrase which translates directly as “Allah is Greater” but is often mistranslated in the media as “God is great”
    Muslims and Arabic speaking Orthodox Christians recite it as an expression of their faith
    The phrase serves as a reminder that no matter the situation or emotion, God is always greater
    It is one of the most commonly used phrases in Islam and has a multitude of meanings
    Uttered during ritualistic prayer where Muslims face the Kaaba in Mecca
    Recited in the call to prayer heard from the minarets of mosques
    It is considered a form of applause and can be spoken in union as a way of showing approval
    Said in times of distress, to express joy, following births or deaths and during Islamic festivals
    When 18-year-old Reshma Begum was pulled alive from rubble, after the Savar building collapse in Bangladesh, rescuers cried “Allahu Akbar” to commemorate the miracle
    Prominent on the flag of Iraq, Iran and Afghanistan
    This peaceful phrase has been warped by Islamic extremists
    Terrorists have shouted it before committing mass murder – linking it to fear and destruction
    Suspected 9/11 hijack ringleader Mohamed Atta wrote in a document found in his luggage: “Shout, ‘Allahu Akbar,’ because this strikes fear in the hearts of the non-believers.”
    Witnesses of the Paris attacks reported hearing several attackers shouting the term
    Allegedly first used as a battle cry during the Battle of Badr by the Prophet Muhammad
    Used during the Iranian revolution in 1979 by protesters
    It was shouted during the Arab Spring by demonstrators
    Was the name of a marching song for the Egyptian Army during the Suez Canal War in 1956
    From 1977 to 2011 it was the national anthem of the Libyan Arab Republic, chosen by Muammar Gaddafi
