Turkey: Knife-wielding Muslim screaming “Allahu akbar” attacks Israeli embassy, authorities say he is “mentally unstable”

Sep 21, 2016 11:13 am By Robert Spencer

Of course he is mentally unstable. Why else would a Muslim screaming “Allahu akbar” want to attack the Israeli embassy? It couldn’t possibly have anything to do with the Qur’an’s designation of the Jews as the worst enemies of the Muslims (5:82), now, could it?

“‘Allah Akhbar’ Attacker Strikes Israel Embassy in Turkey — Staff Safe,” Reuters, September 21, 2016:

A suspected assailant was shot and wounded near the Israeli embassy in the Turkish capital Ankara on Wednesday, an Israeli Foreign Ministry spokesman and Turkish police said.

“The staff is safe. The attacker was wounded before he reached the embassy,” the spokesman said in a text message. “The assailant was shot and wounded by a local security man.”

Broadcaster CNN Turk said the suspect, whom it described as mentally unstable, had attempted a knife attack.

Turkish police told Reuters the assailant shouted “Allahu akbar,” or “God is Greatest,” outside the embassy before he was shot in the leg….

The assailant was apprehended at the outer perimeter of the secured zone around the embassy, the Israeli spokesman said….

It was not immediately clear if there was a second would-be assailant, but Turkish media reports had initially suggested that there had been two attackers….

    ”Turkish police told Reuters the assailant shouted “Allahu akbar,” or “God is Greatest,” outside the embassy before he was shot in the leg….”

    ‘Allahu akbar’ doesn’t mean ”God is greatest”. It means **’allah’** is **greater**. ie: the mohammedan ‘allah’ is **greater** than any other God, and they’re certainly not referring to the Christian God.They’re still trying their damndest to obfuscate. And no journalist seems to have the integrity to actually research what it really means, and its implications.

      Yeah, seems the MSM rarely, if ever, get that right. Can’t risk the riff-raff putting 2 and 2 together, can they?

    • Westman says

      Sep 21, 2016 at 12:53 pm

      Look how far the MSM has come. In the past it was sold to us as, “God is great”. Now, 15 years later, it’s “God is greater”; which causes the question, “greater than what?”.

      In fact, Reuters seems to have listened to Robert Spencer when he wrote: “..when jihadis use the phrase, they mean to emphasize the superiority of Islam and its god – hence it would be more precise to leave the word untranslated and render the phrase “Allah is greater” in English.”

    I may get flamed for saying this, but this guy has some significant mental problems. Israeli diplomatic facilities are very well defended–for obvious reasons. This information is very well known, although the exact nature of the security measures may not be. Attacking the Embassy of Israel *with a knife* is the mohammedan equivalent of “suicide by cop”. Of course, after excessive contemplation of the holy texts, he must have thought that by doing so he would soon be frolicking with the promised 72 houris.

    Sadly for him, he was only wounded, so he will have to wait–probably not long– for Erdogan to pardon him for his next chance to ascend to Paradise.

      I don’t think this guy has any more “mental problems” than does any other Jihadist. He is just a poorer strategist than some, that’s all.

    Something about kaffirs triggers the mentally ill. Very common symptom. In fact, the only symptom (we saw the guy in NYC who killed an imam, but never heard about his nental illness, or the guy in Chapel Hill who obviously had ≥ 1 screw/s loose).

      This is why Muslims do not belong in the western world.

      They really do need to be isolated, among their own kind, because they cannot behave like civilized human beings.

      Really.

      If they were all in a nation like Syria or Saudi Arabia, walled-in, the world would not be having the problems it has.

    QUOTE: Turkish ‘authorities say he is “mentally unstable”.

    False prophet Mohammed committed a terrorist act every six weeks in the last nine years of his life. Why is it wrong for a Muslims to imitate Mohammed…’the perfect man’?

    If those who imitate Mohammed are “mentally unstable”, does that mean that Mohammed himself was “mentally unstable”??

    • abad says

      Sep 21, 2016 at 7:37 pm

      Yes.

    Here are some references that will help you understand it:

    Qur’an 5:82–‘Thou wilt find the most vehement of mankind in hostility to those who believe (to be) the Jews and the idolaters’

    In Saheeh Muslim (2922), it is narrated from the hadith of Abu Hurayrah that the Messenger of Allah said: “The Hour will not begin until the Muslims fight the Jews and the Muslims will kill them, until a Jew hides behind a rock or a tree, and the rock or tree will say: O Muslim, O slave of Allaah, there is a Jew behind me, come and kill him. Except the gharqad (a thorny tree), for it is one of the trees of the Jews.”
