Jihad Watch

Exposing the role that Islamic jihad theology and ideology play in the modern global conflicts

Video of Australia car attacker: People run for their lives as he screams “Allahu akbar”

Jan 20, 2017 8:42 am By Robert Spencer

You can hear “Allahu akbar” at :34.

Police are trying to suppress a witness account that he said this. Why? The prevailing story is that he was mentally ill. He may indeed be. But being an Islamic jihad murderer and mentally ill are not mutually exclusive propositions. Or he may be, in his mental illness, imitating the behavior of those whom he sees as strong and fearsome. In any case, the police attempt to suppress evidence is troubling.

    That’s what Islam in the modern world looks like: a moslem driven mad by his death cult driving around in circles screaming Allah Akhbar and trying to kill non-moslems. A powerful image that sums things up.

      A Muslim who truly believes the 164 jihad verses in the Koran is called ‘MAD’ by our police.

      Western police are actually saying that ISLAM IS A FORM OF MADNESS.

      agree.. At this point it does not matter if he was saying snakbar or not, as everyone knows who is doing it. its not the christians

    Every time a Muslim commits an atrocity he is immediately declared mentally ill by the authorities. Are immigrants being screened for mental problems? Probably not. Maybe our political leaders should be checked out for mental stability for forcing this problem on us.

  6. somehistory says

    It seems that many wish this to be *mental illness* as opposed to recognizing that even terrorists can seem *mental* when carrying out their murders. On another thread, the argument is made by some that he was Greek. That does not disqualify him from being moslim.
    Some have said the stabbing before was not terror because he stabbed his own brother…which does not exclude the action from being terrorism. Family violence happens a lot with moslims as they have no respect for the rights of even family members to have or voice their own views or choices. And when they are on their war footing, having no self-control is a part of their demeanor.
    The fact that he forced someone…on threat of violence…to allow him to use their car does not disqualify this action with the car as moslim violence. If he wanted to plow into people and kill with a vehicle, and did not own a car, he felt justified in forcing someone to give one to him. Theft is not disallowed by islam.

    So many of these events are by individuals who *suddenly* went over the edge or had mental problems and, therefore, it cannot be islam warfare and terrorism. This is sheer stupidity to think this is the case. Nothing about islam is *sane* in the sense of one acting rationally, or reasonably or with common decency and regard for others.
    But to foist it off on the *excuse* that he was mentally ill, does a huge disservice to those people who are mentally ill but not moslim terrorists and don’t commit murder in the name and for the advancement of islam.

    And then, there are those saying methamphetamine was his problem. Perhaps he was a meth user. That does not disqualify this from a terror attack on innocent persons. Many terror groups, and moslim in general, make a lot of money in the drug trade; growing, selling, and nothing in islam prohibits the use.

    He evidently is a weak person and wanted to feel the power of terrorism over others.

    • overman says

      Yes somehistory, the drug problem will fit in with the ‘islamaphobia’ excuse. As you say, this won’t detract one bit from their loyalty to islam. ln fact it probably fuels it [many muslims in sweden are using and sellings drugs].
      There have been a few jihadi’s lately who were drinking alcohol. That’s why they carry out Jihad – it wipes the slate clean.

    There are probably contributors from a multitude of places on this board. What’s in common are reports on these migrating lunatics to which politicians in the various governments have offered sanctuary in their peaceful.and law-abiding countries. So much for all those bleeding heart politicians, most of which are quite secure from these lunatics. Next item in common is they all are lunatics who are advised by what their koran tells them and we, wherever we are, are burdened with their migrant lunacy. More than patience is required, because governments are exposing all of us to their shallow theories.
    The fact that the loonies are also homicidal is a “side issue” that will merely evaporate if the authorities deny and suppress the murderous acts of the migrant lunatics…and often their offspring if they’ve been in country long enough to reproduce.
    They, the problem we’ve all come to know about, are unfit for habitation in our climes, that small issue was overlooked by the bleeding heart politicians, the same guys who set the taxes upon the productive to pay the keep of these lunatics of the koran. They really needed to stay where they were, but while the “bleeding hearts” seek to rebuild the fragmented Islamic nations from which the lunatics come from, they are sent among us where they can do their worst, and the assignment of sorting them out is dropped on us, whichever country we live in.
    In the “States,” we have replaced the Commie/One World government and have elected Donald Trump. He takes the oath of the presidency today. We think he will deal with the results of Islamic sympathizer Obama (Thank God!)
    We expect that our borders will be tightened and more secure, conservatism in government will revive national sovereignty, and Trump, a successful businessman, has established a team which will have the miserable, time consuming, job of rectifying what Obama wrecked.
    Keep an eye on USA, perhaps the immediate future here will shine positively where you contributors live too, if not in the USA. Keep faith, there is much to reckon with.

    Even if he is not Muslim hemay have acted by mimetism, as an spontaneos verwolf, to gain publicity, but in any case serving the aims of ISIS , in which case the attack can be reasonably qualified as terrorisst jihadist.

    • John C. Barile says

      He claims to belong to the “Cult of Angels,” Yasdani in Kurdish. This is based on his social media postings that are now circulating on the internet.

    No, can’t hear it … and its not the same as the eye witness.
    Gonna need something a bit more substantial.

      Jan 20, 2017 at 11:34 am

      Indeed. You can’t hear it. Not enough proof unfortunately. Not denying he did should it, but wish there were some undeniable evidence.

    • Efoc says

      Jan 20, 2017 at 5:03 pm

      Yes. Can’t hear it either. Need extra evidence for now.

    The authorities and the media want the Australians to welcome their replacements with open arms, and telling them that the new arrivals want to kill them would interfere with that.

    Perhaps it’s connected to the huge outrage a few days ago in melbourne about an Australia Day billboard with two muslimas on it and no-one else [of course, it’s always isis-fueled as will probably become clear in the next few days]. Affairs Minister Robin Scott was the asshole responsible for displaying it. Melburnians were not happy, and it was pulled down. Kenn Daily explains in the video:

    This is a lefty news report and biased toward ‘lslamophobia’:

    “MEMBERS of far right social media groups are celebrating a win for “people power” after an Australia Day billboard depicting two Muslim women was hastily pulled following an Islamophobia-fuelled outcry.
    Social media erupted after a picture of the billboard began circulating last Friday, with many Facebook users slamming the Melbourne freeway advertisement as “un-Australian”.
    On Tuesday, Victorian Multicultural Affairs Minister Robin Scott revealed the image would be removed, after the company behind the ad, QMS, received threats.
    But he warned the issuers of the threats not to take the action as a win.
    “Anyone who considers this a victory needs a refresher on the true meaning of Australia Day,” Mr Scott said”

    Mentally ill ?? Of course he is. Just another Muslim infected with Islamo- rabies. Should have been put down, like any other mad dog.

    Here’s a close-up of the car. Some guy went for him with a baseball bat.
    Watch the guy in blue who seems to be cheering in support of the jihadi and directing him.

      Idiot woman aside, I do find it heartening that the Aussies in the crowds do not seem willing to just lay down and be used as ramming fodder for the loon, but rather seem to be actively standing up to him.

  16. davej says

    Jan 20, 2017 at 12:33 pm

    People who are mentally ill and/or drugged out to the point of violence to strangers often feel drawn to the only ideology in the world that endorses such actions and that uses the same tactics.

    So, even if indirectly, this is another Islamic inspired terror attack.

    I lived in Melbourne and i know that place, walked there many times – it is a centre, and Flinders Street Station is a main station in Melbourne and a pub across is the oldest in Melbourne. Melbourne and Sydney are flooded by muslim legal “migrants”, who came by boats (illigal) or airplanes (legal), demand welfare like everywhere else at the gate, council houses, all sort of benefits.

  18. overman says

    Jan 20, 2017 at 1:27 pm

    Apparently, on his FB page he describes himself as:

    ” An insight into his disturbed state of mind has been granted via recent posts on his Facebook page, which claim he was not Greek Tongan, but rather: ‘Greek islamic kurdish ANGEL OF CULT'” [Cult of Angels].

  19. Rod says

    Go to Google Earth street view and look at the huge poster hanging on the facade of St. Paul’s Cathedral, at that same crossing.
    It explains a lot.

    On this page: http://www.theage.com.au/victoria/bourke-street-mall-driver-identified-as-james-jimmy-gargasoulas-20170120-gtvs2m.html is an interview of an old man whose car was used in the rampage, an excerpt from the page: “he came into his flat with a Bible, sat down and started burning it before throwing the burning book into his face”.

    Notice that almost every time one of these Mohammedans attacks a Western nation they say he is mentally ill. Got me to thinking that they are building on that to eventually have all religion declared a
    mental illness, so that is why they need these Mohammedans, to work towards that goal. Then replace all religion with the cult of state.
