Spanish police shoot Muslim screaming “Allahu akbar” holding “suspicious object,” cops say not terror-related

Nov 18, 2017 10:45 am By Robert Spencer

“Sources close to the inquiry said they were not probing it as a terror incident and believed the unidentified man may have been acting under the influence of drugs.”

Of course. Drug-addled people routinely start screaming “Allahu akbar” and threaten border patrol officers with “suspicious objects.”

“BREAKING NEWS: Spanish police shoot ‘Frenchman of north African’ origin’ who sparked a terror alert by shouting ‘Allahu Akbar’ at a border checkpoint with France,” by Gerard Couzens, Daily Mail, November 18, 2017 (thanks to Mick):

Police have shot a man who sparked a terror alert near Spain’s border with France by shouting ‘Allahu Akbar’ at a checkpoint.

Officers opened fire on the man, believed to be a Frenchman of north African origin, after he began to shout in Arabic when the vehicle he was travelling in was intercepted at a motorway toll near La Jonquera on the Spanish side of the border.

He was hit in the leg and rushed to a nearby hospital.

He has undergone an operation at the hospital – the Doctor Josep Trueta University Hospital in Girona – and his life is not said to be in any danger.

Local reports said officers ordered him out of the car he was in after searching the woman driver – and became suspicious after seeing he had a ‘suspicious object’ by his waist.

Civil Guard officers called for reinforcements from regional Mossos d’Esquadra police after he reportedly began shouting in Arabic, yelling the words ‘Allahu Akbar’, before getting back into the vehicle.

He is said to have been shot twice after and slumped to the ground after leaving the car – which had been surrounded by police – some 30 minutes later with an unidentified object in his hand.

He was arrested after managing to return to the vehicle a second time and throwing his clothes out of the window.

An investigation into the incident, which happened just after midnight is now underway.

Sources close to the inquiry said they were not probing it as a terror incident and believed the unidentified man may have been acting under the influence of drugs….

The rest are trembling in their offices all ready to rush out like TERESA MAY & INSTANTLY PARROT : ISLAM IS A RELIGION OF PEACE FOLLOWED BY AMBER RUDD – WHO WILL SING: AND VIOLENCE HAS NOTHING TO DO WITH ISLAM AFTER WHICH – MYRIAM FRANCOIS CERRA & YVONNE RIDLEY & LAUREN BOOTH – WILL SING – ALWAYS LOOK ON THE BRIGHT SIDE OF LIFE !

      That is how it should be.

      It may not decrease the number of “Allahu Akhbar”ers but hey it’s like stepping on a bug doncha know

    So basically NOTHING is terror related. EVER. No matter what the terrorist says or does.

    The process of islamization will continue, despite bombings, killings, rapes and child abuse.

    The question is… WHY is it so important to make Europe muslim?

        I think not, people are becoming more aware., learning double speak, waiting for the name of the individual. Sometimes Joe Smith is different from Mahammed morehamed, with his 3 wives and 10 children, living for free in council house, currently unemployed. This is more than any veteran gets.

        In Spain the Muslim inmigration came from Marocco and Argelia. Subsaharians are quite different, more educated. Magrebi people are mixed with arabs and are supremacist.
        Black African Muslims can be friendly and even have dances. The Magrebies have absolutely nothing to offer, just religious fanaticism. It is the saddest people on the planet.

    Spanish police need target practice. WTH is a French citizen doing at a Spanish border checkpoint, and yelling the Muslim war-cry? In such situations, a shooter needs to go for a body or head shot. That usually quiets Muslims seeking fame “in paradise.”

    • Robeaver. says

      Nov 19, 2017 at 3:55 am

      Yep, nice leg shots. Thru his hands was next, we hope. Do Spanish cops carry salt and vinegar? Wait, the carry a special wound pepper spray.helps with blood poisoning.

    Spain was HAMMERED BY JIHADISTS more than practically any other country in Europe. The south of Spain was ethnically cleansed of Christians and Jews and all churches were destroyed, plundered for stone or changed into mosques. The culture of southern Spain became no different from that of Libya, Tunisia or Morocco of the time. Any dhimmis left in southern Spain were persecuted and starved into submission.

    Have the Spaniards forgot how hard it was to end the ISLAMIC REIGN OF TERROR? Why is Spain allowing the Muslim terror to return? And why are Spaniards pretending that the present TERRORISM is not TERRORISM? This is madness.

      There is an old Book which used to be a favourite with people in the West. They read it every day and it introduced them to one of the Characters within it and thus they formed a friendship with this main Character in it. A point in time came when they thought they could live their lives ok without him, so he left them to live the way they wanted to.
      A big problem arose. It was described in the Book as a ‘strong delusion’ coming over the people. They are unaware of the problem. They don’t see it. Spain doesn’t see it.
      Some have wakened up and do see the problem but don’t know what to do about it. Others still don’t believe a problem exists.
      Until a problem is seen, nothing will change. Only the main character from that old Book can change things. Are we concerned enough to admit we got it wrong? Not yet, I don’t think.

      True, Mortimer. Like so many in the West, most Spaniards have forgotten their history.

      It pretty much is exactly that, you’re right.

      It recommends every sinful practice of man, and encourages every attitude that Christ condemned.

      What a wonderful ‘religion’.

    Spanish police shoot Muslim screaming “Allahu akbar” with “suspicious object,” cops say not terror-related

    “Sources close to the inquiry said they were not probing it as a terror incident and believed the unidentified man may have been acting under the influence of drugs.”

    Of course. Drug-addled people routinely start screaming “Allahu akbar” and threaten border patrol officers with “suspicious objects.”
    …………………………

    Let’s see–do Infidels ever scream “Allahu Akbar!”, under the influence of drugs or not? Nope…

    Equally Islamic, of course, is his attacking Kuffar police.

    Mr Spencer, do you mean that whenever a Muslim recites “Allah Akbar “he wants use violence? what if he is praying, which requires many citations of “Allah Akbar “?If Mr Spencer’s theory of hatred is accepted in west many practicing Muslims are going to lose their freedom of religion.

    • j_not_a says

      Nov 18, 2017 at 6:47 pm

      While the muslim is loudly praying allahu akbar” he is actually praying that as many infidels as possible will die as he carries out his holy act of jihad as his act of “worship” to alla.

  11. Ibrahim itace muhammed says

    Nov 18, 2017 at 4:24 pm

    These deceptions from Mr Spencer are becoming too much .
    you mean whenever a Muslim say “Allah Akbar “it means he wants use violence? what if he is praying, which requires many citations of “Allah Akbar “.If the West accept your theory, Muslims must lose their freedom of religion. Any way it is part of Mr Spencer’s hate campaigns against Muslims that will lead to genocide killings of Muslims.

    • David says

      Nov 19, 2017 at 4:26 pm

      I think the answer is yes. When a muslim says A A he does want violence, either personally, or done by another muslim. Islam wages war on ‘infidels’, and you know it is not hate speech by Robert, but is the truth as commanded by the Koran. Check up on the genocide of Jews and Christians as practiced throughout the centuries by Islam.
      Muslims must lose their freedom of religion, for the good of civilisation. Why do you think muslims are so disliked by non-muslims?

    • LeftisruiningCanada says

      Nov 23, 2017 at 2:20 pm

      “you mean whenever a Muslim say “Allah Akbar “it means he wants use violence?”

      Whenever that muslim is about to attack someone, then yes of course.

      “what if he is praying, which requires many citations of “Allah Akbar “.”

      But is it not true that when a muslim cries A A before exploding/shooting/stabbing/raping etc etc etc, he is actually praying, isn’t he?

      I feel very sorry for you and all muslims that you are ‘required’ to make so many vain repeitions in your version of praying. You have been made slaves to a false god by the teachings of a false prophet lacking all redeeming qualities.

      Turn to Christ Jesus Ibrahim! Come to know truth and freedom and peace!

      “If the West accept your theory, Muslims must lose their freedom of religion”

      The islamic community in all western nations has abused the freedoms our nations have made safe for its citizens. When people abuse their freedoms and repeatedly prove that they cannot be trusted with them, then it is time for those freedoms to be restricted.

      When people steal or murder, for example, they lose freedoms by going to jail. Islam is due for something similar, because it will not behave itself according to our norms, indeed i cannot even do so.

      You won’t reply because you are a trolling coward, i think.

    The appalling Ibrahim itace muhammed wrote:

    Mr Spencer, do you mean that whenever a Muslim recites “Allah Akbar “he wants use violence?
    ……………………………

    Is Ibrahim itace muhammed claiming that attacking a police officer is not violent? Good grief…

    More:

    what if he is praying, which requires many citations of “Allah Akbar “?
    ……………………………

    Of course it does! Muslim prayers also require the cursing of Jews and Christians, and calls to slaughter all Infidels who do not submit to Islam.

    More:

    If Mr Spencer’s theory of hatred is accepted in west many practicing Muslims are going to lose their freedom of religion.
    ……………………………

    Jihad is a core part of the practice of Islam. Ibrahim itace muhammed does not want Muslim’s religious freedom curtailed by limiting the waging of violent Islam.

    But, of course, what he is positing here is false, in any case. He is just pretending that screaming “Alahu Akbar!” has nothing to do with Jihad, which is obviously absurdly false.

    More:

    Any way it is part of Mr Spencer’s hate campaigns against Muslims that will lead to genocide killings of Muslims.
    ……………………………

    Talk about projection!

    On a story about *Muslim* violence, Ibrahim itace muhammed is claiming that it is Muslims who are at risk.

    Robert Spencer has never once called for violence against Muslims, whereas Ibrahim itace muhammed has himself affirmed that Muslims call for the genocide of the Jews and for the murder of all Infidels who do not submit to Islam.

    Been reading about a lot of “migrants” rescued by Spanish ships lately. I guess since the Italians and Greeks seem to be finally cracking down on that crap, the dumb Spaniards are stepping into the role of sucker nation towards these leech muzlums.

    Obviously they have not learned a thing from their history, so I don’t have an iota of sympathy for the Spanish nitwits.

    I am becoming convinced that law enforcement is incapable of dealing with this menace to society in any substantial way. If law enforcement continues to act in this way of ignorance this job will be unceremoniously yanked from their hands. They will leave the people no other choice.

    Hey, wait a minute. A car moving from France to Spain was stopped by police at the France-Spain border? Why are their still border police between France and Spain? Both France and Spain are member countries of the EU, and one of the big advantages of the EU was to allow the abolition of borders within the EU. Or am I misinformed?

    So, these days, if it isn’t ORGANIZED crime, it’s not a crime at all, right, piggies?

    Imagine if someone robbed your home, raped your wife and killed your kids, and the cops then said:
    “No Mafia ties found, so no crimes were committed here! Whee!”
