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

UK: Muslim screaming “Allahu akbar” stabs three people, cops unsure of motive

Jan 1, 2019 6:26 am By Robert Spencer

In the video below, the knifeman screams “Long live the caliphate! Allahu akbar!” But “officers have yet to confirm whether the incident was a terror attack….Assistant Chief Constable Rob Potts said police were keeping an ‘open mind’ over the motive.”

So apparently they’re casting about for any other explanation (is the fellow “mentally ill?”) so as to avoid giving the public the impression that there has been yet another jihad terror attack. Humankind, especially citizens of Theresa May’s Britain, cannot bear too much reality.

“Speaking last night, he said: ‘Tonight’s events will have understandably worried people but I need to stress that the incident is not ongoing, a man is in custody and there is currently no intelligence to suggest that there is any wider threat at this time.'”

In reality, Constable, there is a much, much wider threat at this time, but you keep hoping that if you don’t admit it, it will go away. And so happy new year, same as the old year, in London.

“Hero police officer was stabbed while tackling ‘Allah Akbar-screaming knifeman’ during Manchester station rampage: Praise for cop’s ‘incredible bravery’ to end New Year attack that left two more hurt,” by George Martin and Richard Spillett, MailOnline, January 1, 2019:

A knife-wielding attacker shouting ‘Allahu Akbar’ stabbed three people at Manchester Victoria station last night, before he was Tasered to the ground and arrested.

A man and a woman in their 50s and a British Transport Police officer were injured during the terrifying knife attack, which unfolded as revellers travelled into the city ahead of the New Year’s celebrations.

Anti-terror police are handling the investigation, but officers have yet to confirm whether the incident was a terror attack.

Footage from the scene shows a man being pinned down by five police officers, with blood stains on the pavement next to them.

Another video shows him shouting ‘Allahu Akbar’, meaning ‘God is most great’ in Arabic, as he was put in the back of a police van.

A witness said he shouted: ‘As long as you keep bombing other countries, this sort of s*** is going to keep happening.’

Police said a man was arrested on suspicion of attempted murder and remains in custody.

The station is next to Manchester Arena, where suicide bomber Salman Abedi killed 22 people on May 22.

Assistant Chief Constable Rob Potts said police were keeping an ‘open mind’ over the motive.

Speaking last night, he said: ‘Tonight’s events will have understandably worried people but I need to stress that the incident is not ongoing, a man is in custody and there is currently no intelligence to suggest that there is any wider threat at this time.’…

Witness Sam Clack, who came within touching distance of the attacker, said he heard the man shout ‘Allah’ as he launched the attack….

He said he heard the suspect saying: ‘As long as you keep bombing other countries this sort of s*** is going to keep happening.’

Mr Clack said it looked like both the man in his 60s and the woman with him had been stabbed, but both were conscious and were walked to a waiting ambulance.

He said he also heard the knifeman shouting ‘Allah’ before and during the attack….

In footage posted on Snapchat reportedly showing the suspect being put in the back of a police van, he can be heard shouting ‘Allahu Akbar’ as he is led away by officers….

In a separate document posted on the app, known for its use by terrorists, IS extremists explained in graphic detail who to target with a knife.

The terror manual suggested targeting a ‘drunken kafir (non-believer)’ or someone ‘in an alley close a night club or another place of debauchery’.

‘It may also help to carry a baton or some kind of concealable blunt object, such as a baseball bat, to strike the victim’s head’, it said.

This would immobilise him ‘before cutting his throat or stabbing him in other lethal areas to finish him off’, it recommended….

    The Great Denial continues, at the cost of the British public.

      What a horrific waste of time and effort ! EVERYONE knows that any supposedly cognizant human being that would join this inbred, throwback, head banging, butt waving, female mutilating, bunch of bloody murderous savages is bound to be mentally unhinged.
      And yet, the politically correct cowards go to great lengths to try and hide that fact.
      It should be scriven in stone. Muslim = murderous nutcase.

    Is there no.Psychiatric nstitution that caters for the vast number of deluded British adults both within and outside (of) Btitish government who believe they’re living in La La Land ? If there is naught to quell this collective illness, I fear I see British citizens headed towards a veritable hell on earth.
    FOR THOSE OF MORE SOUND MIND, this level of collective delusion has has got to be a terrible weight to bear.

    I don’t want to sound pompous. I believe very few countries in the FREE world today (including my own) will avoid this deathly malaise. It is a terrifying phenomenon to behold.
    Which is why it comes as a huge relief to hear that both Australia and Belgium APPEAR to be awakening from their respective slumbers… (?)

    If only sighted folk would rise up en masse and say WE HAVE HAD ENOUGH.
    SURELY THEY CAN’T ALL BE THROWN INTO PRISON FOR SUCH HEALTHY RESISTANCE???
    Or are there too few sighted people for such an uprising. Perhaps all those who are anti-this-particular-delusion could organise a collective stay-away from work ?

    It has me think of Pilate asking Christ, “What is truth?” Yet not staying to hear the response to his question (of course).

      I have just realized: the mental illness suffered by the Muslim attacker is infectious! The police are now suffering in the same way. One of the symptoms is that they are unable to recognise an Islamic attack for what it really is.

    How many years will the UK take to know the motive of those whose ideology is to kill, subjugate, plunder and lie about the same for years on end?

    These chicken-hearted elements of UK are only wanting more jihad attacks and sharia – at rapid pace…

    God bless those who are clueless and find no purpose in life…

    I read on another site that the witness Sam Clack was a BBC producer, the always pro-islamic TV network. Wonder if this experience will have any effect on his mindset. My guess is it will only reinforce his bias.

    Motive: Koran 8.60 “TURHIBUNNA” (terrorise them).

    Talked to my friend from Sweden last night and she told me that “boys” were throwing firecrackers, M-80’s, and shooting roman candles at people out enjoying the New Year’s eve celebrations. She said, “Boys will be boys” Then she alluded that they were throwing them at police too.
    Then I read this story on Jihad Watch and it paints a totally different story in Norway. She said “Boys will be boys”, I wonder when the European women are getting gang raped if they will lay there saying, Oh Well boys will be boys

      When my kids were little, we had a neighbor who had a son who was older. Every time my kids were playing in the yard, this boy would began riding his bike back and forth in front of our house, causing my kids to have to run to keep from being hit. He had a lot of space to ride in the other direction, but he was only doing it to bully my kids. They asked him to stop and so did I.

      I spoke to the boy’s father and asked him to speak to his son, to stop him from “terrorizing” my kids. The man laughed and said he was “just being a boy” and I should have my kids play inside or in the back.

      I didn’t buy it, so I backed my car down the drive and across the walk so he would have to ride his bike into the street if he wanted to pass our house. He complained to his father who came to me, telling me he didn’t like it; that I should move my car. And I told the guy it was my driveway and I was just using it.

      Bullies, thugs, rapists and murderers must be dealt with and as soon as possible. Those “boys” in your friend’s town won’t stay boys…but will be stronger rapists soon.

    Thank you lefties; they (police) treat him with kid gloves. It will only get worse. They need to pummel him, shame him, and lock the bitch away.

    I posted this on another thread last night before this story was added to this site. The last sentence in what the BBC producer wrote on twitter says a whole lot about his current thinking on the subject.

    “Per the article in CNN: “BBC producer Sam Clack happened to be at the scene. He heard the man “shout ‘Allah’ distinctly,” but he didn’t hear the rest of the sentence, he said on air with the BBC. Shortly after the incident, Clack said this on Twitter:
    “Just been very close to the most terrifying thing. Man stabbed in Manchester Victoria station on tram platform. Feet from me, I was close to jumping on the tracks as attacker had long kitchen knife. Totally shaken. This is seriously messed up.”

    “This is seriously messed up.” When one faces possible imminent death, it can wake him up. Perhaps some reporting will change.

    UK: Muslim screaming “Allahu akbar” stabs three people, cops unsure of motive
    …………………….

    Isn’t everyone here sick of this grotesque,m endless kabuki theater?

    • somehistory says

      Sick of islam, sick of lying moslims, sick of lying-for-whatever-reason, “officials.”

      The Truth is necessary. The Truth is refreshing. Seems those “in charge” choose to prevaricate when they aren’t lying outright.

      This statement from the police shows that they are incompetent at the least, or lying at worst.

    How Pathetic!! You don’t need to be a Sherlock Holmes, or a Columbo, to work this out!! If officials fail to state the bleeding obvious – they should be remove from Office. In the US if a Criminal Defendant, has an IQ of 83, then they are Not Guilty, by reason of Mental Defect. The entire Muslim World’s IQ average is around 80. This lot will be lucky to break 50. It’s been proven IQ under 80 & the individual can’t be trained to do anything. So what do you expect?

    Is that diagnosis of mental illness a ‘get out of jail free’ card.The police are trying to reassure us that there is not a wider connection. So what? This statement shows that they are either stupid, or covering up something. What they need to do is to say this is yet another Islamic terror attack. As if anyone is not able to realise this!
    There was another case where a Muslim tried to attack people, at Buckingham palace in London. He was arrested, but said he was not trying to hurt anyone, and was hoping that the police would kill him(we know why!) So he was subsequently released without charge. Can you believe this? It actually happened.
