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

UK: Muslim pleads guilty to stabbing man multiple times while screaming “Allahu akbar” and “Long live the caliphate”

Nov 26, 2019 2:00 pm By Robert Spencer

One might almost get the crazy idea that incidents of this kind had something to do with Islam, if we didn’t have our moral superiors around to assure us that Islam is a religion of peace that has nothing whatsoever to do with terrorism, and that only greasy Islamophobes think otherwise.

“‘He lunged at my head with his knife’: Hero police officer reveals how lone wolf terrorist slashed him after stabbing two commuters in horrific railway station attack,” by Ed Riley, Mailonline, November 26, 2019:

A hero police officer who confronted a terrorist as he launched a frenzied attack on train commuters has told how the knifeman ran towards him and ‘lunged’ at his head with the blade.

Sergeant Lee Valentine, 31, has spoken of the moment he pulled the trigger on his Taser but failed to stop crazed lone wolf Mahdi Mohamud who was armed with a fillet knife.

He was with colleague Pc Tom Wright, 27, on duty at Manchester Victoria railway station when he heard a shocking scream as Mohamud launched the attack.

Sgt Valentine said he felt ‘massively’ lucky not to be more seriously injured in the attack last New Year’s Eve.

The crazed knifeman, 26, had walked up behind unsuspecting James Knox, screaming ‘Allahu Akbar!’ and ‘Long live the Caliphate!’ as he stabbed his victim repeatedly in the back, shoulders and head.

He then turned the knife on Mr Knox’s companion, Anna Charlton, slashing her across the face after the couple, in their 50s, randomly crossed his path heading for a tram platform shortly before 9pm last December 31.

Sgt Valentine said: ‘I didn’t even get the chance to take the fired cartridge off the top before he just started running towards me.

‘He probably closed a seven foot gap in half a second. ‘It was just like a dive, he flew, he probably jumped three or four foot off the ground and just sort of lunged, probably lunged at my head with his knife.’

Mohamud at Manchester Crown Court today admitted three counts of attempted murder and one count of possession of a document or record likely to be useful to a person committing or preparing an act of terrorism, a manual titled, ‘the seven most lethal ways to strike with a knife’.

Talking of the moment he heard the attack, Sgt Valentine said: ‘It was just like a scream I had never heard before, it was literally like someone was being killed.’

Fellow British Transport Police (BTP) Pc Ashleigh Williams, 27, and her colleague Marsha Selby, 28, along with two tram staff confronted Mohamud, who ‘like an animal’ was ‘fixated’ on stabbing and slashing….

    Funny how they all plead insanity in court.

    The Brits should be grateful for the cultural enrichment of multiculturalism.

    This was just a moderate Muslim who, suddenly realizing that he might not have enough Gold Stars to make it into Paradise, began ridding the World of non-Muslims (as instructed). This gets you in the “fast track” lane on the road to Paradise. Plus some other morons will remember you as a hero instead of a loser.

    How long will GB and Europe make “excuses” for the islam hordes invading? He is not mentally ill or some thug. This is islam in action. Absolute insanity on the part of GB. As I have read here many times: “Are we diverse enough yet?”

    He pleaded guilty, pretty obvious as he was on cctv and immediately captured. In mitigation it was stated he was a paranoid schizophrenic, whats new ?
    He will be sentenced today and will probably get a life sentence with 20-30 years as he was armed, prepared etc.
    Or he could go to a hospital till he’s cured…

    When they are in a severe, yet, potent minority, who feel enabled and galvanised, constantly, by apologists…… what will they start doing at 10-15-20-30-40-50 percent of the population?

    That’s rhetorical by the way. I don’t expect to be educated with replies when I already know…. as obnoxious as it sounds.

      We need to send them all back to where they (or their parents or grandparents) came from — or to some other Islamic hellhole nation — before they have the numbers to really bully & subjugate us. Otherwise, the West is doomed. And that means the world is doomed, possibly forever.

      Nothing is more important than making the West 100% Muslim-free, as soon as possible.

      It is indeed strange that when people of other faiths (Christians, Jews, Hindus, Buddhists, Sikhs etc.) “get” their religion and begin practising it, they become more peaceful, whereas Muslims often become more violent.

        *So* true, Janice.

    If I say what I think about this Muslim horror I get banned from Facebook but they can go on camera in Birmingham telling a canvassing politician to go back to a white country and get out of ours.

    I hope, once Conservatives are back in government there will be a referendum on capital punishment. The public will vote for it, and these Muslim barbaric scum will die for their crimes. Also execution should apply to any in prisons previously convicted. Remove the earth of this Muslim disease, if governments don’t people will take action themselves. Take note Islam filth.

    So why wasn’t this incident reported in the press at the time? And how many more such incidents are going unreported?

    • gravenimage says

      Dec 12, 2019 at 9:58 pm

      Sandy, this story was reported in the Daily Mail. Please see the story above.

    ” ”
    What’s that? Oh, yes, the sound of corporate Islam denouncing this act which sullies the ”religion of peace.” You would think that by now, given the number of such incidents across the UK, that it would at least have a committee looking into such events.

  12. Thereader says

    The description of the incident sounds like a case of demon possession. There is the weird scream that the police officer described. Also the way the tazer had no effect and the man came at him – “he flew”, leapt 3 – 4 feet off the ground. I believe Islam is demonic. “By their fruits you shall know them” – this is what Jesus said. It’s a pity that in Britain today very few people ever study His words.

    “Our leaders” keep slandering us as hateful racist bigots whom, if and when told of the real jihadi threat, would go on mindless lynching rampages against their swarthy victimal People-Of-Color pets, and they can’t have that sort of thing happen under their watch, now can they?! Their globalist masters might disapprove!

      Islam is, of course, not a race.
