Of course. What else could he possibly be? I mean, who ever heard of Muslims screaming “Allahu akbar” behaving violently?
“Hull University worker locked up after terrifying terrorism arrest as he brandished knife and chanted in quiet street,” by Nathan Standley, Hull Daily Mail, March 6, 2021 (thanks to Henry):
A former University of Hull staff member who brandished a large knife in the street while chanting religious slogans has been locked up indefinitely after a terrorism investigation.
Shocking footage of the terrifying incident in Cheadle Close, off Beverley Road, on Saturday, June 13 last year shows Munir Elkali, 32, in a garden, wearing a bandana and holding the weapon while repeatedly crouching and standing again, chanting loudly.
As traffic passes on nearby Beverley Road, the person filming, clearly frightened, is heard saying: “He’s going to kill someone here, he’s got a knife in his hand. What’s he doing?”

Later footage shows Elkali continuing to chant as police, including armed officers, surround and detain him.
At the time, a spokeswoman for Humberside Police said officers had been called to reports of a man in the street carrying a knife and shouting at approximately 10am.
He was initially arrested on suspicion of affray and possession of an offensive weapon, but that was later changed to an arrest for terrorism offences, linked to the incident and posts found on social media in the days leading up to the incident.
Chief Superintendent Scott Young said at the time that police believed it to be an isolated incident with no wider risk to the public….
But prosecutors dropped the two terrorism charges against Elkali, originally from war-torn Libya, and he was sentenced solely for possessing a knife in public instead.
Elkali, listed online as a modern languages teaching assistant at the University of Hull, pleaded guilty to that offence via videolink after two psychiatrists reported that he had made “significant progress” under a hospital detention and wished to continue doing so, defence barrister Narita Bahra QC said.
The court heard Elkali had been suffering a mental breakdown due to paranoid schizophrenia when he went on to the footpath outside his home on Cheadle Close last year, armed with the kitchen knife with a three-inch blade and in an agitated state….
The Recorder of Middlesbrough, Judge Paul Watson QC, who was due to conduct the trial, thanked the prosecution and the defence for reaching a conclusion to the case.
The judge told Elkali: ”It’s perfectly clear that you were in a disorientated and agitated state because of your mental illness at the time.”…

I have no doubt that all allahists are mentally handicapped. In my time teaching in an islamic country I saw female students putting on the hijab and visibly losing intelligence. It also worked in the other round: losing the dishrag, meant gaining intelligence. A far more evident and stunningly powerful correlation is between the hijab and happiness.

UK: Muslim brandishes large knife in street while screaming ‘Allahu akbar,’ doctors say he’s mentally ill
……………
I am *so* tired of this obfuscation of Jihad terror. Now even screaming “Allahu Akbar!” is not enough to give these tolls a head’s up.
mortimer says
Yes, the supposed psychological experts we hear about are too LAZY to do the work of understanding the jihad doctrine which is incumbent and compulsory upon all Muslims.
Jihad is Islam’s sixth and most important pillar.
Rob Porter says
mortimer – yes, this is it, supposed psychological experts are too lazy to find out what is behind apparent Muslim lunacy and violence. Of course Islam does drive individuals to acts of lunacy and violence, but God forbid these ‘psychological experts’, Western politicians and authorities should investigate this as I did. In fact, it was Muslim violence that inspired me to spend considerable time studying Islam’s history and read the Qur’an. Robert Spencer more than anyone else taught me a huge amount.
govanite says
I totally agree. But interestingly under the UK’s ,scandalously stupid hate laws, these shrinks have committed a serious criminal offence by branding this proto terrorist as mentally ill. Don’t they know that by branding him mentally ill is equivalent to calling all practicing muslims mentally ill ???? Definitely a hate crime of just the plain truth ?
STJOHNOFGRAFTON says
The ‘Fact Checker’ fraternity would declare ‘false alarm’. The Muslim was only advertising a knife sample from his local cutlery franchise. Shouting allahu akbar is just friendly spruiking.

Er, WTF is “spruiking”?

BlackSabbath says
All islamists should be treated as mentally retards and policies should be developed in all civilized nations to address this mental illness.
Walter Sieruk says
If this Muslim man really is mentally ill is because his religion drove hm crazy.
Walter Sieruk says
Other way to put it. It that if that Muslim man really is mentally ill it’s probably because Islam drove him into that irrational mindset.

As the saying has it, ‘You are what you eat’, and I have been wondering for a long time about the long-term effects of consuming non-stunned meat. It’s well documented that animals killed according to the halal method endure a a period of sometimes extreme terror before they die, and this would induce a ‘fight/flight’ response which would be accompanied by the excess secretion of substances like adrenalin into the bloodstream. The question is whether or not meat slaughtered in this way still has excesses of this sort of substance permeated through it which might survive the cooking processes and affect anyone who eats it either temporarily or permanently, and would manifest itself in the kind of ‘hyper’ or ‘insane’ behaviour that we see so frequently in muslims. Our problem would be that if Western populations are fed this basically adulterated meat, behaviour patterns would change and our controlled, ‘civilised’ norms of public conduct might be permanently corrupted with higher occurrences of violence as already witnessed in many Western countries where muslims have arrived.
I am not a scientist, so this is just uninformed speculation, but precedents might exist in instances like (for example) the proven link between criminal behaviour in environments with excessive air pollution from motor vehicles and the the theory that the Enlightenment of the 18th. century was partly influenced by the effects of the introduction of coffee (a stimulant) as a regular dietary feature, replacing alcoholic beverages (depressants); and a similar link might possibly be made with late-adolescent gang violence in the 1950’s where post-WW2-boom youths with too much time and money on their hands (and too little parental control) spent excessive time consuming caffeine in coffee bars. So it’s not completely improbable that the regular consumption of excessive residual stimulant substances in meat might have an undesirable effect on behaviour.
Perhaps a scientist could confirm/deny these ideas?

Very Deep and interesting theory….

Is there anyone brave enough on that side of the pond to suggest that, given the extraordinary number of recorded cases and incident reports, all emegrés should be strictly processed and examined for potentially “Violent Religious Ideations”?
