I observe that the kuffar are wising up, even in Europe despite the tsunami of Islamopuffery with which people have been deluged for decades.
"Nobody was injured, as the people he targeted managed to jump out of the car's path in time...Witnesses said that they heard him shouting 'Allahu-akbar" out of the car window, which was open".
People are learning fast. If you are in a public place of any kind and you hear the war-cry of the Mohammedans, quickly scan surroundings to identify a potential threat, and if you are not equipped to respond at once with deadly force… take suitable evasive action, as rapidly as possible.
Our cops and security guards, and other persons with suitable training, such as veterans, and soldiers on leave, should on the other hand be studying – with a view to emulating – the typical Israeli response to such threats, to wit: bring down the hammer, hard and fast.
A further observation.
Not so long ago, in a comments thread at jihadwatch, one commenter – who stated that he regularly participates in online video games, with players from all over the world – remarked that he had observed that the phrase "allahu-akbar" was being used – sardonically/ ironically – by players from Europe, whom he assumed to be non-Muslim, whenever they thought something bad was going to happen in the game, to themselves or others. It had, in other words, been stripped of its formal arabic/ "religious" meaning (the meaning that the newspaper reporters always – though with some inaccuracy – officially tell us) and assigned the simpler, vulgar meaning "Sh*t is about to happen". Funny, that.
