Muslim Screaming ‘Allahu Akbar’ Attacks Cops, ‘Motive Unclear’

The French-language publication Actu 17 reported Monday that “two municipal police officers were injured in a knife attack late Monday afternoon on Rue d’Austerlitz, in the heart of Toulouse (Haute-Garonne). Their attacker—who reportedly made ‘terrorist-related remarks,’ according to the city’s mayor—was arrested at the scene and taken to the hospital. The Toulouse public prosecutor’s office has taken charge of the case.” In other words, it was just another day in Emmanuel Macron’s modern, multicultural France, and after this attack, there was the same ridiculous comic opera aftermath.

Actu 17 notes that “the two municipal police officers exited the vehicle to try to subdue their attacker. ‘The arrest was extremely difficult. They managed to seize his knife, but he had two others on him,’ recounted the deputy in charge of security. According to his information, the individual shouted ‘Allahu Akbar’several times. ‘My feeling is that he was determined to murder our officers,’ the official added. The suspect was finally subdued using pepper spray.”

So we have two salient facts: the attacker screamed “Allahu akbar,” and he tried to slash the officers’ necks. The Qur’an tells Muslims: “When you meet the unbelievers, strike the necks” (47:4). And as for “Allahu akbar,” it is for good reasons that jihadis so often scream this while trying to kill non-Muslims.

“Allahu akbar” does not mean “God is great,” although that is the most common way it is translated. While “Allah” is generally translated as “God,” the deity of Islam and the Qur’an is so different from the God of the Bible as to call for different terms. Meanwhile, “akbar” does indeed mean “greatest,” or more precisely “biggest,” as well as “greater” or “bigger,” and in this case, the most accurate translation of the phrase “Allahu akbar” would be “Allah is greater.”

This is because the Qur’an designates Muslims as the executors of Allah’s wrath in this world: “Fight them, and Allah will punish them by your hands, and he will lay them low and give you victory over them, and he will heal the hearts of people who are believers, and he will remove the anger of their hearts.” (9:14-15)

Despite all this, however, Actu 17 notes phlegmatically that “the attacker, who was injured during the arrest, was also taken to the hospital. His motives remain to be determined.”

And so here we go again. The obvious is ignored because it is politically inconvenient. We can’t give hypersensitive Muslims in France an excuse to claim “Islamophobia” and start rioting, now, can we? And so we have to continue to dissemble about what is actually going on in this ever-growing series of attacks, even as jihadis in Europe and North America grow steadily more emboldened and aggressive.
