I'm getting tired of writing this same headline -- including the words "Allahu akbar!" ("God is great!" in Arabic) -- over and over again. At the rate these Islamic terrorist attacks are occurring this year, I could write a similar headline every day, or at least once a week. [By the way, yesterday's last post was Number 3000 since the inception of WWW in July of 2009. That's not counting two or three that got taken down for some reason. Ed.] Only the location and the body count change. The rest of the story is always the same.
But can you say "Islamic terrorist", boys and girls? Apparently the authorities in Turku, Finland cannot. Two people have been killed and six or more injured today, when a man screaming "Allahu akbar!" went on a knife rampage before being shot by police and arrested. We have video -- just 7 second -- showing the aftermath. Listen carefully.
The police have so far refused to reveal the name, ethnicity, religion or motive of the attacker they are holding in custody. They say only that they are "investigating", proving that Finns are almost as politically correct as the Swedes, and just as eager not to fan the flames of Islamophobia. To which Walt says: Just because you're Islamophobic doesn't mean the Muslim jihadists aren't out to get you. They are!
UPDATE ADDED 19/8/17: The attacker, who deliberately targeted women, has been identified as a Moroccan asylum-seeker who entered Finland in 2016. No surprise there, then.
