"Allahu akbar!" in Vienna: Islamic terrorist kills four before shot dead

Walt didn't hurry to post this story yesterday, when it broke, because it would be embarrassing to cast suspicion on Muslims, only to have the attackers turn out to be, errr, non-Muslim, twice in one week. So I waited until my suspicions were confirmed.

Yes, it's another terrorist attack on innocent civilians. This time it happened in Vienna, the civilized and delightful capital city of Austria, where Islamic extremists rampaged through the entertainment district on Monday night, killing four people. One of the attackers was shot dead by police, but a personhunt [the PC term for "manhunt". Ed.] is on for others. 

After the customary dithering over whether to utter words like "Islamic" or "Muslim", the polizei identified the Muslim who is now in Paradise being serviced by 72 virgins. He was 20-year-old Kujtim Fejzulai, a dual citizen of Austrian and North Macedonia [Where dat? Ed.], seen in this selfie taken shortly before the attack.

In April of 2019, he was sentenced to 22 months in prison for trying to travel to Syria to join ISIS. He was released in December because, hey, he was just a juvenile. Boys will be boys.

Dressed in white coveralls and armed with an automatic rifle and a fake explosive vest, the late Mr Fejzulai ran through Vienna's cobblestone streets, firing off bursts at random. Two men and two women died from their injuries. A police officer who tried to get in the way of the attacker was shot and wounded, and another 14 people were wounded.

Chancellor Sebastian Kurz told the meeja, "It is now confirmed that yesterday's attack was clearly an Islamist terror attack," Kurz said. "It was an attack out of hatred -- hatred for our fundamental values, hatred for our way of life, hatred for our democracy in which all people have equal rights and dignity." Note: not "Western values" or "Christian values", just "fundamental values". But at least he called out Islamism.
