Allahu Akbar!
It’s the new “off his meds”.
A man went on a stabbing rampage in downtown Sydney, Australia, on Tuesday, killing one woman and wounding another before he was restrained by members of the public, police said.
The man has a history of mental illness and is suspected of attempting to stab other people while yelling “Allahu akbar,” or “God is great,” police and witnesses said.
Police have not labelled the rampage an act of terrorism, although the 21-year-old, who was not named by police, had collected information on his computer about mass killings in North America and New Zealand, New South Wales state Police Commissioner Michael Fuller said.
He said the magic words.
A Middle Eastern man set his non-Muslim Canadian wife on fire. Now, let’s contrast this with establishment media presentation. Checking CBC, Global News et al, we find no reference to any of this pertinent information. Is the accused a recent migrant or refugee? Unknown.

Seems moderate.

A 9:48 p.m. Facebook post on 2nd Precinct Minneapolis Crime Watch page said that University of Minnesota (U of M) police were requesting assistance from Minneapolis police (MPD) and Metro Transit police for “a group of 8-10 males chasing people with hammers” and that some people were injured. A Facebook post a minute later on Minneapolis Scanner page said that the three police departments were responding to “multiple [911] calls” about “10-12 Somali teen males armed with hammers chasing people,” also with “several injuries reported.” Both Facebook pages regularly post summaries of police scanner audio.

Calling all mental health professionals;
A video which is making headway on the internet shows a man intent on killing Asia Bibi telling the world he is in Canada seeking an opportunity to murder the innocent Christian mother of five who has only recently been allowed to leave Pakistan after a 9.5 year brutal incarceration.
Looks to me like a local matter.

The “W” Word
Naturally everybody’s against white supremacy. And with solid historical reason given the evil it did over the past 500 years. But for all the horrors of racial slavery, the biggest killers in the 20th century were Mao, Stalin and Hitler, and in no case was skin colour an issue. In the Holocaust, ethnicity was explicit, and in the Holodomor, class warfare intersected with a cultural tradition of individual farming, not communal farming, to make Ukrainians the main target of Stalin’s deliberately engineered famine. And today the biggest threat isn’t the one related to race, and our foreign minister shouldn’t be in denial about it.

Now Is The Time At SDA When We Islamapose!
The Saskatchewan government says it’s promoting inclusion and acceptance by adopting a day against Islamophobia, set to take effect on Jan. 29 next year. [..]
The announcement, made by Morgan on Twitter on Friday, is all the more important in the wake of the recent Christchurch, New Zealand mosque shootings, he said.
“People are talking about it now and I think we need to show support for Muslims. And we need to stand up against any kind of racism,” Morgan said.
At the rally in Auckland’s Aotea Square, Ahmed Bhamji, chairman of the Mount Roskill Masjid E Umar, which is associated with The Federation of Islamic Associations of New Zealand, stated of the shooter who targeted the victims, “I really want to say one thing today. Do you think this guy was alone? … I want to ask you, where did he get the funding from? I will not mince words. I stand here and I say I have very, very strong suspicion that there is some group behind him and I am not afraid to say I feel that Mossad is behind this.”
An onlooker shouted, “It’s the truth! Israel is behind this. That’s right!”
What we really need is a day to stand up against any kind of mental illness.
Catholic Priest in Montreal Stabbed
During morning mass at St. Joseph’s Oratory cathedral in Montreal, a man ran up to the altar and stabbed Father Claude Grou.
Authorities have not yet released the name of the man who stabbed the priest. One wonders how much the Trudeau government will end up awarding him.

Erdogan — in full campaign mode for March 31 municipal elections for his AKP party — has presented the attack as part of an assault on Turkey and Islam more broadly and projected the video of the killings at his rallies over the weekend to comment on what he called rising Islamophobia.
That drew a sharp rebuke from New Zealand, for using controversial video shot by the Christchurch mosque gunman as an election campaign prop.
Yesterday, according to the Hurriyet News Daily, he doubled down, referring Gallipoli campaign by allied forces, including the Australian and New Zealand troops, in World War I, saying Turkey would “write history” again if anyone stood against Turks, Muslims and all the oppressed.“Your grandparents came, some of them returned in coffins. If you come as well like your grandfathers, be sure that you will be gone like your grandfathers,” he said
“If Turkey faces a test similar to those that happened in Gallipoli in the First World War, the country is capable of doing the same again,” he said.
Erdogan said that the shooter had entered Turkey twice according to Turkish intelligence. “This terrorist entered Turkey twice. In the first one, he stayed for three days, and on his second visit, he stayed in Turkey as well as in its neighbouring countries for 43 days to conduct ‘works’,” Erdogan said, according to the Hurriyet report.
