A driver shouting the Islamic phrase "God is great" in Arabic has run down pedestrians in Dijon, France, injuring 11, two seriously, French media say.

He was arrested after targeting pedestrians in five different parts of the city in the space of half an hour.
He is said to be "apparently imbalanced" and to have spent time in a psychiatric hospital.
French police shot dead a man on Saturday after he attacked them with a knife, also shouting "God is great".

Nothing to see here. It has nothing to do with Islam. It's Islamophobic to even mention this. Not all Muslims are terrorists. He was just a deranged Lone Wolf Muslim with some deep-seated personal problems he was trying to resolve.

I win!

Hey.

It is easy to understand why it happens, especially with the spread of the internet these days.
People that have mental issues would probably be the first ones to be affected by the vast amount of Islamist information and propaganda that exists everywhere and especially online, it is of course harder to influence ordinary people but it happens.
That is why ISIS for instance is so active on social media such as twitter, it is an easy way to gather new followers, spread information and promote your own narrative of the events.

There is a good documentary by Zvi Yehezkeli about this issue that runs these days on Israeli tv, if I"ll find an English version I"ll post it on DP.

This madness will continue until France joins the rest of the civilized word and banns cars.

If you need a ride, call a cab. Leave driving to trained professionals.

I'll check it out if you do find it.

Obviously this has to do with commercialism of cars. No cars = no car'crime. I hope the victim sues the car manufacturer.

Mostly that is what I have always done. Not that I mind a mad dash down the autobahn or around the Hockenheimring; a leisurely spring cruise over an alpine pass. But down town give me a taxi every time.

The pedestrians also share some responsibility for being too near the streets.

But the important thing to understand, whoever is responsible for this , is that it is not Islam nor Muslims. This is only one instance in a lengthy series of inexplicable coincidences, but demonstrates nothing against the R of P.

Third "Allah Akhbar" in France in a week.

But you know Christians in Muslim countries do this all the time right! (?)
Come on, Read the 'Kennesaw' strings: "All religions are the same".
"John 3:16, BOOM!/CHOP" etc.

BTW, "It has nothing to do with Islam" is the popular Deflecting partner of Strawman "all muslims are not terrorists."

I give you al-November:

Yup PCers et al, "it's just like Christianity" and those 'Radicals' like Pat Robertson!
Holy Cow, an MSM outlet was so un-PC as to count!

Iraq was the most dangerous place to be, with 1,770 deaths in 233 attacks, ranging from shootings to suicide bombings.

In Nigeria, 786 people, almost all of them civilians, were killed in 27 Boko Haram incidents. These tended to be large and indiscriminate bombings and shootings such as the attack on the central mosque in the northern city of Kano, which left 120 dead.

Boko Haram also struck over the border in Cameroon, killing 15 people. Meanwhile, in East Africa, al-Shabab took 266 lives in Somalia and Kenya.

Afghanistan suffered almost the same number of deaths as Nigeria (782) but they tended to be in smaller, targeted attacks, such as the shooting of the deputy governor of Kandahar.

In war-ravaged Syria, 693 people were killed; Yemen had 410 deaths in 37 attacks.

Of the 16 jihadist groups involved in the bloodshed
, Islamic State was the most deadly, killing 2,206 people across Iraq and Syria - 44% of the total death toll.

I'm sure they missed a few too. (Thailand, etc)
They, or YOU, can go Islam: Making a True Difference in the World - One Body at a Time to see the Daily, Weekly, Monthly, and Yearly, HORRIFYING stats and incidents.

Amazed that an MSM outlet was so "bigoted" as to notice.. and count!
Are they trying to become a Hate Site or something?
:^)

Many People die EVERY day in the Name of Islam.
(Yes, on Many, Many, single DAYS, more are Killed than the Total from 30 YEARS of those nasty abortion clinic killings Moral equivocators like to invoke)

Many who were silent on Islam, either through PC or fear, are starting to speak up. The 'moderate' Muslims have been silent for so long that their very existence is being questioned.

Any suggestion of "Islamophobia" is also generating some laughter.
