Immigrant Shouts "Allahu Akbar" As He Goes Into Stabbing Rampage in Hamburg Supermarket; No Known Motive, Say German Police

Sometimes I make up snark for headlines.

In this case, though, the headline's real; police say there is no known motive.

He just shouted "Allahu Akbar" as he went on a stabbing rampage, a tactic common to jihadis. Palestinians are still executing their own "Stabbing Intifada."

A knife-wielding man reportedly screamed "Allahu Akbar" during a wild attack inside a Hamburg supermarket that killed at least one person and left four others bloodied and wounded on Friday.
German police arrested the suspected attacker in the Barmbek district after witnesses followed the man and alerted authorities. The suspect was overwhelmed by passers-by and slightly injured in the process, police said.
The assailant entered the supermarket and stabbed one person, who died at the scene, before fleeing the scene. While on the run, the suspect stabbed and injured four other people.

Remember when I said this "no known motive" guy just happened to execute an attack style invented by Palestinians? Well, he's a known Palestinian Islamist.

Hamburg knife attacker was Saudi-born Palestinian Islamist known to security circles, says @tagesspiegel https://t.co/L3PF7wjcV0

When this first happened a few hours ago, I read all the originals articles, and they all cited "robbery gone wrong" as the cops' statement.

When no one believed the robbery explanation, only THEN did they resort to the old standby, "No known motive."

40 A side note-it's highly unusual to find a SAUDI born Palestinian. When they were asked to leave Israel so that Jordan could push the Jews into the Mediterranean, they found it difficult to find a place to go-Jordan and Kuwait being the primary takers. Saudi even made it difficult for Pali's to go on Hajj. So this is a very interesting bit of information.

Agent: Yes, we do, unfortunately we ran out of cars.
Jerry: But the reservation keeps the car here. That’s why you have the reservation.
Agent: I know why we have reservations.
Jerry: I don’t think you do. If you did, I’d have a car. See, you know how to take the reservation, you just don’t know how to *hold* the reservation and that’s really the most important part of the reservation, the holding. Anybody can just take them.

Following the war of independence and the palestinian diaspora, not a single Gulf state gave the "Refugees" citizenship (nor did Syrua, Lebanon or Egypt). "Palestinian refugee" has become an hereditary stateless caste.

The ostensible intent was to preserve Palestinian culture by preventing assimilation, but that's pretty much an obvious cynicism. Most likely it was done to prevent resolution of the Arab-Israeli conflict.

Let's suppose you try and do something about the rise of terror and Islam. The state *WILL* come after you, and it *WILL* destroy you.

Let's suppose you stick your head in the sand. The odds of a jihadi hurting you or yours are still pretty low.

So what is the rational choice here?

This is, of course, intentional. The technocrats want some terror - so they can demand more money and power over the proles - but not so much that people are at greater risk from the jihadis then they are from the technocrats.

It is brilliant actually, if down right evil.

108 Following the war of independence and the palestinian diaspora, not a single Gulf state gave the "Refugees" citizenship (nor did Syrua, Lebanon or Egypt). "Palestinian refugee" has become an hereditary stateless caste.

The ostensible intent was to preserve Palestinian culture by preventing assimilation, but that's pretty much an obvious cynicism. Most likely it was done to prevent resolution of the Arab-Israeli conflict.

"Palestinian" is not an ethnicity. It was originally just a geographical marker.

Prior to 1964, the identifying phrase was always "Palestinian Arab."

They are Arabs, ethnically, The place where they lived (called at that time) was the Mandate of Palestine. Hence, "Palestinian Arabs."

It was Yasser Arafat -- under recommendation from Marxist advisors helping him to formulate the "missions statement" of the PLO -- who declared in 1964 that they were dropping the "Arab: part of the name, and henceforth referring to themselves as "Palestinians," as a way of consciously creating a new ethnicity. And thereby have more rights.

Ultimately, ALL Palestinians originated in Arabia.

Little known detail: The ancestors of the vast majority of Arabs "native" to the Mandate of Palestine only arrived there very recently in history, mostly in the late 19th and early 20th centuries -- approximately the same time as the early Jewish Zionists. The Arabs arrived as shepherds and pastoralists, mostly.

Prior to the 19th century, the area now known as "Palestine" was extremely sparsely populated -- just a few villages and a few shepherds in the mountains. And all identified simply as "Arabs" - -stateless Arabs.

It's complicated: the Saudis need Israel, because they keep the Iranians off Saudi's back, and away from Mecca. But in order to keep their street cred, they help to perpetuate the "Palestinian refugee" situation, by refusing Palestinians to emigrate to the Kingdom. The Sauds don't want them, because they cause trouble-they see what is happening in Jordan, with first, Hussein, and now Abdullah. They typically don't hire Palestinians as third country national workers, because they don't want them settling there, and because they get better workers from India, Bangladesh and the Philippines.

To be fair, a minority of Palestinians are actually ethnc Levantines.

Most of their important families are immigrants from Egypt of the Arabian peninsula, and their population genetics are indicate an arab-levantine mix (unlike, say, the Lebanese, who are pretty close to both Ashkenaz and Sephard..... )

189 On the subject of Muslims killing people, and the incredibly elaborate contortions which Our Betters then engage in to avoid discussing the M-word, I give you this press gem.

Recall the Somali Muslim immigrant cop in Minne-craphole-is, "fast tracked" into the police force at the SJW mayor's behest. The Somali Muslim who then for no reason at all lethally shot an Aussie woman, after that pajama-clad lady had herself called the police to report what she thought was a sexual assault in progress. The Somali Muslim who refuses now to speak with internal-affairs investigators.

Here's how that was reported Down Under.

http://tinyurl.com/y98v8yfn

Note that there are two words which appear nowhere at all in the article. The first of those words begins with an "I". The second of them begins with an "M".

Purely an oversight that those words do not appear, you can be sure.

Also left discreetly unmentioned: that the officer in question is an immigrant, and that he hails from Somalia.

By the way, this particular press organ in Australia is one of the purportedly *conservative* papers there. It is also, inter alia, a Rupert Murdoch property.

194 131 Allahu Akbar does NOT mean "god is great."

Posted by: Sponge

The most accurate translation is

"Allah is superior."

Originally, when Islam was founded, "Allah" was viewed as a separate deity, distinct from the deities of other religions -- NOT as the "universal god" he is assumed to be today.

Mecca was the site of the Kaaba, a multi-religion holy site where all the different tribes and sects in pagan Arabia had their statues and shrines. Mohammed came in, knocked over every other tribes statue, and declared that HIS tribe's deity -- Allah -- was better than all the rest: "Allahu Ackbar."

This was the basis of Islam, and is not under dispute.

Only much later, after the conquered huge amounts of territory, did they start to claim that Allah was the One and Only God, i.e. similar to "God" in Judeo-Christian theology.

201 It's complicated: the Saudis need Israel, because they keep the Iranians off Saudi's back, and away from Mecca. But in order to keep their street cred, they help to perpetuate the "Palestinian refugee" situation, by refusing Palestinians to emigrate to the Kingdom. The Sauds don't want them, because they cause trouble-they see what is happening in Jordan, with first, Hussein, and now Abdullah. They typically don't hire Palestinians as third country national workers, because they don't want them settling there, and because they get better workers from India, Bangladesh and the Philippines.

It means Allah, the Muslim God specifically, is greatest. It's like shouting "White Power". It does get used colloquially, like an American saying, "Thank God" without actually meaning to give thanks to their omnipotent creator. But in the context of an attack, it is a statement of Muslim supremacism.

Muslims do not worship the same God as Christians. Watch for photos of Muslims, particualarly Muslim Supremacists like jihadis, raising one finger, like a "we're number one" gesture. That is a statement of the oneness of God meant to be a direct refutation of the Christian Trinity.

258 A new genetic study proves the modern-day Lebanese are descendants of the ancient Canaanites (Phoenicians).

In the study, published in American Journal of Human Genetics, scientists managed to extract DNA from five people buried in the ancient city of Sidon 3,700 years ago and sequence their entire genomes.

The Canaanites' genetic material was found to be 93% similar to that of 99 modern Lebanese. This, despite the fact that the region was conquered several times over the course of history, and not always by close neighbors

260 To be fair, a minority of Palestinians are actually ethnc Levantines. But given the fact that in the 19th century the place was over-run by Jordanians and Egyptians, and they thought of themselves as "Syrians" (because the Levant was known as simply "Syria" or "Greater Syria" in English or "Bilad Al Sham" in Arabic, until the Ottoman Empire split up), the whole Palestinian culture thing is a bit of a farce. Most of their important families are immigrants from Egypt of the Arabian peninsula, and their population genetics are indicate an arab-levantine mix (unlike, say, the Lebanese, who are pretty close to both Ashkenaz and Sephard..... )

Actually, as far as I know that isn't true. The majority of LEBANESE are "Levantines" -- i.e. Phoenician -- but almost all "Palestinians" are of Arab descent.

This was proven in a genetic study that was the focus of a PBS show about ten years ago. The show was actually on the subject of "Whatever happened to the Minoans?", and the theory is that after the eruption they migrated to the area the north-eastern end of the Mediterranean -- and founded the civlization that came to be known as "Phoenicia" -- where modern-day Lebanon is. Seeking to prove that

a. Phoenicia was the continuation of the Minoan civilization; and
b. The modern-day Lebanese are the descendants of the Phoenicians, the scientists in the show took DNA sample from an array of ethnically "Lebanese" people and indeed discovered that

a. They had genetic markers in common with some populations in the Greek islands (who themselves therefore were teh pther scattered survivors of the Minoans; and
b. They were distinctly DIFFERENT from the surrounding populations in Syria and Jordan and Palestine, who all were shown to be of Arab decent instead.

It is that last point -- a mere side-issue of the main study -- that concerns us here. As an accicentaly byproduct of the Lebanese/Phoenician DNA study, they also showed that "Palestinians" are of Arab descent.

A related theory -- that modern-day Palestinians might possible be descended from the Philistines -- is also untrue. Primarily because (to be frank) the Hebrews wiped the Philistines out in a series of wars. So there are no surviving Philistines either.

263 106 I am not finding any quotes from German police saying that "no known motive" or " impossible to find motive" - just quote that "all motives are being considered" (i. e. we're investigating). Is the outrage here that police should just immediately declare terror attack?
Posted by: Banana Splits Guy at July 28, 2017 02:40 PM (XumPZ)
------------------------------------
Um, Ace was quoting the news headline, not the police.
The use of "no known motive" has become a silly, reflexive cliche for the media whenever the perp is a Muslim.

Perhaps silence as regards to motive might be in order until one is ascertained or reasonably assumed. That's what is usually done.

There was a shooting outside a grocery store down the road from us a couple of months ago. The initial reports just said what happened. Billy Bob,46, from Bumpkin County was taken into custody after allegedly blasting Bubba Joe,34, from Possum Creek with a shotgun.
They didn't add "no known motive." They'll discuss alleged motives later as the case develops.

279 258 A new genetic study proves the modern-day Lebanese are descendants of the ancient Canaanites (Phoenicians).

In the study, published in American Journal of Human Genetics, scientists managed to extract DNA from five people buried in the ancient city of Sidon 3,700 years ago and sequence their entire genomes.

The Canaanites' genetic material was found to be 93% similar to that of 99 modern Lebanese. This, despite the fact that the region was conquered several times over the course of history, and not always by close neighbors

325 Actually, as far as I know that isn't true. The majority of LEBANESE are "Levantines" -- i.e. Phoenician -- but almost all "Palestinians" are of Arab descent.

This was proven in a genetic study that was the focus of a PBS show about ten years ago. The show was actually on the subject of "Whatever happened to the Minoans?", and the theory is that after the eruption they migrated to the area the north-eastern end of the Mediterranean -- and founded the civlization that came to be known as "Phoenicia" -- where modern-day Lebanon is. Seeking to prove that

a. Phoenicia was the continuation of the Minoan civilization; and
b. The modern-day Lebanese are the descendants of the Phoenicians, the scientists in the show took DNA sample from an array of ethnically "Lebanese" people and indeed discovered that

a. They had genetic markers in common with some populations in the Greek islands (who themselves therefore were teh pther scattered survivors of the Minoans; and
b. They were distinctly DIFFERENT from the surrounding populations in Syria and Jordan and Palestine, who all were shown to be of Arab decent instead.

It is that last point -- a mere side-issue of the main study -- that concerns us here. As an accicentaly byproduct of the Lebanese/Phoenician DNA study, they also showed that "Palestinians" are of Arab descent.

A related theory -- that modern-day Palestinians might possible be descended from the Philistines -- is also untrue. Primarily because (to be frank) the Hebrews wiped the Philistines out in a series of wars. So there are no surviving Philistines either.

From a principal component analysis, You can look at them either as the most Arab of the Levantines or the most Levantine of the Arabs. The principal component studies show overlap with both ethnic Syrians, Jordanians and Arabians, whereas the Lebanese, Druze and Jews are definitely closer to each other than to them. On the other hand, if you do hierarchical clustering, you are right: they are emerge firmly in the middle of the Bedouin/Saudi/Jordanian clade. My problem with the latter is that human populations don't really act like clades much, so ideas of "descent" are less ethnographically useful.

There is a very recent paper that demonstrates that Bronze age Philistines abd Jordanians cluster with Lebanese. They weren't wiped out, but they didn't give rise to Palestinians either: that's just a bad joke. From a Pop Gen POV, both Jews and Lebanese seem to be Canaanites (LOL).

349 The U.S. Navy will commission the destroyer Rafael Peralta on Saturday morning in a ceremony at Naval Air Station North Island in San Diego, California, according to a Defense Department release.

The guided missile destroyer is named after Marine Corps Sgt. Rafael Peralta, who was killed in November 2004 during the Second Battle of Fallujah.

Peralta is credited with saving the lives of several Marines from a grenade blast, according to the Military Times Hall of Valor. He was posthumously awarded the Navy Cross.

Paraphrased from Wiki. Of course I'm of the opinion that STV was not actually any sort of proper ST series at all and was simply all an hallucination by a red shirt as he lay dying somewhere.

377 I am sure the refugee was reacting to someone telling him where he lived.

"This town is Hamburg, Germany, Abdul. The Merkel has insulted us, the kafir hog in crappy pantsuits. We are surrounded by infidels, drinking alcohol and eating ham in Hamburg."

Abdul mopes that there are not enough goats in his center, nor stupid white women to release his urges. Every time he sees the sign, "Welcome to Hamburg" he is furious. Therefore he finds a machete shop in a halal neighborhood and waits until the next Friday.

At least, this time, the Germans beat him up a wee bit. So there is progress. Unfortunately they will be fined for harming a refugee or even thinking about this. They are confused, mental, unsure of other excuses...perhaps thought it was Machete cutting Friday at the market.

I mean, just LOOK at the boatloads, going back and forth from Libya to Italy, the "women and children" being rescued (20-40yr old N. African males are considered this you infidel). All barefoot. All waiting patiently for the Merkel handouts and freeloading off the teat of Europe. Assimilate? You must be joking. Just pack 'em into a hotel owned by an 80 yr old (who probably lived through Hitler) as a new camp (this is a true story from last fall). No jobs. No problem, right Angela?

So he went back and the angle revealed to him that shaitan gave him some bum skinny, and it was indeed only alla. Thus the 'shaitanic verses' and Rushdie's ass in a sling. All for idol worship.
