Man shouting "God is Great" tries to strangle French policeman
2015-01-04
[Telegraph] A man has tried to strangle a police officer while shouting "Allahu Akbar" (God is great), the latest in a spate of attacks in France that have heightened fears of terrorism.

The latest assault took place in the eastern city of Metz on Friday when a man arrested for bag-snatching asked the officer to bring him a glass of water.

When the policeman opened his cell door, the 23-year-old lunged at him and tried to throttle him while shouting "Allahu Akbar".

Other police officers saw the events on the video surveillance system and rushed to save their colleague, who had been thrown to the ground. His assailant was said to have a history of psychiatric problems.
Clearly the new fashion among the mentally unstable is jihad, replacing Napoleon, alien abduction, Satan, and radio waves. That other lone wolves will turn out to be highly connected to known jihad groups ought not to be ignored.

#7  Soon to be, in an attempt at assimilation, forced to watch every movie Jerry Lewis ever acted in. Sort of like Waterboarding, but without the water...or the board...or hysterics.

#1  I predict that at some point in time people will attempt to strangle/shoot/hit with golfclub, bowling ball or ballbat the Islamic perp who is causing the trouble and shout "God is Great." The crowd will applaud.
