Dijon, France - Driver targets city pedestrians while shouting "Allahu Ackbar"
December 22, 2014 at 6:49 am
http://www.bbc.com/news/world-europe-30571911
Quote: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".
The lives of the two people seriously injured in Dijon are not said to be in danger.
Witnesses told police the driver, aged around 40, had also said he was "acting for the children of Palestine", an unnamed source close to the investigation told AFP news agency.
So religion, hey?... Does wonders for people!

Religion and mental illness - not good bedfellows.
The fool hath said in his heart, There is a God. They are corrupt, they have done abominable works, there is none that doeth good.

Does anyone else see that and think that terrorists are getting lazy?

Just so you know, the phrase is translated accurately - Allah is greatest.
Why doesn't the media tell the truth about that?

The truth about what? The accurate translation, or the greatness of Allah?

And YHWH of the OT keeps waving his foam finger and yelling I'm number One, I'm number One!
Compensating perhaps?
So how, exactly, does God know that She's NOT a brain in a vat?
