New in PJ Media:
Centuries from now, historians will look back at the first quarter of the twenty-first century and shake their heads in wonder. “This was an age,” they will say, “when people were at war with reality. They actually thought that if they believed fervently enough in falsehoods, their cherished untruths would become true. They thought that if everyone was forced to play along, men could become women. They thought that if they refused to accept unwanted realities, those realities would disappear.” An incident on the venerable Erasmus Bridge in the Netherlands’ old port city of Rotterdam late Thursday night bears that out.
The Associated Press reported Thursday that “one person was killed and another seriously wounded in a stabbing incident” in Rotterdam, and that the local cops arrested a man in connection with the stabbings. So far, this is a fairly straightforward account of a type of crime that has become distressingly common all over Western Europe: a man in a busy city center begins stabbing people at random, killing as many as he can. In this case, an eyewitness said that the attacker was “out to attack as many people as possible.”
But here’s where this story takes a sharp left turn into one of our most popular modern-day fantasylands. A spokesman for the Rotterdam police, Wessel Stolle, “said there was no immediate word on a motive, but ‘we look into all possible scenarios.’” Well, not so fast, Wessel. The AP report goes on to say that “Dutch daily De Telegraaf, citing witnesses at the scene, reported that a man attacked people at random with two knives while shouting Allahu Akbar, the Arabic phrase meaning God is great.”
“Allahu akbar” doesn’t actually mean “God is great.” It means “Allah is greater,” that is, greater than your god. It’s a declaration of the victory and supremacy of Islam that Islamic jihadis often shout while they are in the midst of an attack, as they believe that the phrase strikes terror in the hearts of non-Muslims, which the Qur’an commands them to do (8:60). The jihadis believe that their violent attacks manifest the victory and supremacy of Islam, and so it’s the perfect time for them to proclaim that fact.
When the attacker at the Erasmus Bridge shouted “Allahu akbar,” he was helpfully providing police with all the information they really need about his motive. And the police most definitely are in possession of this information: Stolle, who is no empty Wessel, “said police at the scene also had heard that the man shouted the phrase, and that ‘it’s part of the investigation.’”
There is more. Read the rest here.

Let’s hope the Dutch police don’t put forward the excuse of he being temporarily of unsound mind, ‘cos there are TOO many instances of Allah’s followers being that way all over the place

“Islam is peace and love. Islam is peace and love…..”. (Pope Francis, George Bush, woke leftist politicians). “I do believe in spooks. I do believe in spooks. I do I do I do I do I do…..” (cowardly lion)
Which one got it right? I vote for the cowardly lion.

If one is sincerely looking for the Truth, that one will find it. If one pretends to search, but is really looking for a way to cover the Truth, lies will be accepted.
The people who depend on the police to do their *policing* work, are many, while the ones honestly doing the policing, are in short supply. Either they have been ordered to do cover-up work, or they are personally too afraid to do their job as it is supposed to be done.
At one time, there were no police agencies. Each individual was responsible for his own safety and that of his family. The man who bravely went forth to rescue his fellow citizen, may have to become the example for many, many others in the days to come.

Seems very appropriate in Rotterdam.

According to the feature article:
“A spokesman for the Rotterdam police, Wessel Stolle, “said there was no immediate word on a motive, but ‘we look into all possible scenarios.’”
The reality:
All possible scenarios EXCEPT those involving islamic teachings.
