It is not that they’re searching for the attacker’s motive because they think the attacker might have known his victims and had some personal reason for attacking them. They know the stabbings were random. And it’s not that they’re searching for the attacker’s motive because some people say he screamed “Allahu akbar” but some say he didn’t; even the police heard him scream “Allahu akbar,” which doesn’t mean “God is great,” as AP claims below, but “Allah is greater,” that is, greater than your god. They’re searching for the attacker’s motive because, while that motive is blazingly obvious, it cuts against their most cherished beliefs about Islam and peaceful coexistence, and so they have to struggle mightily to pretend that they don’t see it, and try to find something else upon which they can blame the attack.

“Police: 1 person killed and another seriously injured in a stabbing in Rotterdam,” Associated Press, September 19, 2024:
THE HAGUE, Netherlands — One person was killed and another seriously wounded in a stabbing incident late Thursday in the Dutch port city of Rotterdam, police said. Police arrested a suspect who was also injured.
Police spokesman Wessel Stolle said officers were investigating the stabbing near the landmark Erasmus Bridge. Stolle said there was no immediate word on a motive, but “we look into all possible scenarios.”
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.
Stolle said police at the scene also had heard that the man shouted the phrase, and that “it’s part of the investigation.”
A sports instructor, Reniël Renato David Litecia, said he hit the attacker with two sticks after seeing him attack somebody and managed to take the knives and throw them away.
He said he initially thought it was a fight, “but when I started running in that direction I saw that it wasn’t a fight. It was a man with two long knives who was stabbing another young guy and when I started shouting he turned around and started approaching everyone who was around him.”
Another police spokesperson, Kristel Arntz…said it was too early in the investigation to establish a motive.
“We have arrested a suspect, we are going to question him. We will look at all the witness statements and then we will look at what the possible motive was,” she said….

right : “allah is greater,” that is = greater than your god : take a look on “qur’an”

Another musrat in desperate need for a Hezbollah pager.
Why oh why couldn’t Islam be a suicide cult? Then the garbage would take itself out…stupidly pedo-moh decided to invent a cult of hate/mass rape and genocide instead and set into motion an endless war to destroy all civilizations on this planet.
Meanwhile the geniuses we’re surrounded by can barely tie their own shoelaces let alone figure out that Abdul is going on his happy killing spree when he mindlessly barks those magic words.
It is self-defense if we wipe out Islam as we did Nazism…the problem is that we still don’t want to accept the truth in the West that Muslims are at war with us….”Not all.”
It feels like the Twilight Zone episode where the pod-people (body snatchers) are taking over and nobody seems to notice.
Rick Smith says
So I guess we have to all just sit around and wait for the next attack when another Muslim kills or injures a few people so the rest of us feel temporarily safe again, until the next attack.
And our authorities can remind us that they have no motive after one million Muslims carry out a terrorist attack of their own.
Maybe they feel that math is acceptable for millions of non-Muslims to get killed/injured as a result…they kill, we ignore. Don’t think, don’t question, don’t see patterns, don’t connect the dots…and whatever you do never admit Muslims are trying to kill you.

I don’t watch television but I’ve just checked the BBC News website and I can’t see any report on this incident in the Europe section. They have a report on a transgender person stabbed to death in Georgia. Tragic, but it happened indoors and the suspect was known to the victim. I would have thought the threat of getting stabbed in the public street by a random stranger would be of more interest and concern to the public, but what do I know?

In the regular run-of-the-mill murder…which is horrible enough….police look for a ‘motive’ (a reason) because, usually, they must find out *why* so they can find out *who.*
If police saw a man standing over his wife, stabbing her or beating her, they would then ask him his ‘motive.’ But they would have some pretty good ideas ‘why’ before asking.
When a man/woman is stabbed by a stranger, the motive is sought so there is a direction to go for finding the perp.
The cops, by now, know the *reason*…(motive; motivation) mozlums have for their acts of terrorism, murder, beatings, rapes, threats. The *reason* is shouted just about every time the evil deed is committed.
Terrorist Tim McVeigh read a book, “The Turner Diaries” and was *motivated* so he schemed, planned and carried out mass murder.
mozlum terrorists and their supporters, read their book of demon filth, or they hear it read at their local barracks, or quoted in their home and they scheme, plan and carry out their evil actions.
The cops have just been told not to put the blame where it belongs….with islam and its book of demon filth, and with those who demand that the book be followed so ilsam can take over the world.

Very tragically true.

Netherlands: Muslim screaming ‘Allahu akbar’ stabs two people, killing one, cops search for motive
Duh, that’s DENIAL people, there is no searching for motive because you fools should have read Reliance of the Traveller: Islamic Sacred Law before allowing any Muslim into the country. Now your wondering how to get them out of your nation.

Wilfully Blnd police investigators once again search for motive where assailant obeyed the instruction in the Koran to cut their necks as directed by Muhammad.
࿗Infidel࿘ says
Since Wilders is the Home Minister, he should mandate that cops watch his movie Fitna that he made decades back. Once they watch it, they won’t have to search for motives
OLD GUY says
Cops always search for motive. But when a muslim/islamic person is yelling Allah – Akbar the motive for attacking someone is fairly evident.
James Lincoln says
The cops have explicit instructions to automatically exclude islamic teachings as a motive.
No matter how abundant the evidence.
