Greece: Muslim migrant starts running along Metro tracks, screams ‘Allahu akbar,’ kicks, hits and spits at cops

He may have been planning a jihad terror attack, or he may simply have wanted to “strike terror in the enemies of Allah” (Qur’an 8:60). Either way, here yet again we see “Allahu akbar” used in a context that is clearly meant to be menacing to non-Muslims. Recently the Hamas-linked Council on American-Islamic Relations (CAIR) was enraged at Fox News for noticing that Islamic jihad terrorists so often invoke their deity while in the midst of acts of murder and mayhem. CAIR explained that it wrote to Fox, asking that the network correct its description of the phrase “Allahu akbar” as a “terror chant.” CAIR (which has well-documented ties to Hamas) wrote: “‘Allahu Akbar’ simply means ‘God is Greatest’ or ‘God is Great’ in Arabic. It is one of the most common expressions used by some two billion Muslims worldwide in daily prayers, celebrations, times of grief, and ordinary conversation.”

Fox caved in, of course, and sure, Muslims scream this phrase in a variety of contexts, but CAIR did not bother to explain (and no one asked it to) why jihad terrorists so frequently scream it in settings where it is clearly designed to terrorize unbelievers. They do not just happen to be making a declaration of the greatness of Allah while stabbing or beheading someone. Their shout of “Allahu akbar” is meant to indicate that Allah is showing himself to be greater precisely in and through the act of violence at hand.

This is because the Qur’an designates Muslims as the executors of Allah’s wrath in this world: “Fight them, and Allah will punish them by your hands, and he will lay them low and give you victory over them, and he will heal the hearts of people who are believers, and he will remove the anger of their hearts.” (9:14-15)

If Allah punishes the unbelievers by the hands of the Muslims, then when the Muslims attack unbelievers, they are acting as the instruments of Allah, and so they proclaim his name. The attack also shows that Allah is greater, greater than the god of the unbelievers. For if the infidels’ god were greater than Allah, he would be able to protect his people and prevent the slaves of Allah from attacking them. The fact that the attack takes place at all indicates that Allah is more powerful than the unbelievers’ deity, and hence greater.

“Sudanese arrested after entering Metro tunnel shouting “Allahu Akbar”,” translated from “Σουδανός συνελήφθη όταν μπήκε μέσα στο τούνελ του Μετρό και φώναζε «Αλλάχ Άκμπαρ»,” by Frixos Drakontides, Proto Thema, July 26, 2026:

The alarm was raised on the afternoon of Friday, July 24, at the Authorities, when a man of Sudanese origin got off the Metro tracks at Agia Paraskevi and began to move on foot in the tunnel towards the Chalandri station. His presence on the railway tracks caused immediate mobilization, as in addition to the risk to his life, an uncontrolled movement in the tunnel could lead to a serious incident for the safe operation of the line.

According to information from Protothema, the incident began at approximately 15:25, when the Emergency Response Center reported a foreign man who had gotten off the platforms of Agia Paraskevi station and was walking on foot along the railway lines towards Chalandri.

The police officers of the Northeast Attica Zeus team, who were on a scheduled vehicle patrol duty in the wider Chalandri area that day, between 13:00 and 19:00, immediately headed to the scene.

Approximately ten minutes later, at 15:35, they arrived at the Chalandri station and contacted the stationmaster. As stated in their report, they were informed that the man was approximately 200 meters inside the tunnel, towards Agia Paraskevi, on the route towards Doukissis Plakentias.

The situation they now had to face was extremely dangerous. The police officers went down to the platforms and moved towards the interior of the tunnel at the risk of their lives.

About 200 meters from the station they spotted the man inside the tunnel. The police officers made their presence known to him and called him to get off the tracks.

However, he did not comply with their exhortations and orders.

The police officers moved towards him in order to immobilize him. Then, as they report, the man began to resist vigorously, push them and attempt to escape.

The tension escalated inside the subway tunnel where any wrong move could be dangerous, due to the electrical installations and the railway infrastructure itself.

During the fight, the man began to shout “alah akbar, ramazan bairam”, as well as other phrases that they could not understand.

At the same time, he kicked them hard, spat at them and attempted to hit them with fists, elbows and even with his head.

The police officers tried to handcuff him, while there was a serious risk of injury or even death due to the high voltage of electricity on the lines.

They finally managed to immobilize him and arrest him.
