It doesn't say it in the story, as is the fashion, but I'm pretty sure this is another piece of islamic terrorism, who wants to bet against?

You may have missed the bit in your link that says:

"The man's motive is not yet clear but the incident is being treated as terrorism.

Police sources quoted in local media said the man was heard shouting "Allahu Akbar" ("God is greatest" in Arabic)."

Does that help?

//Police sources quoted in local media said the man was heard shouting "Allahu Akbar" ("God is greatest" in Arabic).\\

Mmmm. Tough one. Where have I heard that before?

[dannyk13]

TTT, the moral is read the article before posting.

[ToraToraTora]

I did read it, it did not say that at the time.

[Mamyalynne]

As I commented on the other thread about this.

Vile person, people must have been terrified.

[dannyk13]

It says it in your link TTT.

Bit late but it does state
///Police sources quoted in local media said the man was heard shouting "Allahu Akbar" ("God is greatest" in Arabic).///

TTT

The story was last updated 56 minutes ago (it says so at the top of the page).

That was 14:20.

You posted your question at 14:39, which is 19 minutes after the story was last updated.

Therefore, how comes you didn’t see that it was already being treated as an act of terrorism?

Do you think that in your haste, you didn’t read all of the story?

[ToraToraTora]

ok so I'm right, thanks guys!

[dannyk13]

How are you right? In what respect?

[ToraToraTora]

"The man's motive is not yet clear but the incident is being treated as terrorism." - so what part of "slay the infidel" is unclear! SFF!

[ToraToraTora]

I'm correct that it's "another piece of islamic terrorism" - do keep up danny!

[dannyk13]

Your words:-
//It doesn't say it in the story, as is the fashion//
You were wrong.

[ToraToraTora]

I was wrong about that but correct that it was an act of terrorism.

[dannyk13]

As was suggested in the article.

//"The man's motive is not yet clear //

There's a further section linked to in the article called "Why has Belgium's capital been attacked?"

Theory one is "unemploymen".

Theory two is the "anger when the government [banned] women from wearing a full Islamic veil in public".

So that's two plausible explanations.

But then, with a clear break from this nonsense and the "Nothing to do with Islam" orthodoxy we get:

"Many trace Belgium's problem with Islamism to its decision in the 1970s to allow Saudi Arabia to construct the city's Great Mosque. The Saudis also sent over a large number of imams to preach a hardline, Salafist form of Islam...Critics believe the Salafist influence, combined with a lax approach by authorities over a 20-year period, helped jihadism to spread".

It was a Salafist mosque, of course, which gave us the Manchester bomber. I wonder if Ms Rudd knew this, or, if she did, thought it relevant.

//I'm correct that it's "another piece of islamic terrorism"//

Is...is this whole thread just something you've raised so that you can receive praise on your predictive abilities?

I mean...really?

[youngmafbog]

Lets all slate TTT so we can divert from the uncomfortable truth the beloved religion is at it again eh?

If you set yourself up , people will knock you down, it's as simple as that!.
