The attacker, who is understood to have been arrested, shouted the Islamic phrase meaning God is great during the attack, according to reports in French media.

The 62-year-old victim, who is described as belonging to the orthodox Hasidic sect, was injured in the attack in the Jewish Quarter, 500 metres from the Great Synagogue of Strasbourg.

Named locally as Chalom Levy, he took refuge in a nearby bar befofe being taken to hospital.

Mendel Samama, a Strasbourg rabbi who visited him at the hospital, said Mr Levy described surviving the attack as a “miracle”.

It means “Our god is greater than your god.”

It’s falsely translated as “God” - which refers to the Jewish/Christian God if you’re using the English language.

Also falsely translated as “Our God is great.” That sounds safe and inclusive.

It’s actually a statement of their moon-god’s superiority to all other religions. Thus, justifying murder and the submission of infidels.

Allah Akbar does not mean God is great.

It means Allah is greater

A "my god is grater than your god" taunt. More media gaslighting

It actually means "Allah is Greater" (greater than YOUR God, infidel)

Too early to speculate on a motive in this alleged crime.

Just some crazy guy. Not terrorism at all, not motivated by Islam. Nothing to see here. /s/

Move along. No evidence that this was anything but a random act.

Motive remains unclear, it does not appear to be linked to terrorism and we must not judge all Muslims for the action of one, who was not a real Muslim anyway, etc. and so on.
I just thought I'd say it first.

He was looking for the snackbar when a rabbi attacked the knife with his body.

This is becoming all too frequent in the West. The irony that Democrats are going to have this fatal attraction turn on them. Can’t tame these wild animals.

No doubt it was workplace violence. I mean, it was probably close to someone's workplace, so it could be called workplace violence. S/

” The term “gaslighting” has been used colloquially since the 1960s[5] to describe efforts to manipulate someone’s sense of reality.”

” More media gaslighting”

You ain’t kidding! The propaganda organs have been manipulating our sense of reality to the point that normalcy is now considered insane or tabu. From marriage being between man and woman to man using the men’s bathroom and woman the women’s to even the existence of man and woman.

The “media” is enemy number one and it needs to be eviscerated.

Agree. These murderous attacks that are clearly forbidden by the 10 commandments given to Moses by the real God. When these terrorists kill in the name of ‘Allahu Akbar’ it proves that their god is evil. To substitute their god in name with the real God of the Bible is a blasphemy.

Any Christian that says that Muslims and Christian worship the same God are blaspheming.

"Jewish rabbi stabbed by man shouting 'Allahu Akbar' in French religious attack"

No, no, no! The headline should read:

Concerned citizen slashes rabbi by accident while rushing to return dangerous knife to snack bar.
