Two policewomen were attacked and wounded with a machete by an attacker who shouted “Allahu Akbar” outside a police station in the Belgian city of Charleroi on Saturday.

The attacker, a man, was shot by a third officer, Charleroi police said on Twitter. He later died in hospital, according to Belgian national broadcaster RTBF.

Police said the attacker shouted "Allahu Akbar" ("God is great" in Arabic) as he lunged at the officers outside a police station.

One of the police officers suffered severe face wounds. Her colleague was only slightly injured.

“Maybe the press will blame this on Rio...”

Blame it on the Bossa Nova.
A conga line of jihadis were al-peaceably making their way to Mecca, when they were set upon by racist Belgian gendarmes wielding lethal sprouts, inflamed by a Walloon youtube.
The fascist, racist Belgium Islamophobes are being prosecuted for offending moslems everywhere.

The Islamists’ patented consanguinity technology has enabled them to produce tens of thousands of “high-tech” weapons annually — at little or no cost for the Islamists.

The weapons are mass produced in Islamist societies by 40-percent or so of the population.

The Islamists even deploy their weapons and weapons producing facilities to welcoming countries all over the world. More here in the FR thread.

Once in the enemy countries the Islamists' weapons use politically correct-based stealth technology to openly carry out attacks but avoid blame.

Every time there is an attack anywhere in the world in the Name of Islam the US should drop something HUGE on an Isis stronghold and post video on YouTube/Facebook with the title IN RETALIATION OF XXXXX. Want some more?

Tragic. Now we’ll never know what drove him to such a desperate act.

Nope, they’ll blame it on Trump for angering them because he has the audacity to ask why a Muslim woman was not allowed to talk.

Obviously mentally ill. He was starving and wanted food (therefore, “I want a snack bar”).

I think that it ACTUALLY means "My god is greater"

Many think so but "akbar" is both a comparative and a superlative adjective, and in the phrase it should be translated "most great." To the muslims it would be an impiety to suggest that Allah is comparable to any other god, or indeed to anything.

Corporatism-Big Banks, Big Business, Big Government come together to ‘unite the world’.

Cheap labor and porous borders do not equal peace and prosperity for all.

I wonder if the attacker waved a copy of the Constitution in the faces of the policewomen first?

If not, why not? That is the way it's done nowadays...

Exactly. We can’t care more than they do.

Well the brilliant, insightful Belgian Prime Minister thinks it is just possible that the machete attack might be terrorism. What gave him a clue, was it the “Allahu Akbar”????

“Belgian premier says machete attack may be terrorism”
