This is what is up on LGF about the tape....
UPDATE at 2/15/07 6:00:14 pm:
There appears to be a controversy over whether the video of the rampage contains evidence that Talovic shouted “Allahu akbar!” during his killing spree. My email to Allahpundit on this:

No way. I made my living by listening closely to recorded sounds and music for many years, and I’d bet big money that the ‘allahu akbar’ chant is not on that tape. There’s a very characteristic sing-song quality to the chant, that you can hear even in last-minute suicide bomber tapes, and I do not hear that at all in the SLC video.
Not there. Nope.

The case is still open as to whether Islamism was a factor, but if there’s evidence to be found, it isn’t in this video recording.
Agreed. I lived for years in a muslim culture and while I have forgotten most of the Arabic I learned, I do not believe that the tape contains "Allahu akbar" which is pronounced with a particular accent. The fact that he probably did not speak Arabic is not relevent, since all Muslims would know that Islamic chant.
