Australia Police: No Extremist Motive Found in Hostel Attack
AP via ABC ^ | Aug 25, 2016 | KRISTEN GELINEAU

Australian police were investigating whether a French man accused of fatally stabbing a British woman while shouting the Arabic phrase "Allahu akbar" had a romantic obsession with her, an official said Thursday.

Police in Queensland state said there was no indication the attack at a northeast Australian hostel was motivated by extremism. But they are looking into whether the suspect, 29-year-old Smail Ayad, had been rejected by 21-year-old Mia Ayliffe-Chung before police say he stabbed her to death on Tuesday, Queensland Police Detective Superintendent Ray Rohweder said.

"That is one of the lines of inquiry that we are conducting. There is certainly, at this stage, no indication that — certainly from Mia's point of view — that there was any sort of romantic connection," Rohweder told reporters.

Though police said Ayad shouted "Allahu akbar" — the Arabic phrase meaning "God is great" — both during the attack and while being arrested, there was no evidence he had been motivated by any extremist ideology, Rohweder said.

"There is absolutely no indication of any form of radicalization or any political motive in this matter," he said.

Progressives are very loyal to their Moslem bedfellows.

the Arabic phrase meaning “God is great”

No, it doesn’t.
It means Allah is greatest
Islam is about supremacy

The Queensland police spokeswoman came out within an hour of the murder and told assembled reporters that there was “No religious connection to the crime, none.” ... Not “No evidence at this time to suggest...” Or anything like that. Purely declarative that it wasn’t terrorism.

The police there have their marching orders.

People shouting Allahu Akbar aren’t Buddhists or Christians

Gee I bet they had news like this back during the rise of Hitler? No, Jews are just being sent to happy camps. When will the regime send out the van with the children paintings on the side of the van? Happy music coming out of speakers for us? /s?

well if it wasn’t EXTREME radical muslims, we must assume that he was behaving as a normal muslim.

The globalists are not going to profit by denying these folks are connected to radical islam. They will just re-affirm that this is normal islamic behavior.

See what they (the global Progressives) did there? First they insisted that we stop saying terrorism or jihadis or simply Devout Muslims to describe these attacks.

They insisted on “extremism”.

Then they become commonplace and not really a surprise anymore. Almost a dog bites man story.

And suddenly they aren’t “extreme” anymore.

But if a white, nominally Christian man does something, it is not commonplace and is, therefore “extremism”.

Which, we all know is a euphemism for “terrorism”.

So, only a white person can be a racist. Only a white person can be greedy. And only a white person can now be a terrorist.

They have done Goebbels proud!

Load your magazines America. It’s coming at us fast!

“There is absolutely no indication of any form of radicalization or any political motive in this matter,” he said.

In other words, Islam is the problem, not radicalization or politics.

If I do anything bad I must remember to immediately and loudly say, "Allahu Akbar!" to everyone within earshot.
Probably a good technique if a police officer pulls you over. Get it on the dashcam and bodycam. Officer won't wish to look like he/she is focusing on Muslims.
Now just need the appropriate clothing for the ruse! Muslims can do anything and get away with it.

I agree. There is nothing “extreme” about a Muslim killing someone while shouting “Allah Akbar” ... happens every day all over the world. It’s just plain, ol’ ordinary Islam.
