The attacker, whose identity was not immediately available, was arrested and taken to Mount Sinai Beth Israel, according to a high-ranking police source.

He was also shouting “Allahu akbar” — a common Muslim prayer that has also been co-opted by religious extremists — when he was arrested, sources said.

Cops are investigating any possible terror ties, according to sources.

Huh.

[Vigilanteman]

Mount Sinai Beth Israel has to patch up a jihadi? Why?

[conservative98]

That’s the correct spelling.

[monkeyshine]

What’s a straphanger? Slang for subway rider (hanging onto straps as the train moves, that’s my best guess).

[VietVet876]

So they can run an IV of bacon juice through him.

Islam is this...…

[dinodino]

That’s correct.

[Political Junkie Too]

At first glance, I thought it said "stranger."

Probably screamed by Mohammed during his first desert raids, so I doubt it was "co-opted".

Nope. Try again.

“He was also shouting “Allahu akbar” — a common Muslim prayer that has also been co-opted by religious extremists — when he was arrested, sources said.”

[mewzilla]

Co-opt...

“divert to or use in a role different from the usual or original one.”

Ok, who’s got that Inigo Montoya meme for the good folks at the NYP....?

[neverevergiveup]

The proper commentary should have been:

"Any religion that teaches hate, and that is not tolerant of the beliefs of others, and that has as it's goal supremacy over all other religions, and that believes it is righteous to kill those who do no believe as them - or those who have left that religion, is absolutely incompatible with the ideals of America. Further, if the adherents of that religion believe they are justified in attacking America, from within or outside America, they are then a threat to America and need to be treated as such."

It’s what jihadists yell to let us know “this has nothing to do with Islam”...../s

What KIND of "religious extremists" would that be?
Would that be Christian extremists?...Jewish extremists?...Buddhist extremists?...Hindu extremists?

Utter horse$#!t

[Lurkinanloomin]

What an idiot GWB was.

[vpintheak]

One of the biggest crocks of bovine excrement ever uttered.

[bigbob]

Amish and Presbyterians say that all the time /s

[fuzzylogic]

Considering this happened (yesterday?) in Germany at Frankfurt train station I would put bets down that this has been decided to be a specific attack vector.

They’re going after the very insecure train infrastructure.
