Vehicular Jihad Comes to Manhattan, the Usual Denial and Willful Ignorance Follows

Vehicular jihad
On October 31, 2017 in lower Manhattan, a Muslim migrant from Uzbekistan named Sayfullo Saipov drove a rented truck along a bicycle path, killing eight people and injuring numerous others. Saipov appeared in court last Monday, and told Judge Vernon Broderick in Uzbek: “The orders issued here have nothing to do with me. I am following orders of Allah, who gave me life.†An onlooker might be forgiven for thinking that his mass murder spree in Manhattan had something to do with Islam, despite the best efforts of our moral superiors to convince us that jihad terror has nothing, nothing whatsoever, to do with the Religion of Peace.
It’s actually quite obvious that Saipov did his killing in service to Allah. The New York Daily News reported at the time of Saipov’s attack that he “yelled ‘Allahu Akbar!’ — Arabic for ‘God is great!’ — after running the riders down from behind, their mangled bodies left scattered behind his runaway white pickup.†(Actually “Allahu akbar†doesn’t mean “God is great,†it means “Allah is greater,†i.e., greater than your god.)
