On Sunday, a Muslim driver shouting “Allahu Akhbar” ran over 11 people in France. This time, the Islamic zealot “appeared to deliberately mow down about a dozen pedestrians in the French city of Dijon before being arrested,” reports NBC News.
According to a spokesman for the Ministry of the Interior, the driver managed to plow into pedestrians in five different locations in the city before he was finally stopped by authorities. Officials say his rampage resulted in the injury of 11 people, two of them suffering serious injury.
France has found itself at the epicenter of the jihadist attack against the West. The embattled country is still grieving the 130 victims butchered in Paris just a few weeks ago.
The suspect, who had a criminal history dating back to the 1990s, tapped into every Islamic grievance in the books. “According to testimonies on the scene, the driver also invoked ‘the children of Palestine’ to explain his actions” while plowing down human beings with his motor vehicle, notes NBC.
The car attack was preceded the day before by an attack on officer by another apparent radicalized Muslim who shot stabbed and wounded three officers in Tours while shouting “Allahu Akbar.”
In the wake of the Islamic terrorist attack in Paris, France plans on shutting down up to to 160 mosques in the next few months. French President Francois Hollande announced a state of emergency after the attacks, bolstering security measures across the country. Authorities argue that the mosques pose a threat to national security, operating as hubs of radicalism.
As The Daily Wire’s James Barrett reported, “French authorities are actually taking the real and present danger of radical Islamic terrorism seriously…they kicked down doors, closed three mosques (with plans to close potentially more than a hundred), and in the process found an alarming number of weapons, ammo, and terrorist propaganda.”
