Venice mayor: Anyone who shouts 'Allahu Akbar' will be shot

[Varun]

Cops in Venice have been told to shoot potential terrorists on sight.

The Italian city's mayor has ordered them to target anyone shouting "Allahu Akbar", Arabic for God is Greater.

Luigi Brugnaro, mayor of the tourist hot spot of Venice, revealed the order at a summer think tank and was applauded by delegates.

He said: “Anyone who shouts Allahu Akbar in St Mark's Square can expect to be gunned down by snipers within four paces.

"We need to increase our security when it comes to terrorism. We had four would be terrorists arrested in Venice a few months ago who wanted to blow up the Rialto bridge.

"They said they wanted to go and meet Allah so we will send them straight to Allah without having to throw them off the bridge, we will just shoot them."

Last night he added: "I have never been politically correct, in fact I am politically correct and that’s why we also need a naval blockade against people coming into Italy from north Africa."

The cry Allahu Akbar was first used by the Prophet Muhammad in the seventh century before he went into battle.

Sadly it has come to this.

I don't see anything wrong with this. "Allahu Akbar" has become more of a "I'm about to blow myself up and kill hundreds of innocent people" slogan instead of a chant praising Allah.

Allahu Akbar is just the Arabic translation for "God is great". This is why us Muslims have gone down the hill recently. We focus on what the something is instead of what it means. You don't necessarily have to shout it out if you need God. You can just think of Him and he'll be at your aid.

Even when the Prophet used Allahu Akbar it was before he went into battle, not in the middle of the street without a purpose.

Pure publicity stunt and gimmick.

Its going to be good intelligence that will hunt down these nut cases and you get good intelligence you get when you have members of the community infiltrating these networks.

That's the reality - not the nonsense Fox News would wish us to believe.

Good intelligence cannot capture 100% of the cases.
And multilayered approach is needed.

I hope tourist would now feel little better.

The Italians are having a hard time of it since Gaddafi's overthrow, the amount of Africans flooding into the country through Libya is out of control. Libyans are turning to human trafficking as a livelihood with gangs springing up everywhere.

The Libyan intervention has worked out badly for the Italians but not so bad for the Brits or Americans who led the fight against the evil Gaddafi regime. So Allahhu Akbar for the Allies.

This is sad that people can be so ignorant.
