A couple of weeks ago a mentally disturbed Filipina ran amok with a machete on a bus and in a shopping center in the Ukkel district of Brussels. She wounded three people before being shot and arrested by police. There is still no official word of any motive for the crime other than madness. However, it’s worth noting that the woman is clearly wearing what seems to be hijab in the video taken when she was shot.
Many thanks to Dr. Van Helsing for translating this Dutch TV report, and to Vlad Tepes for the subtitling:

Interesting she was mentally disturbed. It’s another one! This morning on the radio I heard the not-so-dulcet tones of the Australian Prime Minister suggesting that ‘radicalisation’ often had to do with mental illness. It’s time the mentally ill rose up in protest.
Yes, we simply must remain vigilant in the War against Mental Illness.
I’m so sick of the cover-ups by the authorities worldwide as they scream nothing to do with Islamic terrorism.It’s an insult to my intelligence that they believe I am capable of swallowing such blatantly obvious lies.
Sorry should read”nothing to do with Islamic terrorism”.Forgot those pesky quotation marks.
Ah, that old “mental illness” dodge, not of the Muslims, but of the authorities! Works every time! Who’s mentally ill, these days? Our craven cowards, or the criminals bent on committing jihad?
We are not far off from the time when victims will be traduced as attention seekers wilfully hurling themselves on the blade of some innocent Muslim quietly going about their lawful business with a machete ( as you do)
Two police officers were just attacked in Molenbeek with a knife. One was stabbed six times in the stomach, the other once.
Luckily both were wearing bulletproof vests so they are not seriously injured: http://www.hln.be/hln/nl/957/Binnenland/article/detail/2853698/2016/09/07/Twee-agenten-met-mes-aangevallen-in-Molenbeek-wellicht-geen-terreurdaad.dhtml
The incident has nothing to do with islam and that it happened in Molenbeek is merely a coincidence.
Can the news get any worse? I have to fortify myself each day before reading.
However, I do think people reach a limit and it’s approaching. I cannot imagine what life in Europe is these days (I can but I don’t enjoy it).
I do wish people were more educated in history — this has happened before. The Gates of Vienna is well-named but I wonder how many realize what it means, in the historical sense.
Baron and Dymphna, thank you for all you do. I don’t see any of this in the ‘main-stream” media.
P.S. When I said I’d send you a little something to help, I didn’t expect to be pole-axed by a young grand-daughter (she got the money). But I haven’t forgotten and I will come through — soon!
The woman was probably a card carrying member of Abu Sayyef, the Philippine Islamic terrorist group.
