Venice Italy’s Mayor says people who shout ‘Allahu akbar’ in St. Mark’s Square will be shot

WaTimes: The mayor of Venice, Italy, turned heads during a conference Tuesday after he reportedly threatened that anyone who yells “Allahu akbar,” or “God is the greatest” in Arabic, in the city’s main square will be shot on sight.

Luigi Brugnaro, an Independent, made the threat while speaking in Rimini about the recent attack in Barcelona, Spain, where 13 people were killed and 130 injured when terrorists drove a van down the popular tourist street, La Rambla, The Times reported.

“In contrast with Barcelona, where they had not set up protection, we keep our guard up,” Mr. Brugnaro was quoted as saying. “If anyone runs into St. Mark’s Square shouting ‘Allahu akbar,’ we will take him down. A year ago I said after four steps, now after three. I will say it in Venetian: ‘Ghe Sparemo’ [We will shoot him].”

“In Venice, we arrested four terrorists who wanted to blow up the Rialto Bridge, saying they wanted to go to Allah. But we’ll send them straight to Allah before they can do any damage,” he added, Business Insider UK reported.  MORE

  1. If We Could Only set Up Laser Guns to Pinpoint Shoot anyone Audibly Saying “Allah Anything” ! I’m For Free Speech, it’s the Resulting Action I’d be Targeting !

  2. Good mayor! But I have a “cleaner” suggestion: Shoot anyone who thinks allahu akbar.

    Why do I describe the suggestion as cleaner? Aren’t all SWAPs required to think that at least 5 times a day? Just assume a Muslim is thinking like a Muslim. Easy peasy.

    And we should work on relaxing the geographic constraints.
