A young Muslim man waged a jihad-like rant last week using the familiar battle cry, “Allah Akbar,” but it didn’t happen in Mosul or even Baghdad — it took place in small, Midwestern Indiana.
It's actually "Allahu Akbar", but what's a letter? In any event, it certainly livened things up in sleepy Muncie, Indiana when 24 year-old Khalid Bilal attempted to convert a store employee to Islam. Upon being rebuffed, he flew into a rage; striking and choking employees, yelling that he was going kill everyone there, and generally exhibiting the serenity and peacefulness so often associated with those of the Islamic persuasion. But wouldn't you know it - somebody called the cops.
Bilal then tried to break the hand of an officer attempting too place him in custody and charged at another. Police finally resorted to the use of a taser to restrain him and place him in handcuffs, WISH-TV 8 News reported.
But Bilal wasn’t finished — he repeatedly kicked at the officers with both feet while shouting “Allah Akbar,” or Allah is great.
Law enforcement reported that Bilal continued attacking them even after he was admitted to the hospital while attempting to restrain him to the hospital bed.
Bilal was preliminarily charged with battery of police, resisting law enforcement, disorderly conduct, battery with injury, intimidation and strangulation.
Surely it was all due to a cultural misunderstanding...they tend to go with that "convert or die" thing, and a lot of people just don't understand that.
