Ramadan in the Netherlands: Axe-waving Muslim screaming “Allahu akbar” stabs police dog to death
More on this story. It was not revealed in earlier stories that this Muslim was screaming “Allahu akbar,” marking his attack as an act of Islamic piety. And as I noted yesterday, killing dogs is an act of Islamic piety:
