This got a good chuckle outta me.
Some guy says "allahu akbar" and a paranoid security officer goes and shoots him dead with a pistol.
[quote]The guard opened fire after the man, in an adjacent restroom, was heard shouting "Allahu Akbar," Arabic for "God is greatest", police spokesman Micky Rosenfeld said.
Rosenfeld said the guard opened fire with his pistol because he suspected the man was a Palestinian militant. The victim turned out to be an Israeli Jew in his 40s.
"The fact he shouted Allahu Akbar, that seems to be why the security guard drew his weapon and [b]fired a number of shots at him[/b]," he said.[/quote]

Edited by Swim Good: 6/25/2013 10:13:54 AMNot to sound callous but, knowing how Israelis tend not to fuck about when it comes to defending themselves, it probably wasn't the wisest thing to shout at a Jewish holy site. Like Oleg said below, it's what terrorists are thought to shout prior to detonating themselves.
