Three Stabbed at Swiss Train Station by Man Shouting ‘Allahu Akbar’

Three people have been stabbed at a train station in Switzerland by a 31 year-old man shouting "Allahu Akbar". Police say the motive remains unclear.

A knife-wielding maniac has stabbed three people in Switzerland after launching a violent attack at a train station.The Mail has the more:

The incident at the Winterthur railway station unfolded on Thursday morning when a 31 year-old Swiss man wounded three people with a bladed weapon.

Multiple witnesses claimed that the knifeman shouted “Allahu Akbar”, an Arabic phrase meaning God is ​great, as he unleashed his violent rampage, according to local media. 

Footage from the scene showed the alleged knifeman running past a group of terrified young school children as their teacher tried to shield them. 

One person was seriously wounded, and two others sustained moderate injuries and were hospitalised, Blick reports. The victims are all Swiss citizens aged 28, 43 and 52. 

The motive for the attack is currently unclear, and the police are investigating all possible leads. 

One passerby told news outlet Blick: “I heard a man behind me shout ‘Allahu Akbar’ five or six times in a very emotional and agitated manner.”

Images shared by several Swiss media outlets and on social media showed a man with long brown hair, wearing a black T-shirt and grey shorts, being escorted by police following his arrest. 

The motive sure is a head-scratcher. Worth reading in full, with the Mail promising more to follow.

He was probably a maniac, but which religion provides encouragement for such mad devotees to carry out carnage? The problem is Islam with its violent philosophy to non-believers. It needs to grow up from a medieval mindset. Christianity largely overcame its violent divisions several hundred years ago.

Gosh, it must be extremely difficult for the Swiss Police to identify the motive.

I guess he just has a mental illness.

‘Crazy’ – both him and the system. Instead of continuing police surveillance – which yet again failed – for 11 wasted years, why wasn’t his citizenship revoked and him packed off back to Turkey?

Saying that, he would probably end up at the nearest ISIS supportive enclave, the UK…

Clearly will not be terrorist related, and will be a person with mental health issues.

I actually do think mental illness will be a factor. No doubt about it. Who does that without being mentally deranged?
The issue is what the mental illness is combined with.
When mixed with strong Islamic faith, it seems to result in this sort of thing sometimes.

We have a screwed up society that is driving people madder every day. I mean, people who seem terrified by climate change are obviously off their nut as well. Genuinely mad. Only that their destructiveness is different. Sometime it’s destruction of property, sometimes it’s some form of disruption. And for those with power, it’s the imposition of crazy policies (unless it’s just sociopathy). But still completely mad.

No. Every Muslim man, woman & child is REQUIRED BY ISLAM to kill at least one infidel in order to guarantee their entry ticket to Paradise.

He’s not a maniac. The maniacs are the political vermin who let such people into our countries.

Quite frankly, I don’t get it.
Is it supposed to be some kind of brave, heroic act to stab random, defenseless people?
Is it supposed to be some kind of inspiration for others? “Oh, wow, Muslims… what a great bunch of people to belong to! I want to go round stabbing people to proclaim God’s greatness..!” Is this the way these people think?
I mean, this is about as cowardly and pathetic as it can be.

I would venture mental illness might be a factor.
There is a lot of it these days. Genuinely.
Mental illness + strong Islamic beliefs seems to be an explosive cocktail resulting in death and destruction.

No, that is just the excuse their lawyers always tell them to use.

Muslim Terrorists are NOT “mentally ill”. They are just following the most fundamental tenets of the Islamic moon cult, in which…

NO MUSLIM MAN, WOMAN OR CHILD can be guaranteed entry to their Paradise Brothel with 72 virgins and “boys like pearls” UNLESS THEY HAVE KILLED AN INFIDEL, or DIED TRYING TO KILL ONE, any way they can. This includes babies, so furtively strangling your infant down at the childcare centre is also allowed, as is quietly smothering your newborn then saying it was stillborn.

One murder is sufficient, but if the victim survives the attack, the Muslim man, woman or child will try again and again to kill an infidel until they succeed. Even if imprisoned in solitary, they will try to kill infidel prison officers in order to fulfil this requirement. Not one infidel prison officer or prisoner is safe around them.

This is why “Moderate Muslims” do not exist … only Muslims smiling and biding their time…

This is also why Muslims need to emigrate into other countries, because killing a Muslim doesn’t count toward getting your Entry Ticket to Paradise. They need to… Read more »

Not specific to this article but I’m very pleased to see this Sikh psycho has been found guilty of murder and next the police who handcuffed dying Henry are going to be investigated. You don’t get away with a simple ”Sorry”, I’m afraid;

”Digwa was found guilty of murder by jurors on Thursday.
The actions of the officers are now under investigation by the Independent Office for Police Conduct.
US tech billionaire Elon Musk has said he is willing to fund a private prosecution against the force.
He posted on X: “Unconscionable. I am happy to fund a wrongful death lawsuit against these disgusting excuses for law enforcement. They damn well better have been fired.”

There was a most compelling tv drama on this very topic raising the ethical question of allowing people of a certain faith to carry an extremely offensive weapon in our society. If it were a firearm would that be OK? My view is that a harmless fake should suffice. That’s not hard. It also transpired in the drama that this religion is far from passive. The finale was most disturbing. Maybe others recall it.

It’s certainly an interesting one. Personally, I’m more for the argument that there should be no religious exemptions, period. Wouldn’t that be the ultimate litmus test for who is capable of assimilating into our culture and who can’t? Basically, take everything Rupert Lowe talks about. Abolish Sharia courts, ban religious slaughter of animals, polygamous marriages, burqas/niqabs and all the other sensible stuff he’s said, then anyone can leave if they don’t like it and see who’s left.
I think it’s entirely reasonable to ban these kirpan knives. They wouldn’t be able to get on a plane with them nor be a patient in hospital wearing it, so there’s obviously various scenarios where they would need to be parted with their kirpans and the sky isn’t going to fall in. It is THEM who need to yield to our laws and culture and ultimately integrate, not the other way around. If I moved to India it’d be a different story and I’d have no right to complain, but they are a minority in our lands and must adapt. Give people a place to worship then that should be the end of it. Zero pandering because once you start there’s no end,… Read more »

The kirpan is allowed because it is a defensive weapon. So that’s all right then.

It was actually used by Sikh Thuggees as a disembowelling dagger.

Then carrying a weapon allegedly for self-defence should be the right of everybody, irrespective of religious status, but even pepper spray is banned in the UK. It should be the law of the land applied equally to all demographics with no exceptions.
It seems Alex Armstrong is also on the same page;

”No Sikh should be allowed to carry a knife in Britain. It is not part of our way of life. It is not part of our culture. No ifs, no butts. No religion, race or ethnicity should come above the law. What we have now is not equality, it’s special rules for some and not for others. If you disagree, you are entitled to go and live somewhere that you are allowed to carry a knife, it’s that simple. The government should change these ‘special status’ religious exemption laws and stop pandering to minority groups. No more deaths for the sake of diversity.”
