Sudden Jihad in Hollywood - Dec 9, 2011

Hat tip: Blazing Cat Fur.

Evidently Filipinos can't be trusted when they hear "Allahu Ackbar!", because KTLA erased this eyewitness interview from their report later in the day.
=====================
A gunman opened fire on motorists in the heart of Hollywood on Friday, wounding three people before he was shot to death by an off-duty police officer who had been working on a nearby film set.

The bizarre mid-morning incident, which some witnesses initially mistook for a movie, touched off fear, confusion and panic at the famed Hollywood intersection of Sunset Boulevard and Vine Street.

Police said on Friday night they were still trying to determine why the 26-year-old gunman, whose name was not immediately released, began firing randomly at motorists and pedestrians.

A 40-year-old man who was struck by a bullet while driving through the intersection in a silver Mercedes was listed in critical condition at a local hospital, Los Angeles Police spokeswoman Norma Eisenman said.

Two other men suffered minor injuries, one when he was grazed by a bullet and the other when glass from a car window shattered near his face, Eisenman said. None of the wounded were identified by name.

Eisenman said a plainclothes detective and an off-duty motorcycle officer who was working a security detail on the set of a film in the area were the first to engage the gunman.

"He was the one who shot the suspect," Eisenman said of the off-duty officer.

Police said they didn't know which production the officer was working on when he responded to the call.

A spokesman for FilmLA, an agency that coordinates film and television permits in Los Angeles, said the closest movie set was "Gangster Squad," a crime drama starring Ryan Gosling, Emma Stone and Sean Penn.

That set was several blocks away from the intersection of Sunset and Vine, the spokesman said, although he could not confirm that the officer had been working there.

Witness Micah Williams told local KCAL-9 TV that he and a friend were walking nearby when the gunman began shooting "in every which direction."

Williams said at first he and his friend thought the suspect was part of a movie.

"Then the third one ricocheted right by our head and I was like, 'Dude, they're shooting at us'," Williams said.

A series of videos taken from a nearby office tower and posted on Twitter showed the gunman, dressed in black pants and a white shirt. walking in the intersection firing what appeared to be a handgun as motorists slammed on their brakes and veered out of the way.

Police were then seen arriving on the scene and running in the man's direction. Several more shots were fired out of the camera's view.

Another brief clip, posted on the Los Angeles Times website, showed the man firing at a black pick-up truck at close range.

Witness Oscar Herrera told local KCBS-TV he saw the shooter fire his gun at several cars traveling near or through the intersection.

Herrera told KCBS that when the suspect apparently ran out of bullets he put the gun into his waistband and took out a knife before he was shot by police.

"The infidels should not think they can get away from us. Prepare against them whatever arms and weaponry you can muster so that you may terrorize them." Q5:51, Most Christians and Jews 'are evil-livers' Q5:59, "He (Allah) does not love the unbelievers." Q30:45, "O ye who believe! Take not the Jews and the Christians for friends."5:51, Allah is the name of the pagan moon god of the Arabs, not the Judeo-Christian god. All Islamic rituals are straight out of the pagan religion incl ramadan.

Fatty: "Muhammed is the messenger of Allah. And those with him are hard against the disbelievers & merciful among themselves." Q48:29, "Fight everyone in the way of Allah & kill those who disbelieve in Allah." Mohammed, Ibn Ishaq 992, "...for the Prophet said, "If somebody (Muslim) discards his religion, kill him." Bukhari 4:52:260(no other religion kills those who leave them),"War is ordained of Allah." Q2:216, 109 verses of hate against nonmuslims in the qur'an alone. A 'religion' of hate.

Fatty 10251, It's YOU who should study Islam. You obviously haven't read the Qur'an, hadith & the bloody mass murders of Mohammed himself. Most Muslims haven't read these ugly hatefilled rants in a language they can understand. Mohammed said:"Killing unbelievers is a small matter to us." Mohammed, Tabari 9:69 "O you who believe! Fight those of the unbelievers who are near to you & let them find in you harshness." Q9:123, "I have been made victorious with terror." Mohammed, Bukhari 4:52:220,

Another Muslim maniac hits the deck. That's one less to worry about but there's a lot more out there.

@Fatty12051 You didn't even reply to my comment - you simply accused me of being ignorant about Islam. I mentioned historical facts and scholarly estimates...you accuse me of being ignorant and pandering to media propaganda. Who's making a congruent argument here?

[Hereticalable]

@Fatty12051 Are you denying the koran has violent and intolerant passages in it? Forget the media, forget the behaviour of people, forget what the priests and imans say, go straight to the source and tell me it's 100% peaceful with no room for violence or intolerance...and I will happily eat my words.

[Fatty12051]

@Hereticalable @Hereticalable SMH, this really shows how ignorant u are abt the Islamic religion....i will entreat u make it upon yourself to understand Islam....forget abt all the propaganda and wat the media is portraying and i bet u, we wont be talking in this line of argument.

[Hereticalable]

@Fatty12051 Scholarly estimates show Muslims have killed around 240 million people since the 7th Century...Iraq and Afghanistan become drops of water in the ocean when you look at the big picture. It also helps to know it was Muslims who invaded everyone else first...even Muslim historians agree with this - look it up, don't believe me.
