Let’s break down the headline for a moment. A 53-year-old Muslim man who lived in Gabon for 19 years committed a knife attack against two Danish nationals who happened to be reporters for National Geographic. They did this because the United States has recognized Jerusalem as Israel’s capital, screaming “allahu akbar” during the attack.
This sort of random retribution terrorism is not going to make the Palestinian cause look better. It’s not going to strike fear into the hearts of Israelis who have experienced that and worse in their own backyards. It’s not going to deter the President of the United States in any way even if this story somehow makes it to his desk. In other words, a man threw away his life for adherence to the violent cult aspect of an otherwise peaceful religion.
There has to be a better way to make a political statement.
He had another reason for carrying out the attack:
Danish reporters knifed in Gabon over Trump Jerusalem recognition
The man, who has lived in Gabon for 19 years, “in his first statements said he acted in retaliation for US attacks against Muslims and America’s recognition of Jerusalem as Israel’s capital.”
The two victims were sent to a hospital in the capital Libreville, one in a serious condition, government spokesman Alain-Claude Bilie By Nze told AFP.
Massard said the government was treating the attack as “an isolated act” and said an investigation had been launched.
“Following this cowardly and despicable act, the government wishes to assure the people that Gabon will not become a theatre for attacks against our way of life,” he said in a televised address.
My Take
The move by the President is, for many people, just an excuse to allow their antisemitic and/or anti-American feelings to turn into action. Jerusalem, which is not mentioned a single time in the Quran, has become the focal point for countless Muslims because the radical ideology of many of Islam’s leaders have deemed it so. I am not Muslim, but I assume the majority of Muslims do not care enough about the President’s move to commit random acts of violence.
It’s not the majority that concerns me. It’s not even the small percentage who carry out these terrorist attacks. The real problem rests with world leaders who have never accepted the sovereignty of Israel, which includes their right to choose their capital. The persistent narrative that they are occupying Jerusalem is utterly false. Jerusalem had been occupied for over a thousand years… until 1967 when it finally fell into the right hands.
