Local media reports it was a woman pushing a baby in a stroller who was attacked, not the actual baby. There's also some doubt about the Allahu Akbar claims - apparently the Finnish for 'watch out'/beware sounds very similar.

Sounds very similar, and means pretty much the same.

And now 8 have been stabbed in Russia.

Attacker was 'liquidated' according to the police statement!

A very "Russian" response.

Varokaa vs. Allahu Akbar. Not sure that sounds similar.

Why would a man stabbing people shout watch out.

Reports said the pious murderer was shouting.

I only quoted one of a few news reports. As other have posted, situation has developed and is now being treated as a terror attack.

Basically, the theory that those countries fighting IS are being targeted like this has been well and truly buried.

You could be attacked by one of these idiots at anytime, any place.

[Finlandia]

Apparently women were targeted, the victims are all women between 15 and 67. The idiot is a Moroccan 18 year old.

Only the left the the media ever believed that bullst.

Islam has been at war with the kafir since it started. Islam is jihad it spread through jihad. Historical fact.

It's BS deflection, someone says the same st every time this happens. Reddit is full of crap like this

The internet is full of idiots.

Witnesses reported him screeching a certain Jihadi battlecry while stabbing people.

Someone then uploaded a video of him fleeing the scene with a couple of Finns running after him. The FINNS were shouting 'Varo! Varokaa!' ('watch out') to warn others.

And all of a sudden idiots everywhere were "debunking" the muslim terrorism conspiracy.

Cheers for clearing that up. Reports suggested witnesses had misinterpreted the shouting.

Yes, but it's not about religion. At all. In any way whatsoever.

The BBC are now covering it, a British paramedic attempted to help one of the victims and was stabbed himself.

The attacker(s) is doing it in the name of religion, how can that then not have anything to do with religion?

I think we need a sarcasm tag.

(In more general terms it's a point about some of the arguments some people try to make to claim the attackers aren't motivated by their religion. Also because any time we have one of these threads and religion crops up it starts an argument and the thread gets locked. So let's please keep this factual and avoid the religious aspect for the moment.)

Yeah, i realise that now

It's just that this hit a bit too close to home for me, and quite frankly I'm really fking pissed off at religion now.

[Jonesy23]

Yeah, I had a call from someone who was in the area to tell me they were OK before I knew what incident they were taking about. So it was close enough.
