Lets see, we have a man yelling "Allahu Akbar" multiple times with his hands in his pockets standing near 100's of Jews near the Wailing Wall. I'd say that's suicide by Security Guard.

Quote:
Police spokesman Micky Rosenfeld said the guard "fired a number of shots" at the man, a 46-year-old Israeli, who appeared suspicious. The guard told police the man shouted "Allahu Akbar" — "God is great!" in Arabic — and had his hands in his pockets. Arab militants often shout that phrase before carrying out an attack.

Allahu Akbar = God is great in Arabic.

Allah = God in Arabic, also used by Christian Arabs.

Allahu Akbar is however an Islamic term.

As many terror attacks & bombings as the people of Israel have endured at the hands of Muslims, I'm
surprised he got as far as he did. Keeping his hands in his pockets was none to bright either.

I'm not condoning this shooting, but, a little common sense would have helped a lot in this situation.

Allahu Akbar is the last two words a terrorist states before a suicide bombing. Since this was done in the holiest place to Jews, the security guard made a split section decision based the persons body language. Has nothing to do with freedom of speech.

What's wrong with yelling "fire" in a crowded theater?

Turns out the security guard was Druze. Thus making it a Muslim who killed a Jew.
