The young men screaming “Allahu akbar” don’t appear to have been Muslims: “Spanish media reported that some of those later detained shouted ‘Allah is great’ as well as slogans in favour of the Basque separatist group ETA. But Ricardo Gil-Toresano, the central government’s representative in Seville, said there was no link to extremism. ‘It’s got nothing to do with Islamist groups, ETA, or any known terrorist group,’ he told reporters in comments broadcast on Spanish television….Cecop said three of those arrested were ‘common delinquents.'”

So this appears to be a prank, not a jihad threat. What is noteworthy about it is that the “common delinquents” knew what to shout in order to cause a panic. They knew that screams of “Allahu akbar” would not make the people participating in the Good Friday procession think of peace, or tolerance, or “dialogue.”

Now, why is that? Is it because of “Islamophobia,” or because of jihad attacks around the world?
