An Islamic terrorist approaches from behind and stabs a police officer in Dublin, shouting the traditional “Allahu Akbar” often heard during Islamist attacks. The officers, clearly unprepared for this kind of situation, are only able to restrain the attacker thanks to the intervention of a passerby. However, as they begin to subdue the terrorist, bystanders appear and try to interfere.

Europe, overall, is truly unprepared to confront Islamist terrorism.
