“Islamic jihadis feel free to attack brazenly and out in the open, as they know that weak authorities, desperately afraid of being labeled ‘Islamophobic,’ will deal with them lightly and they will be out on the streets again in no time. And so it is certain that Sophie will not be the last Australian, or the last person in London, to be attacked in broad daylight by a Muslim screaming ‘Allahu akbar.’ Such people have been nothing but encouraged.” (Robert Spencer)

By Katie Weston For Mailonline, 3 June 2020 |
A reporter screamed live on air as she claimed she was attacked by a screwdriver-wielding man yelling ‘Allahu Akbar’ while covering the Black Lives Matter protest in London.
Nine News’ Europe correspondent Sophie Walsh, 34, was assaulted on Park Lane while broadcasting around 9.45am today, according to the Australian network.
Footage was not captured of the attack but Ms Walsh can be heard screaming and seen clearly shaken afterwards while relaying the incident to one of her colleagues.
The alleged attack came as police arrested a man after a car driving ‘very fast’ mounted a pavement and hit a pensioner, 69, and another man in nearby Sloane Square in a separate incident.

She said: ‘Sorry, I just had someone come up and try and… yeah.
‘A man just came up and grabbed me. He’s not armed. A man just came up and grabbed me though.’
A fellow presenter reported the attacker ‘made motions to stab her’ with the cameraman operator and bystanders chasing him down.
The incident was later reported on the Nine News network in Adelaide when TV anchor Brenton Ragless described what happened.
Ragless said: ‘The attacker grabbed Sophie during Adelaide’s 6pm news bulletin just an hour ago. He yelled ‘Allahu Akbar’ while making motions to stab her.
‘The man was chased down and detained by Nine’s camera operator and bystanders until police arrived. It is unclear whether the man had a screwdriver in his hand or in his pocket.’
He added: ‘Sophie is shaken but unharmed, which is good news.’
Footage later shows a man being detained by two police officers and held against a car bonnet.
The man was arrested for making threats to kill, possession of an offensive weapon and possession of class B drugs.
Ms Walsh later wrote on Twitter: ‘Thank you for your messages. The man has been arrested for threats to kill and carrying a weapon. I’m shaken but okay.

The cameraman, Jason Conduit, is pictured chasing the man with a light stand. Senior producer Michelle Taverniti tweeted: ‘Incredibly brave. We’re all thankful they’re alright’
Big thanks to my incredible cameraman Jason Conduit who chased him down armed with a light stand and got him arrested.’
Senior producer Michelle Taverniti also posted a picture of Mr Conduit chasing after the man, captioning: ‘Incredibly brave. We’re all thankful they’re alright.’
The network said in a statement: ‘Nine News appreciates the enormous pressure our international correspondents are under and is offering Sophie Walsh ongoing support.’
‘Sophie is grateful for the outpouring of support she has received from the public and wishes to reassure our viewers that she is safe and well.’
Ms Walsh joined Nine News in 2009 after working as the head of newsroom at WIN television in Bundaberg, Australia.
She became a weekend weather presenter for the network in Brisbane in 2014 before returning to Sydney and being appointed as the Europe correspondent in June of last year.
Met Police said the attack was ‘not being treated as a terror incident’.
A spokesperson told MailOnline: ‘Police were called at 09:46 on Wednesday, 03 June to Park Lane, W1 reports of an assault and a man making threats.
‘Police nearby gave chase and detained the man. No injuries have been reported at this time.
‘A man, no further details, was arrested on suspicion of making threats to kill, possession of an offensive weapon and possession of class B drugs.
‘He has been taken to a central London police station, where he remains at this time.’
It comes as thousands of Black Lives Matter protesters including singer Liam Payne and actor John Boyega gathered in the capital city today as a show of force against the death of George Floyd in the US.
Huge crowds came together in Hyde Park this afternoon despite ongoing social distancing rules as many campaigners wore face coverings and held signs with messages reading ‘Please, I can’t breathe’, ‘BLM’ and ‘Colour ≠ Crime’.
The rally comes amid global demonstrations gather pace following the death of 46-year-old black man Mr Floyd who died after white police officer Derek Chauvin put his knee on his neck for nine minutes in Minneapolis on May 25.
Today, Star Wars star John Boyega told the crowd: ‘Black lives have always mattered. We have always been important.

They brought the snake into the house because they knew it would bite….
This is the trouble with stupid self-destructive people. It’s impossible to protect them from danger.
Stupid or deceived and programmed?
All of western civilization has been trusting liars with credentials, in academia, in media, in government, in business, in churches…
This stage was set from the top.
sp: I agree. Humans do poorly in times of abundance. These last 50 years are the first time in human history where whole countries have had enough to eat. US poverty was terrible in the 1960’s. Now they are fed, and they get stupid.
They couldn’t build the technology they wanted to rule with unless the advancements in technology gave the people a better life. Why improve technology if people aren’t better off for it? People should be eating better here, but they very intentionally limited how much better, and then they put the increased prosperity in reverse. Technology and mass production should make common necessities cheaper, but they became more expensive. Wages have NOT increased in pace with prices. It has been a very cunning con job. It has been slow strangulation. We hear every excuse under the sun why everything keeps getting more expensive. Modern things distract us from what is really going on, by design. The big picture is very ugly.
Its shoes are to die for.
LOL
Is that the guy from Arutz Sheva? He is awesome!

Don’t forget, what has brought some prices down is exporting our manufacturing and we get crap in return and dependent on other countries that would like to control us. I point to China. . China produces junk designed for obsolesce. US made offered quality goods back in the day. Multi national banks and multi national companies love cheap labor. No unions to deal with and a new kind of slave to control.
First came the manufactured “need” for cheap products, then came trade with China. Devalued currency, artificially skyrocketed energy prices, increased government burdens…and more, created the “need” for cheap junk. China was grown to force s a fight. Islam was grown to force a fight.
Fat, dumb and happy.
felix: “Fat, dumb and happy.”
Yes but not very happy. Leftists are significantly less happy than conservatives. Our values are less affected by the prosperity increases.
By diabolical stage manger.
Happily, in law there is “no duty to rescue”. Anyone-even the proverbial baby on the railroad track (if you had a “duty” where would it end, yada yada)…
However in the case you posit Rules there’s not a scintilla of regret. Because “stupid self-destructive people” are a danger to others than themselves. I hope they self-destruct and soon!
“Happily, in law there is ‘no duty to rescue'”.
Well, the Old Testament describes “failure to warn”. We are supposed to warn a blind man if he is walking toward a ditch. Bioethics has similar rules for health professionals. If a patient announces an intent to kill someone, the doc must warn the authorities.
But yes, those are obvious cases, and we a can’t go around warning everyone about everything all the time.
In Italy once, on a bus, a priest approached me to warn me about thieves on the bus. I thanked him, and shortly thereafter, they did steal my wallet — that I had already emptied.
Law is separate from religion/faith of course. There is no legal duty; but we are all bound as moral creatures created by God, to the Natural Law. Therein is certainly found a duty to rescue. Recall, “Am I my brother’s keeper?”.
I was a nurse before becoming a lawyer and the medical/bioethical examples you cite are terribly important. Great post Rules!
Kathy – My pleasure.
me first, nothing to do with islam – mentally dysfunctional
I was thinking it before you wrote it. Me first.????????????
Another muslum savage doing what muslum savages do.
They will give him slap on the wrist and a big knife then let him go.
The large financial payment, don’t forget the large financial payment for the racism he had to endure…
well….. thats a given……
He’ll move to Canada. Truedoodoo will gift him with $10,000,000.00 .
Agree. left/liberals are surrendering to islam and abusing non-muslim rights just like sharia police in saudi/iran would do
Like Typical Left/liberal pro-jihadi politicians/Media from Australia. Will they ever stand up against jihadis like this woman is doing ?
Australian Surrender Monkey Threatens Infidel Women with arrest for going into No-go muslim sharia Area http://offtrade.net/cnmnews/australian-surrender-monkey/
That is only thing they can do.
Two words, Sophie: Justine. Damond. Look her up. If that thug of Allah had killed you, nobody would care or lead a “protest” for you, either, because your life doesn’t “matter”, you’re just a kafir woman without hijab, a.k.a. “uncovered meat”. Notice the police won’t treat it as a “terror” incident.
Consider this a lesson.
The more we focus on the individual acts of violence (jihad of the sword), the less we focus on the reason they are happening.
When did Muslims become “harmless” to western civilization?
How did that change of clothes happen, in textbooks and media and politics?
Why would the people who knew the real identity of the snake dress it up as harmless and bring it into the house?
The big picture is hidden in the answers.
Islam didn’t invade (this time), it was invited.
What is the only thing Islam guarantees? Perpetual conflict that evolves into a war of survival.
Who wants a war of survival? What would be the goal of a war of survival?
Does anyone really think that the ruling class of western civilization. who have always wanted to rule the world, want to hand their favorite cities and land and power and wealth over to 7th century barbarians who never assimilate, don’t make good workers, recognize no authority except Allah and Mohammed, and take over by birth rate if allowed to do so?
People have become complacent and easily fooled. They believe what they WANT to believe. Facts don’t matter to them. They will need to learn the hard way…
The school of hard knocks is in session…
Welcome to Dawah! Sophie Walsh will wear the veil and convert to the cult of the genocidal Muhammad very soon. Then she will be forgiven
Well, londonstan is controlled by the POS feral animal parasitic moronic muslims for sure!!!! Stay away from the feral animals. Didn’t your mother teach you that??? The muslims and libturd dumocraps destroy everything that they touch!
Kind of convenient that everyone must wear a mask. Quick conversion to Islam.
We need to officially declare war against Islam and any traitors that protects this evil death cult and call us Islamophobes, etc. They are the enablers, without their support Muslims couldn’t have even entered the country. We need to end this stupid delusion that Muslims are peaceful, time to treat them for the real savages they are.
This is what war is all about, you get them before they get you. Right now they’re at war with us and we fail to accept this reality/truth which is why so many young white girls have been tortured and gang-raped by these monsters. If we declared war on Islam after 9/11, none of that would’ve happened.
How many millions of citizens, children, dogs, elderly and others must be sacrificed at Muslim hands until we deal with these barbarians? Once you declare war, then it should be legal to fight back and take them out. The police keep passing up on these opportunities to remove them from the gene pool. It’s very easy to say “he was about to stab her,” everyone (except muslims) will accept that.
The stumbling block is our freedom of religion, in the U.S. and finding someone with the authority and power to make the case! You have to legally prove it is a political ideoloy pretending to be a religion.
Islam is a political ideology posing as a religion. However any religion that incites hate, violence, rape and murder should lose its religious status. This was done before to other cults in the US and they were treated as criminals, the same must happen to Islam.
Someone has to recognize that and prove that. We know it’s true but someone with the courage and legal skills has to take that on! I don’t want that evil here either.
Where islam has touched the earth…
Death, destruction, chaos, fear and misery have followed.
All we have to do is look at 1400 years of islamic history
When muslims turn their backs on this death cult.
The earth will be a better place for ALL people.
But I fear that it will be a long time before that happens..
I won’t see it in my time
Hopefully, maybe my children or their children will see it
in life their life time.
Islam is mainly a political ideology DISGUISED as a religion.
Also Islam time and time again has expressed to want to conquer America. All Muslims and Communists should be sent back to their countries of origin because they do not seek to peacefully get along, they mean to overthrow and conquer.
Muslims are like locusts, they devour and destroy everywhere they land. Every single country that has welcomed them has lived to regret it.
Part of their culture is incest, adultery and pedophilia.
God’s attributes: Peace, love, truth, life, creation, order, liberty, freedom, lawfulness, light
satan’s attributes: War, hate, deceit, death, destruction, chaos, oppression, slavery, lawlessness, darkness
Mohammedans should never have been invited into Western lands. NEVER! Each one, potentially, is a walking hand-grenade, housing explosive commands of intolerant, religious war-waging Koran (and books). In phase of life, “peaceful” in behavior (perhaps sincerely), if not in thought: facial expressions can reveal malice nursed within. Pull the pin, by some set of circumstances (or voices), start count-down: Boom! — “Allahu Akbar!” — Frenzied maniacal violence pitiless explodes! Then burial grounds of Islam’s innocent victims grows.
White women had better wake up! To a devout Muslim, you are only good for rape and have no business being any kind of authority figure. You are NOT allowed to be SEEN or HEARD, let alone be a reporter, telling other MALES what to believe or consider as truth. Women in general have no credibility to a devout Muslim.
MUSLIM females are NOT to be SEEN or HEARD in the world of Islam. They are given NO CREDIBILITY, let alone being a reporter, spewing news to inform or influence you. Magnify the Muslim rage by seeing a WHITE WOMAN only good for rape, in an authority role! Doesn’t it take two females to be a “witness” to a crime and equal to one Muslim male ? Imagine how Muslims view a WHITE female informing them about events to influence them ! The Omars are only given a temporary pass for as long as it suits the Islamic agenda.
Sharpened screwdrivers, one of the favorite weapons of street criminals.
It used to be ice picks in my day.
I still have one.
But, see how the islamoTango respects British law? He did not use a knife…(sarcasm intended)
The only condition the released looters have to meet is to go straight back vandalizing and looting.again.
DEFUND the universities which teach mandatory acceptance of arbitrary thought. Take away their money. Stop them producing self deluding ideologues.
Cut the size of government by 90%. Give the arts graduates no employment opportunities.
Boycott and thus DEFUND Twitter and Facebook.
Support Gab.com and Minds.com instead.
No foreign money or “gifts” should be allowed in our education. Unload federal loans to banks in the private sector. Let students explain why learning forms of jihad, Islam and Queer Studies is not a good career choice. So much needs to get done…
Once again drugs play in, toxic mix, joined with commands of poisoned Koran. Perhaps there too, following path laid by the false “Prophet”, into mind-enclosing darkness, where one is prone to hear demonic whispering “voices” inciting savage murderous violence.
So glad Ms. Walsh escaped, “only” shaken. Hats off to valiant Mr. Conduit! Both are most fortunate — it could have been so much worse.
Plain enough, reporters are facing mounting dangers. Where they are still “free” to report at all. From militant Mohammedan psychopaths to violent Marxist socialists: ugly evil faces of allied fascism, in violent suppression or brutal oppression. In Western Judaeo-Christian society, ideally, there really should be no place for their endangering intrusive or subversive presence. At least, NO TOLERATION.
Thank you Aussie tv for saying the alla Akbar word, if that was uk media it would never have even been aired!
do these uk pople have some sort of secret agenda???
are they Antifta much pc is not good pc. you have to call the spcde what it is.
the truth will set you as told by Her Holiness Oprah Winfrey
If Obuma had a son.
MSM chick getting the world she insists the rest of us live in. Enjoy it sweetie.
If she would have been carrying the problem would have been solved
They aren’t protests. They are riots.
But, but….the Mooslums keep telling me that they are peaceful. Oh dear, you don’t think they are lying do you?
Lol, video deleted….go figure. Lets hide the truth from the people. Censorship must die!
WW III is basically world-wide jihad, the attack against reason by that which is without reason.
The bottom of the food chain is alive and well on every country. We need to stop feeding it.

What’s the matter Twitter? Did you block the video because it doesn’t fit your Muslim narrative?
The police, politicians and citizens have little or no understanding of Islamism and its directive to overthrow the government. Red up people and become educated. Be proud to being called “Islamophobic” and wear that label as a badge of honour.
But surely this reporter should immediately be fired. How islamophobic of her, to be frightened, then scream, like that! I mean she acts as if islam is SCARY or something!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! And that wonderful devout man, that devout imitator of the profit Mo-Ham (pee be upon him)! She acts as if he’s, well, sociopathic instead of just really really religious!
6 months in the electric chair for her.
r u being sarcastic?
idk but if someone screamed out allai aykbar to me means death or be killed.
the poor reporter. if it’s not the pandemic it’s something else..sh!eesh kebub
Of course it’s sarcastic.
It happened to a member of the media. The same media that’s been apologizing for Islam and Marxist ideologies for 40 years. I’m glad she is unharmed. But part of me wants to say Nana Nana Boo Boo.
