Swiss police have defended their decision to fine a man who shouted “Allahu Akbar” in public, arguing that they would have reacted the same way if someone had been shouting obscenities in public, local media reported. The 22-year-old man, named as Orhan E., claims that he used the Islamic phrase, meaning “God is great,” to express surprise after unexpectedly seeing a friend in a parking lot in Schaffhausen, a town in northern Switzerland. The exclamation – often shouted by Islamic terrorists before carrying out attacks – caught the attention of a police officer, Schaffhauser Nachrichten (SHN) reports. The policewoman promptly approached the male and later handed over his case to city law enforcement, which fined him 150 Swiss francs for causing a public nuisance. An additional 60 francs in administrative fees brought the total to 210 francs ($213). [ link to www.rt.com (secure)] Good. It's like that shouting 'fire' in a crowded theatre. There are some things that common sense tells you not to do.
