Venice's right-wing mayor has ordered cops to shoot ANYONE who shouts 'Allahu Akbar' - rather than risk a terror attack .
The phrase in Arabic for 'God is greatest' has been shouted in multiple terrorist incidents across the continent, but is more commonly harmlessly used by Muslims during prayers as a reminder of God's significance in their lives.
The Times reports that mayor of Venice Luigi Brugnaro has reportedly decided its an unacceptable phrase to be shouted in the city's St Marks Square.

I think the planet should adopt this policy. Nip it in the bud, I say. You want to play the terrorism game, then you will immediately pay the price.

Better safe than sorry can be used against both the radical right and left... in fact it is, that's why America is getting so damn politically violent. It's ignorance expanded to violence.

I must admit that if someone utters that phrase in a public place, I will probably be ducking for cover....
But I can't say that I agree with shooting someone for saying it if they don't present some evidence of being a threat.

I am not a linguistic expert, but based upon observation I must assume that phrase means "YOU DIE NOW!!!"

Living in France and after having witnessed the carnage that has been dealt by these brainwashed extremist over the years, I can tell you that no sane person would "shout" that phrase in public.
If an idiot chooses or thinks it funny to do so then he will probably get his/her head seriously kicked in by the general public before being handed over to the police for another belting (erm accident...) and then hauled off to do some time with Bubba and Co.

Then you would be incorrect in your assumption. It actually translates as "Allah is Greater" or "Allah is [the] greatest".
