Gambian Has an Allahu Akhbar Moment in Padua
6th September 2026
Gambians have been in the news lately on both sides of the Atlantic. For some reason the expatriates of that small African country are getting increasingly lively in their attempts to culturally enrich their host countries.
The latest example of a gamboling Gambian comes from the Italian city of Padua, and involves the familiar pastime of shouting “Allahu Akhbar” while brandishing a knife in a public place. The mischievous youth is one of the innumerable “children” who landed in Europe during the Great Migration Crisis, and has availed himself of the benefits conferred by the Italian welfare state ever since, all while helping the police increase the volume of their arrest records.
