Via Drudge: 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.
He claimed Venice is safer than Barcelona - where 14 people died being run down by a van last week.
Speaking at a conference in Rimini, north east Italy, he further revealed the extraordinary order he has given to armed police at one of the most popular tourist attractions in Europe.
Brugnaro was applauded by delegates when he said: “In contrast with Barcelona, where they had not set up protection, we keep our guard up.
“If anyone runs into St Mark’s Square shouting ‘Allahu Akhbar’, we will take him down," he continued.
"A year ago I said within four paces, now within three. I will say it in Venetian: ‘Ghe Sparemo’ (We will shoot him)."
He went on to recall the arrest in March of four suspected jihadists who allegedly planned to kill hundreds of tourist by blowing up the world famous Rialto bridge.
He added: "They wanted to go to Allah. But we'll send them straight to Allah before they can do any damage."

tourists before terrorists. This shouldn't be controversial but it will be.
Waiting that long will usually be too late. Kinda like watching an arsonist pour gasoline on your house for 30 minutes and then trying to stop him when he lights the match.
It's a start.
Saw this.
Got the right idea.
Bravo!
Italy should have listened to Oriana Fallaci. For Trump to have any effect he'll probably be known as the king of all haters because he loves America just as Oriana loved Europe and was reviled for it.
it sends a message.
unfortunately, some the terrorists, the collateral brain damage ones, the ones who operate "in the field," are so stone stupid they might just commence akbarring to see if he's for real.
in the mean time, the mayor will be scolded by the smugs for prospectively interfering with free speech and thus undermining western values and bringing on the apocalypse or some shite.
And Di Blasio is taking down a statue of Cristoforo Colombo in NYC
Cristobal Colon.
No way to live to have to have your guard up PERMANENTLY. Which is the European future...even if European pols were to pull up the drawbridge on the Muslim invasion, which they're obviously not doing and are not going to be doing anytime soon. Nothing for us in the States to be smug about. Soon enough a Dem will be back in the White House and the flood of Muslims will resume here.
Resume? It hasn't even slowed down. Illegal mexicans, too. It is shocking to see how few Americans one encounters even in the sleepy little towns in Carolina. This place has become a 3rd world cesspit.

Eastern europe is. They've been invaded at least twice in the last century.

Don't put money on that.
Remember how I said last year was like '68? The aftermath of '68 was one Democrat for one term in a quarter century.
I don't know WTF the drunk Baghdad Ed is doing. Is that white bread mayo IRS agent trying to tell an Italian how to say Cristoforo Colombo? Or is the drunk confusing him w/ Big Sexy in a drunken stupor?
Diblah is such a profile in courage.
