In the span of just 72 hours, three separate attacks have left victims wounded and one dead in New York, Berlin, and Paris.All of them perpetrated by followers of Islam.In New York, a man stabbed a Jewish victim and an Asian man on the Upper West Side while shouting “Allahu Akbar.” Police are treating the incidents as possible hate crimes and "mental health issues."In Berlin, Abdul Ballout drove a vehicle into a crowd at a Pride event, killing one woman and injuring nearly 30 others. Authorities linked him to Islamist circles before police shot him dead during the manhunt.In Paris, a man stabbed three women, including a pregnant victim, near a metro station. As he was restrained he declared that Allah had ordered him to carry out the attack.The rapid succession of these incidents shows the growing danger to public safety and the repeated appearance of religious motivations in the west.
