CNN’s Twitter account tried to get away with saying the Flint airport stabber “said something in Arabic” right before he attacked a policeman, but fellow social media users quickly corrected the network Wednesday.
Reports indicated that witnesses heard the stabber shout “Allahu Akbar” before he attacked, but CNN chose to write “something in Arabic” instead.

The responses were brutal.
Why is CNN afraid to report that a terrorist shouted ALLAHU AKBAR before stabbing an officer?
Why so afraid? #AllahuAkbar

He yelled, “The fake media is gonna have a hard time spinning this as a case of racist whites.”
