read once that occasionally a muslim warrior would charge the christian
armies alone and just beserk out trying to kill everyone he could
before he was inevitably killed. "Running amok". Maybe I read an
innacurate history of the term.<br>

word 'Amok" came from a Malay Language word... means go berserk.. when
British was in Malaya (now Malaysia) many hundreds of years ago.. they
came across the incident where people run amok killing people around
them in the public place and included the word into their vocab... <a
