London Parliament shooting

[DigitalDrifter]

Islam is the only major world religion that specifically justifies terrorism. As long as it exists, this will continue.

But but but but Christians.................

 

[DigitalDrifter]

Attacker- Khalid Masood, 52 yrs old, numerous offenses, none terror related, other than charged with offensive weapons.

No terror connections, unless you count his religion.

Have the "Snowflakes Call For Restrictions On Travel For Muslims" stories started yet?

and not wanting folks to die for stupid reasons is not being a snowflake

Over-reacting to threats is though.

Just because you see the attacks as perfectly normal, that does not mean others are over-reacting.

It just means you aren't reacting as any normal, decent human should react.

When did I say that I see attacks as perfectly normal?
Like anything in life you assess the risk and act accordingly.
How many more people die in car crashes in the US...or anywhere else for that matter...?
Does it stop people from driving?

You have been indulging in nothing beyond mindless apologia this entire thread, and tis particular red herring of yours is indicative of a mind that simply refuses to think.

Why the hive mind keeps tossing out these ridiculous excuses to avoid the issue of Islam is anybody's guess. My theory is that you all do it simply because you are imitating other similarly mindless individuals who do the same.

This is about Islam, as people keep attempting to get through that thick head of yours. Islam is an ideology, and an all-encompassing one that seeks to micromanage people's lives down to the minutia. It is intolerant, it is illiberal, it is totalitarian and it is inimical to the enlightened values of our civilization.

How you non liberal leftists can claim to be liberal is nothing but a sign of a deeply ingrained system of denial. What you claim to stand for, and what you actually defend are such world's apart as to be far beyond the realm of rationality.

What rubbish.
If you think that all of the 1.6 billion Muslims in the world are potential terrorists or want to force everyone under Sharia Law or whatever it is you think then how do you stand to leave your house - they're everywhere you know.

There are a lot of shitty, misguided or evil people in the world claiming legitimacy for themselves through their interpretation of a particular ideology....that doesn't mean they represent everyone else.
We should be targeting the shitty, misguided and evil people...it's a much smaller group and would be easier to manage.
Targeting everyone makes angry, frustrated or hopeless people and they become easy pickings for the shitty, misguided and evil people to recruit...then you have more shitty, misguided and evil people...which is just what the shitty, misguided and evil people want!
It's not rocket surgery!

Lord Digby Jones, a British MP, believes that Islam has nothing to do with Islamic terror. How clueless

An American, Kurt Cochran, was killed during the attack on London. Another American lost to Muslim terrorists.

 

[Manonthestreet]

Now this is interesting. He Had been investigated and dismissed as a peripheral figure. Sounds like so many of the attackers here...

Theresa May earlier revealed MI5 intelligence chiefs had previously investigated 52-year-old Khalid Masood but dismissed him as a “peripheral figure”.

How many times have we heard this,"he was looked at" the the powers that be yet nothing was done or he was dismissed. What good is all this intelligence gathering if it doesn't stop these morons?

Heads need to roll whenever this feeble excuse is used....Almost every time we hear this........unbearable incompetance

he got jokes!

Masood was London born.

 

[yiostheoy]

The attacker, who is now dead, according to the Mirror.

A very dark Arab probably half Negro.

 

[yiostheoy]

The woman who jumped or was knocked into the river is still missing.

The water is really cold and probably shocked her and killed her.

Or the car may have knocked her unconscious and she drowned in her unconsciousness.

 

[yiostheoy]

There were raids by police on 3 different Birmingham locations and arrests were made.

Wonder who these folks are? The perp's family?

"Some Muslims lead such separate lives that they believe Britain is an Islamic country."

Britain is 50-90% Asian, say schoolchildren

 

[depotoo]

He had previously been investigated for radicalization. They closed it, saying he was just a peripheral player. Should have kept him in their sights.

Attacker- Khalid Masood, 52 yrs old, numerous offenses, none terror related, other than charged with offensive weapons.

No terror connections, unless you count his religion.

 

[depotoo]

A fifth victim has died. A 75 yr old gentleman, taken off life support this evening and has died.

May they all Rest In Peace.

 

[Eloy]

Too much attention is given-over to this incident on the news, especially in Britain.
The more it is ignored, the less oxygen Isis has for its propaganda.
Consider what a demented Islamist thinks how he too can cause such a stir with a couple of kitchen knives.

WESTMINSTER JIHADI TERRORIST IDENTIFIED
Khalid Masood was well known to authorities.
March 24, 2017

Ari Lieberman

After some confusion, Scotland Yard has belatedly identified the terrorist responsible for Wednesday’s ghastly attack in front of the British parliament building. British police identified him as Khalid Masood, a native of Kent. British media originally reported that the perpetrator was Abu Izzadeen, a well-known Muslim hate preacher but later recanted after learning that Abu Izzadeen was in prison during the carnage and could not have executed the attack.

Masood was a career criminal with a lengthy rap sheet that spanned some two decades. According to British police, his recidivist record included convictions for causing Grievous Bodily Harm (GBH) possession of offensive weapons and public order offenses.

Masood’s past criminal history is not surprising. There is a strong nexus between criminals – petty as well as hardcore – and those who commit terrorist offenses in the name of Islam. Numerous studies have demonstrated substantial overlap between recidivist criminals and Jihadism. Islamists often recruit their members from the criminal pool. Still other delinquents with violent proclivities are drawn to cruel and sadistic aspects of radical Islam.

...

As a result of years of irresponsible immigration policies, some European countries have been transformed into armed camps, with soldiers in full battle gear patrolling the streets. France has extended its national State of Emergency and resembles a country under lockdown, a product of an unrelenting wave of Muslim terrorist bombings, shootings, knifings and car ramming attacks.

These outrages will continue unless drastic action is taken. Sadly, at present, European leaders appear to have neither the will nor the fortitude to take decisive action.

Yes, it's sad that people get involved, and die, in international politics that should never have happened, but Bush went to war in Iraq in 2003 and we're seeing the consequences of such actions.

If there is one single destabilizing even that is the root cause of all this chaos, it is the destabilization of Saddam's iron fisted rule over Iraq. And both GHW and GW Bush did their part in this. GW was worse though.

Well, George Bush snr kept things in place. He dealt with a situation that needed to be dealt with. Bush dubya did the opposite.

Islam must really terrify you.

Preserving that perfect vacuum between your ears is obviously more important to you than learning even the first thing about it.
