Exposing the role that Islamic jihad theology and ideology play in the modern global conflicts

Jihad in London: Scotland Yard says “we are treating this as a terrorist incident until we know otherwise”

Mar 22, 2017 12:24 pm By Robert Spencer

A “terrorist” incident means jihad. It wasn’t the IRA. There are no other significant terrorist groups operating today in the UK. This statement from Scotland Yard makes it very likely that this was a jihad attack, and yet another repudiation of the British government’s policy of appeasing and accommodating Islamic supremacists and jihadists while hounding and persecuting foes of jihad terror, and banning foreign ones from the country.

“London Westminster shooting: Scotland Yard treating attack as terrorist incident,” Belfast Telegraph, March 22, 2017:

London police have confirmed the incident at Westminster is being treated as terrorist related.

A policeman has been stabbed and his attacker shot by officers after a major terrorist incident at the Houses of Parliament.

The attacker mowed down several pedestrians as he drove a grey Hyundai i40 across Westminster Bridge before crashing it into railings then running through the gates of the Palace of Westminster and stabbing the officer.

Eyewitnesses said he was shot by police as he approached a second officer clutching his knife.

He left a trail of destruction as paramedics tended to his victims on the bridge and at the gate.

A 30-second clip posted on Twitter by @sikorskiradek showed a man lying in the bus lane, with several people running towards him. It then pans to another man lying in the middle of the road holding his left leg while two people kneel over him. A knocked-down orange cone can be seen at the edge of the pavement in the background.

One white van and a motorbike were still in the road, with onlookers appearing to walk and run towards the injured.

Prime Minister Theresa May was seen being ushered into a silver Jaguar in the grounds of the palace as what sounded like gunfire rang out at around 2.45pm. A Downing Street source confirmed she was “OK”.

Scotland Yard urged people to avoid the area, in a statement it said: “Officers – including firearms officers – remain on the scene and we are treating this as a terrorist incident until we know otherwise….

      Muslim Mayor of London warns of retribution against peaceful Muslims in 3…2.

      Of course and the clueless liberals will back him up and tell the whole world Trump is upsetting the muslim world.

        MUSLIM mayor of London says ‘ISLAM HAS NOTHING TO DO WITH ISLAM’.

          And then he added, “You stinking, infidel ! Surrender to islam or I’ll kill you !”

      Grimly spot on, Vyx.

    • Islam the religion of killers says

      Mar 22, 2017 at 7:40 pm

      But it hasn’t been published that it was muslim … ?? Sadiq Kan is just getting the message in case .

      But of course in reality to had to be a muslim, who else would be stupid enough to breach the Palace of Westminster and think the police would be unarmed …

    I would have no problems avoiding the area. But where is it safe now in Europa and the world? Islam being spread in Europe, troops fighting against islamic state in the arab world. Strange politics destroying like the nazis. WW3.

    They may accept it as a terror attack yet the perps may be ‘ mentally disturbed; or ones that misunderstood Islam.

    This way they will continue to shield Islam from the reality check.

      The socialist Brits, especially those in government, have to shield filthy muslims because they don’t want the world to know how stupid they were in allowing the filthy, barbarian,bastards to settle there in the first place.

    The second photo shows the “Asian” attacker. He looks like he might be of Pakistani descent and he has a beard. http://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-4338998/Police-open-fire-outside-House-Commons.html

    That is something new: “…until we know otherwise.” Before there was always total denial that it has anything to do with terror or even more so with Islam. Are the winds changing slowly in UK?

    • gravenimage says

      I fervently hope so, Voytek.

      “Are the winds changing slowly in UK” For the welfare of non-Muslim Brits I hope so Voytek. Islam is to a country as a deadly cancer is to a body, and America has this deadly cancer. I began studying Islam and warning people since early 2000, I have watched the rapid growth of Islam by way of Stealth Jihad from that year to present day, while a lot of people have come to realize what the true goal of Islam is all about, thanks to Robert Spencer and people like him, but it seems the vast majority either don’t care, or think it’s just another religion, we have the pro-Islam media and then there are a great number of professing Christians who are catering to Muslims by way of the “Interfaith Movement” ignoring the warning not to fellowship with anti-Christ people.

        Jack:
        You are so right !
        There are far too many Americans who “poo-poo” the danger of creeping jihad and they go along allowing the filthy muslims one more little special favor after another.
        Of course, every little favor is given to them free of charge and is ultimately paid for by people that filthy muslims consider to be infidels worthy of slaughter.

    Will they say “moslim terrorist attack”?

    • Angemon says

      Mar 22, 2017 at 2:56 pm

      I’d say you’re 2/3rds right.

      • somehistory says

        Mar 22, 2017 at 3:08 pm

        That is much more than in recent times with moslim terror attacks.

    Lets wait until all the facts are in before we make derogatory statements about Muslims being involved, it could be the work of Mormons, Quakers, Baptists or even Nuns.. Remember this too before you comment; all Muslims aren’t terrorists but all terrorists are Muslims, Oops ignore my first sentence.

    • somehistory says

      IMO and I’m not humble most of the time in giving it, anyone who reads, believes and thinks their unholy book is the way to live and commands therein should be obeyed, is like a bomb on a shelf or a stick of dynamite in a box. It hasn’t gone kaboom yet, but the material and potential is there along with the motive. It just needs the little part that sets it off.

        Most Excellent, somehistory: One could write a large book concerning this Political Fascist Ideology and not explain it any better than how you did with a few words(}:-)

      I secretly hope the bearded, Asian looking terrorist was not a nun.

    Anyone else not exactly thrilled to hear that Britain’s Islamophiliac prime minister May is “OK”?

    (“Deeply shamed that her pro-Islam stance is bearing bitter fruit” would seem more apt to me.)

    …………………….

    Finally, a modicum of sanity from British authorities.
