The jihadist attack on British Parliament is the latest in a twelve-year history of jihad attacks. It was not the worst in terms of casualties, but noteworthy for its location, in the backyard of the UK’s highest legislative authority and seat of its governing powers.
The article below serves as a reminder of the jihadist desire to shed the blood of the infidel in any possible way. Yet beyond the usual tawdry displays of emotion that follow each murderous jihadi rampage, UK leaders seem to care little about the danger jihadists and Islamic supremacists pose to their people.
We can only hope that this latest attack will not be downplayed and virtually forgotten, as were many of the other jihad attacks over the past twelve years. Unfortunately, more deadly attacks are essentially certain, given the emboldening of jihadists by British authorities in their excessive political correctness and reckless immigration practices, which enable jihadis to enter the country freely, including those who are driven on by the Islamic State’s exhortations to kill unbelievers and promises of blessings from Allah for spilling the blood of the infidel.
Yet even prior to the Muslim refugee crisis, while the Islamic State was still in its beginning stages, the Express wrote about the “vast new influx of eastern European migrants” in an article entitled “Mass immigration is destroying our once great nation”:
WHAT is so sickening is that we never voted for this upheaval. Mass immigration and the creation of a multi-cultural society have all been imposed without a shred of democratic consent. Opinion polls show that the overwhelming majority of the public want tighter border controls.
Eastern Europeans are one thing, but Muslim migrants are a much greater threat because of jihad and Sharia. Now it’s up to the British public to demand more from its leaders. Islamic State supporters have been posting social media messages “applauding the knife-wielding suspect and called the attack ‘blessed'”; and the Mirror reports that “security services in the UK have stopped 13 terror attacks in the last four years and there are 500 ‘live’ terror probes underway.”
In a chilling warning just over three weeks ago, Metropolitan police Commissioner Mark Rowley stated: “Now we worry about everything from fairly simple attacks with knives or using vehicles all the way through to the more complex firearms attacks.”

The men ran Rigby down with their vehicle and then used a cleaver to hack him to death. Images of attacker Michael Adebolajo holding a butcher knife and cleaver with bloodied hands in the moments after killing shocked people around the world and sparked fears of Islamist extremism in Britain.
