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

UK: “Asian” attacker crashed into pedestrians in his car before running into Parliament with knife

Mar 22, 2017 12:02 pm By Robert Spencer

We have seen a spate of such attacks recently — and a billboard in Nazareth that actually called for them. “Moderate” Fatah called for such attacks. And the Islamic State issued this call in September 2014:

So O muwahhid, do not let this battle pass you by wherever you may be. You must strike the soldiers, patrons, and troops of the tawaghit. Strike their police, security, and intelligence members, as well as their treacherous agents. Destroy their beds. Embitter their lives for them and busy them with themselves. If you can kill a disbelieving American or European — especially the spiteful and filthy French — or an Australian, or a Canadian, or any other disbeliever from the disbelievers waging war, including the citizens of the countries that entered into a coalition against the Islamic State, then rely upon Allah, and kill him in any manner or way however it may be….If you are not able to find an IED or a bullet, then single out the disbelieving American, Frenchman, or any of their allies. Smash his head with a rock, or slaughter him with a knife, or run him over with your car, or throw him down from a high place, or choke him, or poison him….

“Asian” is the British media’s euphemism for Muslim.

“Parliament shooting: Terror attack on Westminster as knifeman ploughs into pedestrians, stabs officer before being shot by police,” by Danny Boyle and Martin Evans, Telegraph, March 22, 2017:

Man shot by police as he tries to access Palace of Westminster
Attacker crashes into pedestrians before stabbing officer
At least three gunshots heard by witnesses
Vehicle then ploughs into pedestrians, leaving ‘dozen injured’
Witnesses describe Asian man in 40s with eight-inch long knife
Scotland Yard treating attack as ‘terrorist incident’
Theresa May is safe and driven away from Parliament

A major security alert is under way at the Houses of Parliament after a man was shot by police as he tried to gain entry to the Palace of Westminster, mowing down pedestrians in what police are treating as a terror attack.

Witnesses described seeing a car crash into the perimeter fence on Westminster Bridge, hitting pedestrians, before the driver ran towards police officers guarding parliament.

Onlookers said a man armed with a knife had attacked police officers at the gate before being shot. One police officer has been stabbed in the incident at about 2.45pm.

At least three shots were heard and people described seeing two people laid on the ground.

There were reports that a car ploughed into pedestrians on Westminster Bridge just before the incident leaving up to a dozen injured.

Minutes after the incident an emergency helicopter landed in Parliament Square as sirens were heard ouside. Air ambulance medics ran from the helicopter towards the casualties on the ground.

There were reports that multiple people had been injured….

    As of now, there are reports of 12 injuries, and at least 1 (the assailant) dead.

      The good thing is that the Mohammedan is dead. The cops, when push came to shove, did as cops in Australia, Israel and France have all recently done.

      If it’s waving a knife and stabbing people and yowling allahu-akbar – and *especially* when it attacks a cop or a soldier – BLAM! neutralise it.

    • gravenimage says

      Yes–the Jihadist is dead. So are four innocent people, though, including a police officer who was guarding Parliament.

    This “Asian” thing is getting ridiculous. Next time they identify a Mozlem attacker as “asian” the actual people of chinese ancestry should rise up and protest.

      Yes– she was shouting it out the window of the car that was speeding her to safety elsewhere.

      ”I hope no one’s thinking “It’s a shame they didn’t get into Parliament”.

      ”The Prime Minister was in the voting lobby at the time of the attack and was rapidly bundled into a silver Jaguar by an undercover cop and rushed from the scene.

      Official sources have confirmed she is unharmed.”

      Well, whew ! Thank goodness for *that*, eh ?

      • ECAW says

        Yes, it’s a relief.

    An Islamic “car of peace”.

    • gravenimage says

      Mar 22, 2017 at 11:33 pm

      Sye Ten Atheist in his anti-Jihad videos refers satirically to “the Truck of Peace”.

  6. Keith says

    Mar 22, 2017 at 12:19 pm

    Just waiting for the news channels to wheel out their tame Imams preaching about how Islam is a religion of peace and this has got nothing to do with Islam.
    Of course we all know the truth.

  7. Mark A says

    Robert, at least you are banned from the UK so your “hate” won’t result in these kinds of threats to public safety.

  8. Mark A says

    Mar 22, 2017 at 12:21 pm

    The UK can expect many more incidents like this.

    My sympathies to those on the receiving end of this barbarism. My contempt to those who have allowed and encouraged things to reach this stage.

    I was listening to the BBC last night, and I was very surprised that the Beeb described members of the Rotherham rape gang as Pakistanis. Naturally the Beeb had to wrap up with a story about communal amity.

    I expect that the reaction from Sharia May will follow the usual nauseating script.

    The religion of peace aka religion of killers strikes again!! And the world leaders will parroting the mantra “This has nothing to do with Islam”!.

    When will these stupid leaders wake up or they are leading their citizens for slaughter like lambs! Will the citizens wake up and throw these leaders out?

    UK just needs better knife control laws.

    And/or a reality check. Quickly…

      Common sense knife control: Maybe only chefs could have longer than 9mm blades — with a permit. And only one storage clip.

      Except maybe “Asian” chefs…

    “Stay calm.” Then one would in the circumstances of today, “Become dead,” and, then, “Remain calm.”

    The UK has a major obligation to round up every Muslim on her soil and deport them back to Syria.

    • dumbledoresarmy says

      Mar 22, 2017 at 8:51 pm

      Syria? Pakistan, rather.

      In fact, a swap would work. All the dreadfully-persecuted Pakistani Christians – e.g. Asia Bibi with her family – go to the UK; all the dreadfully-persecuted Pakistani Sikhs and Hindus are welcomed into India by PM Modi; and… ALL THE MOHAMMEDANS of South Asian extraction in the UK and in India get rounded up and given the boot… to PAKISTAN (or, in the case of some of the Mohammedans in the UK, Bangladesh; quite a few are of Bengali Muslim extraction). Let them live in their ‘pure’ Mohammedan territory. But wall it off and fortify the borders so they can’t get back out. They want Islam? Give them a gutful.

    Another pious Mohammedan performing “good deeds” and hoping for his 72 rape victims in paradise.

    God, I hate Islam.

    It is insulting to people’s intelligence when Muslim terrorists are called “Asian” does that mean Buddhist or Hindu? Maybe he was an Asian Christian. Or an atheist! Lets call things as they are. But most westerners are brain-dead on this topic. They live for the next check and don’t want to make trouble…but trouble is coming to them.
