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

UK death toll now at least two, several “catastrophically injured” in jihad attack by “middle-aged” Muslim

Mar 22, 2017 12:59 pm By Robert Spencer

“Asian” means “Muslim” in the British media. Watch for the forthcoming reports about his mental illness and the need to be vigilant against “Islamophobia.”

“BREAKING NEWS: At least two dead and several ‘catastrophically injured’ after car mows down pedestrians on Westminster Bridge before a knifeman is shot after attacking police officer in the grounds of Parliament,” by Richard Spillett, Tim Sculthorpe, Alexander Robertson and Mark Duell, MailOnline, March 22, 2017:

At least two people are dead after a terror attacker brought carnage to central London today, mowing down pedestrians on Westminster Bridge before attacking police with a knife in the grounds of the Houses of Parliament.

More than 12 people are said to have been hit by a vehicle on the bridge after a 4×4 drove into pedestrians and cyclists before crashing into the gates of Parliament.

An intruder, described by a witness as ‘middle-aged and Asian’, then managed to break into the grounds of the Parliament and stabbed a police officer before he was shot. The policeman is thought to have since died.

An hour after the attack, paramedics removed one person from the scene after extensive CPR. Another body appeared to have been left on the ground covered by a red blanket.

A doctor at St Thomas’ Hospital has said one woman has died and a number of others have been hurt – including some with ‘catastrophic’ injuries.

Prime Minister Theresa May is said to have been bundled into a car by a plain-clothes police officer and driven quickly from the scene.

Scotland Yard said the attack, which comes a year to the day after the terrorist atrocities in Brussels, is being treated ‘as a terrorist incident until we know otherwise’….

Witness Jayne Wilkinson said: ‘We were taking photos of Big Ben and we saw all the people running towards us, and then there was an Asian guy in about his 40s carrying a knife about seven or eight inches long….

    “asian” also means Paki.

    • Santa Voorhees says

      Mar 22, 2017 at 1:23 pm

      Calling him “asian” is not helpful at all.
      It could also mean chinese or japanese..

      • zulu says

        Mar 22, 2017 at 1:26 pm

        In the UK, Asian generally refers to people who look Pakistani. If someone looks like they are from China or Japan they will be referred to as Chinese.

          Mar 22, 2017 at 1:38 pm

          So the appellation is unfair to lots of Hindus, Christians, Sikhs, Jains, Jews, Buddhists, and others.Still, I wonder how the press in the UK describes someone who is Far Eastern, if not “Asian”?

          In any case, is anyone wondering why “Islamophobia” is apparently on the rise in Britain and elsewhere in Europe?

        • TH says

          Mar 22, 2017 at 2:07 pm

          It is politically correct to call the Muslims Asians.

        • Santa Voorhees says

          Mar 22, 2017 at 5:00 pm

          Kepha, islamophobia is on the rise because of jihad att…. ehm… I mean, it’s because of white supremacists and right wingers!

          Well, you know what I mean. That is what leftists will say about it.
          But obviously it is not the truth…

      • peanut says

        Mar 22, 2017 at 5:22 pm

        exactly. they call the moslems that precisely to confuse people like you and instill doubt it was a moslem.

        to everyone else it’s apparent that asian means moslem.

        • Santa Voorhees says

          Mar 23, 2017 at 2:22 am

          Yeah, this is not the first time they call the muslims “asians”.

          But “asian” could be israeli, could be saudi, or indian…
          There’s a lot of possibilities.

    • Voytek Gagalka says

      Mar 22, 2017 at 1:27 pm

      And “Paki” means MOST probably Mohammedan because “Paki” is 96.4% Islam (officially), and I never heard of any “other minority” committing jihad or even going “so crazy.”

    • A Harris USA says

      Mar 23, 2017 at 4:26 pm

      TAMI, I live in the USA, and Asian here means from the Orient!! Like, China, Japan, Korea, and so on. This is Bull Shit from the proper speaking Queens fools!! I have many Asian friends, many whom are nurses, and doctors who spend their lives helping people. None are Muslim, most are Christian, and follow the teaching of Buda and have no love of Islam. With the high number of Hindu Indians in England, I would think they would just come out and say MUSLIM!!!! God Almighty!!! This makes it look like the East Indians are part of this sick cult!! I would be furious over calling Asian anyone east of Italy!! Wake up UK, they are at war with you!!! They intend to win, and looks like they will.
      BTW, one American killed, and his wife terribly injured.. No London trips for me or my family. Only Hungry, and Poland look like a nice safe European country to visit…… THEY do not welcome people who want to murder them… OH, was his parents immigrants, oh, yeah they were… Damn!!! WAKE UP!!!!

    British press taking Euphemism Classes from Obama: “workplace violence… lone wolf… homophobic… insanity”……

    Naturally, “the future cannot belong to those who slander the prophet of Islam”

    Terror: part of London’s rich diversity according to the Muslim mayor.

  4. Westman says

    Mar 22, 2017 at 1:11 pm

    The NYT hasn’t gotten to the “Asian” stage even though they are quoting eyewitnesses. Obviously, the NYT is suppressing the “assailent’s” ethnic identity.

  5. mortimer says

    Mar 22, 2017 at 1:15 pm

    Now wait for all the HUGE, GIGANTIC PROTESTS BY MUSLIMS FILLING THE STREETS to protest these WANTON attacks against society done in the name of Islam!!!

    Wait for all the THOUSANDS upon THOUSANDS of Muslims saying ‘VIOLENT JIHAD HAS NOTHING TO DO WITH ISLAM!!!”

    On second thought … don’t wait for Muslims to protest en masse against jihad. Don’t hold your breath.

    Mar 22, 2017 at 1:20 pm

    I hate to say this, but the UK just deserved this. After all, this is what you get for letting in people without any control.

    It is highly likely the attacker was Muslim (what else could it be?), but I don’t want to jump on to conclusions yet. But I am pretty sure that if he was anything else than muslim, the media would be quick to reveal his religion and/or nationality.

    Yeah, I can already hear some leftist sharia-compliant crybabies blaming it on right wing extremists or on Donald Trump.

      In that case, almost every country in the West deserves this–almost all of these nations have allowed Muslims to flood in. It is just further along in some places.

    ISIS and Al-Queda propaganda call for this type of attack. Truly mentally unstable Muslims for their entire lives have imbibed in the horrors found within the Koran and then might read those filthy rags distributed by the enemy and plan an attack. That is one sort of attack we see repeated and are well aware since they are fresh in our memory. Like Nice, German Christmas market, Ohio state etc. These “lone woves” are pawns of Islam.
    Attacks like Paris, Brussels and Boston are of a MORE extremely organized and militant nature, in that fire arms and bombs are staged and used. Those attacks are well executed by soldiers of Islam. At least they consider themselves as such and some are indeed found to be militants directly in contact and working with ISIS.

    Either way those who perpetrate the attack know they are going to martyr themselves or at least its highly probable. (Also in the Koran promising paradise.) Every attack no matter what the method or size is ultimately inspired by the same source, Islamic religion.
    The next level would be something like a 911 style attack, we have seen the weapons caches uncovered in France and in Spain, those scare me the most. Imagine now what this enemy is planning and yet it all goes under reported, even the fact that Germany has closed some Mosques. Zip, zilch, zero not a word over here about it.
    There is no area for the apologists left to run. By this questioning they have painted themselves into a corner. These are simple observations that are simply not braoched by the press. The only response available for the polly’s is “dont be afraid of Islam”. These questions and observations must be brought up in the main stream. Every attack was carried out by Muslims period. There is a picture of the suspect on a stretcher just now and he is definitely of middle eastern origin. I’m Sick and tired of being sick and tired of lies.

    We have got to hold their feet to the fire.

    Sharia needs to be outlawed / denounced / shamed WORLDWIDE. Visa applicants should be required to state their opposition to it on camera – then posted on YouTube. Make the potential plotters public targets to their fellow jihadis.

  12. Walter Sieruk says

    Mar 22, 2017 at 2:09 pm

    This heinous and murderous jihad attack in London reflects s the teaching of the “holy book” of Islam, the Quran. As, for example, the Quran instructs in Sura 9:111. “The believers fight in Allah’s Cause, they slay and are slain, they kill and are killed.” Nevertheless, the apologists for Islam still have the gall to make the claim the “Islam is a peaceful religion.” What an outlandishly false claim to make

    Mar 22, 2017 at 2:15 pm

    Now the muslim mayor will say “the threat of terror attacks are “part and parcel of living in a big city”. The leaders will again do nothing. The muslims will protest that this attack has nothing to do with Islam without showing a drop of compassion for the victims.
    This cycle will continue when the next attack happens

    • Santa Voorhees says

      Mar 22, 2017 at 4:49 pm

      “Now the muslim mayor will say “the threat of terror attacks are “part and parcel of living in a big city””

      That is just crap. Tokyo is pretty big yet there’s no islamic terrorism there.

        True.

        And until recently this savagery did not happen in the West, either.

    I’ve been following Twitter feeds from Westminster. I cannot believe how many in the UK are tweeting shit like “don’t jump to conclusions.” “Please refrain from knee-jerk reactions that this incident has Islamic origins.” “We don’t know the facts about the suspect or motive as of yet so please don’t speculate.” I’m not talking about a handful of such tweets…I’m talking hundreds.

    There are unconfirmed reports of further violent activity breaking out in the vicinity.

    This could be a very long night for London.

    The ONLY way to pay tribute to the dead and wounded is for the UK to pull their collective head out of the sand.

    I just don’t get it. The fucking PARLIAMENT was attacked for Christ’s sake. If that isn’t a wake up call the phone must be broken.

    Oh…and on the anniversary of the Brussels attack? Sure…a non-Muslim “Asian” just happened to lose his shit today. Must be a twisted coincidence.

      Don’t be surprised, Ashley. I’ve come to believe that nothing, absolutely *nothing*, will wake some people up from their wilful blindness.

      But hey, Sharia May was rushed away, unharmed, so all’s good, right ?

      911 was one thing. Still, 10 years ago attacks of this nature were not this frequent in Europe as they have been since Paris Nov 2015. Remember the bombing on Easter in Turkey at a park frequented by Chtistians last year. In the next 5 or 10 years I expect we’ll unfortunately see some more of those but in Europe. We are being slowly boiled until the pot runs out of water and is replaced with contents chosen by those who are applying the heat. Ramadan looms ahead.

    How convenient, for the UK media’s defenders of Islam. Technically an “asian” man can come from as far west as Israel. That’s right. The far western border of Asia includes not only Israel but Lebanon, Armenia and Jordan (among others). But if a group of Jews from Israel committed a terrorist attack what do you think the odds are that these same fake news sites would call the “asians”?

    Amazing, the bbc news team actually used the word islamist a number of times.

    But of course to counter what must be an unintentional slip of the bbc who normally do everything to make people remain ignorant of islams actual teachings and instead do many programs looking at the plight of poor muslims, politicians including in parliment allready parrotting the usual muslim warfare lies…. nothing to do with islam, blah blah blah.

  20. dumbledoresarmy says

    Mar 23, 2017 at 7:45 am

    “Middle-aged”, eh?

    So all the usual excuses that are so often trotted out, about the attacker being some poor misguided hot-headed “youth” who was “radicalised” by being led astray by the evil influence of the internets and/ or ‘lost it’ because the surrounding British infidels wuz so mean and nasty to his poor little self, just won’t wash.
