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

UK: Witness saw Muslim with 8-inch knife heading toward Parliament building

Mar 22, 2017 11:36 am By Robert Spencer

“One witness said she saw an Asian man carrying an eight-inch knife heading towards the building.”

“Asian” is British media Newspeak for “Muslim.”

“A car on Westminster Bridge has just mowed down at least five people.”

That, also, is a common modern method of jihad.

“Parliament shooting: ‘I saw knifeman’ Witness reveals Westminster carnage,” by Katie Mansfield, Express, March 22, 2017:

A WITNESS of the Westminster attack has described the terror as she saw a knifeman running towards Parliament as three shots were fired in the London attack.

Shocked witnesses said they saw bodies lying on the ground on Westminster Bridge near Parliament.

One witness said she saw an Asian man carrying an eight-inch knife heading towards the building.

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.

“And then there were three shots fired, and then we crossed the road and looked over. The man was on the floor with blood.

“He had a lightweight jacket on, dark trousers and a shirt.

“He was running through those gates, towards Parliament, and the police were chasing him.”

Her partner David Turner added: “There was a stampede of people running out.

“You saw the people and you thought ‘what the hell is going on’.”

After the incident, Radoslaw Sikorski posted a video to Twitter purporting to show people lying injured in the road on Westminster Bridge.

Mr Sikorski, a senior fellow at Harvard’s Centre for European Studies, wrote: “A car on Westminster Bridge has just mowed down at least five people.”…

    It was only a matter of time.for it to happen.

      Yes it was. No doubt the victims were ordinary Joes rather than those inside the Houses of Parliament who got us into this situation.

        We can hope that it is close enough to get their attention, anyway.

        But even that won’t work if this is the plan of the globalist elites who seem to be running the world.

        i wish one or two inside [ the parliament] get it ie the wrath of islam .Then only they will know what jihad terror means.

      Now UK has joined Canada with its own ATTACK on the Houses of Parliament.

      When the UK journalists say, ‘Asian’, they mean ‘Muslim’.

    Even if a Muslim didn’t perpetrate this foul deed (and what are the chances of that?) the fact that anyone of sense (and even many less than sensible people) will automatically think Muslim first itself speaks volumes about the burden which Islam is to mankind.

    • Jeanette says

      Some people call it The Scourge of Islam.

      I like Pamela Geller’s label: The Army of Charles Mansons.

    It may be coincidence but;

    Erdogan News,

    After torturing Turkish seculars, he is threatening EU with his islamic terrorist … Erdogan is the leader of ISIS.

      A thought did occur that this could be the work of the “People’s Front” or one of Erdogan’s relatives.

      Mar 22, 2017 at 8:52 pm

      He doesn’t look Turkish–but right now there are so many pious Muslims calling for violent Jihad in the West that it hardly matters who he was “inspired” by.

    1 year ago today was the bombings at the Brussels airport. This reeks of a jihad attack, and we just saw Tommy Robinson pulled off the street the other day by London police.

    Now the police say it is a terror attack.

    London’s Metropolitan Police has said the attack in Westminster is being treated “as a terrorist incident until we know otherwise”.

    And what is their response? Lock down Parliment and take your leader off site.
    Brilliant, they look like cowards. What are they expecting? A “mentally ill” person with the ability to blow up the entire building after he is already dead? I know its all SOP, however at some point you need to stand your ground. More,attacks are already planned, guaranteed. While everyone is gawking at the news and determining the cause our enemy makes its assessment and follow up attacks.

    • Phil Copson says

      Mar 22, 2017 at 2:20 pm

      Exactly – the policeman and the poor woman who died, and all those injured, didn’t deserve any of this and they didn’t have the opportunity of fleeing the scene in an armour-plated limo either.
      I’m no fan of John Major (Conservative Prime Minister who succeeded Margaret Thatcher then lost the General Election to Labour’s Tony Blair, for those who forgotten him…) but to give him his due – when the IRA lobbed mortar bombs into the back-garden of 10 Downing Street, he didn’t run for his armoured car, he just moved the Cabinet meeting to another room and carried on.
      I don’t wish to see anyone suffer from terrorism, but when it does, it should happen to those who have imported it with a reckless disregard for the safety and civilisation of Europe, amongst whom is Theresa “Shariah” May, the useless former Home Secretary-turned -reluctant Brexit PM who banned Robert Spencer and Pamela Geller from the UK while giving free rein to hate-preachers and rape-gangs, and endorsing Shariah Courts.
      Now let’s see how quickly Parliament reacts when they – as opposed to helpless little girls in Rotherham, Birmingham etc – are in danger.

    It’s doubtful whether any politician will see the reality of Islam. The system needs to be flushed and re-flushed. Only then can we begin to remove the barbarians. Every. Single. One.

  11. Stan Lee says

    Mar 22, 2017 at 12:43 pm

    I see that someone on this thread casts the blame for attacks like today’s on members of Parliament.
    I’m not acquainted with the process of choosing a member of Parliament, and I have a question about how one becomes a member of Parliament. Would a member of that body be chosen, appointed, or elected by peers in his specific district? And, how long do members of Parliament serve after becoming a member?

    • Pumbar says

      Mar 22, 2017 at 6:11 pm

      Hi Stan
      Members are usually selected by their party, but there are a few indepenents. They then represent their party in the election to parliament for the ‘seat’ (area) they are standing in (yes, really). The people of that seat then vote for their preferred candidate ( most just vote for a party) and the one with the most votes heads off to Parliament. They usually stay there until the next general election, unless they retire, get bored, die or get caught by the police. Then there is a by-election in that seat for a new MP.

    • Harry says

      Mar 23, 2017 at 3:25 am

      As below.
      The prime minister is not elected by the public but is selected from the party by party members. (S)he is an MP with a “safe” seat.
      So as with Cameron, if (s)he resigns,the party just produces a replacement with no public election.
      How this is done is not immediately obvious.
      With the Tories, this used to be a very secretive affair.

  12. Schrödinger says

    Mar 22, 2017 at 12:44 pm

    Calm down citizens. Tomorrow’s newspaper headlines unanimously state:

    ‘Witnesses claimed seeing an Asian man, in his 40’s, driving into pedestrians on Westminster bridge, before jumping out of his car brandishing a large knife and shouting ‘allah u akbar’, with subsequent investigations confirming him to have been a friendly, mild mannered individual, who others in his community otherwise hardly knew, though he evidently had some hidden mental health problems, which clearly lead to him becoming self radicalised, on the internet. Members of the public are assured that at no stage were any Members of Parliament ever seriously threatened, and that the British government will, as always, be vigilant in ensuring the wider muslim community isn’t in any way stigmatised or held accountable by these actions of a lone wolf, that have nothing to do with islam. Again we emphasise there will be zero tolerance for any manifestation whatsoever of islamophobia.’

    • gravenimage says

      Mar 22, 2017 at 9:19 pm

      And don’t forget that the Imam and other members of his Mosque never recall having seen him, and that his family describe him either as mild-mannered or else having been on Prozac to handle his anxiety over “Islamophobia”…

    • Harry says

      Mar 23, 2017 at 3:18 am

      They learn this crap at the local mosques.

  13. Dawn says

    Mar 22, 2017 at 12:47 pm

    They say he was Asisn and article also said that the uk call Mulims this its sad what happened but are you surprised .We seen what has been happening in the UK Europe etc uprising of Isalm . The refugees increasing in number and most are Muslims. It isn’t going to get any better. When an incident happens , whatever the incident maybe and if it involves Muslims, Mulims cry Islamaphobia. The government buckles under preesure and the incident or incidents is basically covered up.

  14. De Doc says

    Mar 22, 2017 at 2:14 pm

    Muslim???? When I first heard the story I immediately thought Amish or Baptist.

  15. Petunia says

    Mar 22, 2017 at 3:47 pm

    Have been watching Sky News live. Various newscasters keep saying that the security at Parliament worked because the PM was whisked away, nobody hurt, etc.

    No, the security didn’t work. Not for the unarmed policeman. There have been several terror attacks in UK; why haven’t they woken up and armed their police yet?

  16. Dawn says

    Mar 22, 2017 at 4:48 pm

    This is just a rumor a friend told me

    • gravenimage says

      Mar 22, 2017 at 9:22 pm

      Dawn, this is *not* a rumor. This news is now being carried by multiple respected news sources, and is getting extensive coverage here in the United States. There are also pictures of the carnage. Are you claiming this has been staged?

  17. Matthieu Baudin says

    Mar 22, 2017 at 7:05 pm

    The surveillance cameras in Central London will provide useful information to piece together the movement of the assailant leading up to the attack. Unfortunately London’s camera overkill has shown itself to be useless in detecting and stopping a Jihadi who was resigned to die at the end of his killing spree. Britain’s police are well trained and capable, the British People are well practiced at public displays of mourning; what is lacking however is any indication of a changing attitude to Islamic Terrorism amongst the Political Leadership. Perhaps the Prime Minister needs a few more weeks, maybe until May, to show that she hasn’t come to the top job empty handed.

    • Harry says

      Mar 23, 2017 at 3:16 am

      The apologists are already frequenting our TV screens.
      No admission that he was a Muslim yet.
      Just the usual platitudes.
      The BBC being the worst.
      Self censoring the full horror of this attack.
      We need a revolution in the UK.

    Mar 23, 2017 at 3:12 am

    Note Yanks here.
    He had a knife.
    That was because he couldn’t get a gun. If he had a gun,no doubt many more would have died.
