Video: Knife-wielding “bearded man” arrested outside UK Parliament, “not thought to be terror related”

Jun 16, 2017 6:52 am By Robert Spencer

Of course it isn’t terror-related. He is probably just a knife salesman. And the denial and willful ignorance continue.

“Armed police hold man at gunpoint outside Parliament ‘after shouts of knife, knife knife,'” by Mikey Smith, Mirror, June 16, 2017:

Armed police have held a man at gunpoint outside Parliament after reported shouts of “knife, knife, knife.”

Shortly after 11.10am, armed police ran towards Carriage Gates in response to shouting from outside.

Moments later the gates to the Palace of Westminster were shut, and remain closed.

It’s understood a man is being held on the ground outside the gates. Police have been seen picking items up off the floor….

The building has not been locked down but members of the public and staff are being asked to stay on the building side of New Palace Yard.

A bearded man, wearing black trousers and a grey sweatshirt, could be seen being held against the fence with his arms behind his back by a police officer.

The incident is not thought to be terror related….

    Islamic ‘religious duties’ should not be regarded as ‘terror related’. Right?

    It’s just ‘business as usual’ by devoted adherents of the Religion of Peace to spread Al and Mo’s message of hope, peace and tolerance…

    How to stop islamic terrorism the easy way? Deny terrorist attacks are terrorst attacks.

    You know, like Obama did. “Workplace violence.” “Mental Illness.” “Lone Wolf.”

    See, terrorism is gone!

    Wakee-wake, British people. The enemy is inside the gate.

    Is there still a majority in Britain that do NOT wish to commit national suicide?

      There is but they are too cowed to speak out.Political correctness rules.The perpretrator of the tower block fire is being ignored because there is no political capital to be made from it.So the left just use it as a tool to attack the tory government.I see no way out of this situation though.Its a tragedy unfolding before our eyes.

    The UK government has obviously made it a rule NOT to identify Muslims whether they heed Jihad in their programmed Islamic minds . The government is too damned soft and listless, therefore it will allow Jihad to grow, when in reality the Jihad practice must be snuffed out. Call the UK government democratic, parliamentary, beneficent, and it all still boils down to an appeasing government scared of its own shadow..And that shadow is Islam, it cannot be denied, covered up, appeased, it laughs at the UK’s weakness to revive itself.while It’s people stand by passively, waiting for “their government” to “do something.”
    Nothings happens that way, only more days, months and years pass! If that is the way the UK wants it, they have it! If any Brits can remember when there was Great Britain, proud and free, that will require dedication to revive it. It can be done if the British people are up to the task. The first part of that task is to jettison all appeasers whatever the political party, then be sure to elect a British nationalist who believes in British sovereignty and a sensible immigration policy. The nation can be saved!

      There are so many non British people in Britain nowadays that the stalwart and sturdy character of the true Brit has been somewhat diluted.

      Look at the march about the Grenfell Tower inferno orchestrated yesterday by a known terrorist sympathiser, supposedly against the Council but in reality a great excuse to lead a pro Muslim riot and cause maximum trouble.

      Muslims seems able to riot at the drop of a hat.

        Thats because they know they will be protected.The right would have to get permission to march or even form a silent protest.The liberal left with the support of the BBC have sewn this country up ready to be handed over to the islamists.Then and only then will the British wake up .Then there will be massive bloodshed.Its all being orchestrated.

    If I can follow their thinking, an “incident” is terror-related only if there is a big enough body-count. I don’t know what the minimal number of bodies is, but zero deaths is “nothing at all here.” That’s why Britain has so many “lone wolves,” even though a bunch of people get arrested every time.

    Uh, anyone hurling a knife around in public in that way, and it IS terror related.
    Duh.

    He found it on lying on the ground and was going to turn it to the elected officials.

    He works in the circus as a knife thrower. Perfectly good explanation. No need to assume anything malicious since Islam is a religion of peace.

    ; You misunderstand, he got lost on his way to a cooking competition. It must have been that left turn at Albuquerque that misled him. You’re over-reacting.
