UK: Muslim screaming “Allahu akbar” attacks police, “not being treated as terror related”

Jun 19, 2017 12:15 pm By Robert Spencer

The Express URL for its article below is “http://www.express.co.uk/news/uk/818779/paddington-station-terror-police-attacked-Allahu-Akbar.”

However, “Allahu akbar” doesn’t appear in the Express article. Also, the article says, “The Twitter user who posted the video of the man being detained wrote: ‘Just witnessed a Man trying to attack an officer at Paddington Station.'” But that’s not really what the Twitter user wrote. He actually wrote: “Just witnessed a Man trying to attack an officer at Paddington Station whilst shouting ‘Allahu Akbar’ and other foreign words #LondonAttack”:

Here is his video of the aftermath of the attack:

Why did the Express scrub “Allahu akbar” from its report? On whose orders? Was it an internal decision, or did someone outside the Express contact the paper and pressure it?

“Police swoop on Paddington station as ‘armed man tries to attack police officer,'” by Joey Millar, Express, June 19, 2017:

POLICE rushed to Paddington Station and arrested a man on suspicion of possessing an offensive weapon this lunchtime.

A video taken at the scene shows officers restraining a man on the ground.

The topless man is shown being pinned by three officers in the middle of a busy road.

A crowd of people watch on as the man before the struggling man is led away by police.

A video taken earlier shows the man taunting an officer, grabbing a passer-by’s suitcase and running about the London Street exit.

The Twitter user who posted the video of the man being detained wrote: “Just witnessed a Man trying to attack an officer at Paddington Station.”…

“The incident is not being treated as terror related.”

    …………………………

    More suicidal denial…

      If crying “Allahu Akbar” is not evidence of intent, why is expressing a desire to kill all Muslims evidence of intent ?

      Or have the police thrown out justice and logic and reason as well as knowledge ?

        It’s not the police it’s their politically correct masters, the media and the communists, liberals, plus an indifferent or cowed public.

      It can’t be terror-related. It’s not as though he had said “Allahu akbar”. Oh, wait….

      Noteworthy that the Finsbury Mosque attack by a ‘white man’ was declared terrorism almost immediately,
      but when a Muslim clearly is attacking non Muslims shouting “allahu akbar” the police take time to categorise it as terrorism!

        Yes, the government, police, and left wing press have accepted dhimmi status and do not say anything anti-Islamic. It annoys me how lying liberal twits and Muslims say that terrorist acts by devout Muslims killing in the name of Allah have nothing to do with ISlam.

        It is the typical response of “Progressives” to distort and present a false image to advance their agenda. With “Progressives” one always has to ask “What is the unstated goal?”.

      For every such incident deport 1000 of them to their hellholes

    Probably self-censorship on the part of “the Express.” Panicky avoiding to be called “Islamophobic bigots” if they will dare to include that “Allahu Akbar” section which, I am sure, they would not be even capable to translate properly.

    How bizarre that this huge uptick in violent attacks in England coincides with that cult’s migration to England, France, Germany, etc.
    How is it that some believe that it’s wrong to call this stuff what it is-ISLAMIC violence. It IS what that doctrine demands of OBSERVANT idolater-muslims. Wake up!
    Rise up! Claim your rights!

  4. Donald R Laster Jr says

    Jun 19, 2017 at 12:37 pm

    The “Progressives” in the UK are trying to cover up that Islamics are violent and engaged in an orchestrated war against non-Islamics and those they don’t believe are Islamic enough.

    It’s no wonder they took it out. The writing is atrocious and some of it makes little sense.

    “A crowd of people watch on as the man before the struggling man is led away by police. ”

    Call me a word nasi….but he was not a “topless man”

    They can’t write the truth. May as well write terribly over-all.

    Biased BBC is at it again. BBC could not control itself and promptly named the van driver in the Finsbury attack. Remember, they held off naming the muslim attackers in the last three attacks (called out their ethnic origins, instead). Then BBC does the unthinkable. It blames the attacker “for attacking muslims who were praying”. Why did they not use the same tact when the three terror attacks happen in the last three months?

      That would cause people to think about the fact that the Islamics are doing what Islamics have been doing for 1400 years ever since Mohammad’s lies were rejected. Remember, under Islam the victim is responsible for what happens to them,

      Of interest is I read in an article that indicated the driver was waving to the people as they came out of the Mosque. So this may be a classic “distracted driver incident”. But the “event reporters” will probably still claim it was terrorism regardless of the facts of the case.

    Huge coverage of the incident at Finsbury-Park Mosque, while the facts about the attack on a police officer at Paddinton Station are being twisted and the whole incident will probably be swept under the carpet. As usual, mainstream media are applying double standards. I am so sick of that!

    IT`S CALLED A GOVERNMENT D-NOTICE TO ALL MEDIA NOT TO REPORT CERTAIN FACTS THEY DEEM NOT TO BE IN THE PUBLIC INTEREST

    The UK is much worse than France. I’ll never go to the UK again.

    If screaming Allahu Akbar isn’t terror related, then PLEASE tell me what is!! How are they going to identify anything as terror related if they can’t even define what it is? Screaming “allahu akbar” is one of the first things that terrorists yell out. This is getting more ridiculous by the second.

      The people in control of the government don’t want to admit to their failures of protecting the country. They don’t want to admit that they allowed these invaders in and these invaders are waging war against the native people of the country.

      • DFD says

        Jun 20, 2017 at 1:28 pm

        What failure? They ***SUCCEED***! Like the Merkel, Sarkozy/Hollande/Macron, Rutte and the other regimes of W. Europe.

        • Donald R Laster Jr says

          Jun 20, 2017 at 5:13 pm

          I don’t disagree for the most part but so many of the others don’t want to admit to their failures.

    Standard procedure in suspected Terror cases to get the shirt off the restrained attacker quickly to check if he’s is wired with explosives.
