He is, the authorities say, mentally ill, which is what authorities say about nearly all jihadis these days.
The deep denial and willful ignorance of British officials regarding the jihad threat is something they’re going to regret one day, but by then it will be far too late.
“Megabus drama Armed police scrambled to arrest ‘disruptive’ man shouting ‘praise Allah’ and ‘something’s about to happen’ on Megabus after driver evacuates passengers on M6,” by David Bateman, The Sun, July 4, 2017 (thanks to The Religion of Peace):
ARMED cops swooped on a Megabus from London last night after a “disruptive” man shouting “praise Allah” and “something’s about to happen” caused a driver to pull over and evacuate worried passengers.
Around six police cars raced to the scene on the M6 after the coach driver pulled over and alerted emergency services.
The driver then “quietly” told passengers to get off the vehicle as they waited for officers to arrive.
Student Catherine Graham was returning home from six weeks in South America when she was caught up in the incident, near Rugby, Warwickshire, shortly after midnight.
Catherine said: “A man was saying stuff out loud repeatedly on the bus which began to worry some of the passengers.
“After a few of them told the driver, the driver pulled over and alerted the police.”
The Glasgow Caledonian University student said people raised the alarm after he was heard loudly “praising Allah” and saying “something was going to happen soon”.
Ms Graham continued: “The bus driver then came up and quietly told us to get off the bus without making a noise.
“A few minutes later a police convoy of about six cars showed up with armed police too and they handled the situation.”
Warwick police said they are carrying out checks but the incident is not being treated as terrorist related and no explosives were seized.
A Warwickshire Police and West Mercia Police spokesman said: “At 11.56pm last night, officers responded to a call raising concern about a man’s behaviour on a bus on the M6 near Rugby.
“The bus stopped on Central Park Drive where a 47-year-old man from Manchester was detained under the Mental Health Act.
“He will now undergo a mental health assessment.”…

If it was a real mental illness it would have some chance of being cured.
Lia Wissing says
Shocking how many jihadis are mentally ill, isn’t it?
Dave says
EU has become Islamic Hellhole due to Left/Liberal Pro-Islam Immigration Lunacy.
Oliver says
And ig explosives and or weapons were found
Probably nothing to do with Islam and refugees.
Greyhound Fancier says
That type of behavior isn’t news any more. It’s just same old, same old…
Adrian says
Why was not a similar “mental health assessment” trotted out by the West when confronted with Stalin or Hitler?
mortimer says
The Muslim terrorists threats were VERBAL JIHAD meant to TERRORISE THE ENEMIES OF ALLAH!
K.8.60 “TURHIBUNNA” (terrorise them).

The police are again, “swooping” in to seize the culprit so they can affix the mental illness label and say, “not terror related.’ meaning, “we won’t say it’s islum related.”
tpog says
Well, of course, he’s mentally ill. As are all muslims. It’s because of the inbreeding.

Apostates from Islam are not like this–but converts *to* Islam are.
Inbreeding does not help–but it is more the ideology of Islamn than anything else that is the problem.

RCH, explain something to me — how is it that Indian government actively engages in PC “religion of piece” propaganda about muslims and islam, when those same muslims were openly slaughtering and subjugating you in the name of islam just decades ago. I can understand Western ignorance and appeasing of muslims because they have never been under islamic rule, but India…? It takes severe denial, leftist brainwashing, and possibly even Stockholm Syndrome to ignore the fact that your GRANDPARENTS were persecuted by muslims not too long ago, and now you’re trying to appease them with all you’ve got? WTF!!!

I’m afraid dhimitude is not just found in the West.

1. Hear about a terror attack; insist for hours that it wasn’t Islamic terrorism and that others are racist for thinking that it could be Islamic terrorism.
2. Watch as witnesses say they heard the attacker shout “Allahu Akbar!” Write a tweet lamenting Islamophobia.
3. Learn that the attack was, in fact, Islamic terrorism; insist this was just a “lone wolf” who watched too many ISIS videos on YouTube.
4. Learn that it wasn’t just a “lone wolf,” but rather part of a broader plot. Ignore the ramifications of this, search social media for the trending hashtag in support of the city that was attacked.
5. No matter how ridiculous the connection is, tie the attack to a Trump policy or Republican budget cuts, or Israel’s refusal to surrender their homeland to ‘Palestinians’.
6. As the attacker is identified, crow about the fact that he wasn’t a Syrian refugee, but was instead born and raised in the country that he attacked. Wonder what could have prompted a seemingly well-adjusted, educated young man to turn to violence (could it have been income inequality? Islamophobia? Climate change?)
7. Learn that the attacker recently visited a Middle Eastern country to receive terrorist training and had been known to his country’s government; applaud said government for not spying on him or detaining him simply for being a Muslim.
8. Change Facebook profile picture to a flag of the country that was attacked.
9. Worry about how the attack will impact the city’s relationship with its Muslim community while retweeting an inspiring story of survival or heroism along with the phrase “Love will always conquer hate.”
10. Stop thinking about the attack altogether. After all, it happened what, two, three days ago?

Grimly spot on.
Carolyne says
The members of government of the UK are the ones who need a mental health examination. A group which wishes to destroy one’s country and are in a position to do so surely is insane.

UK: Muslim screams “praise Allah” and “something’s about to happen” on bus, not terror related
…………………
You gotta work on this degree of denial…
Diane says
And the regressive left will call Ms. Graham a racist and an Islamophobe!
