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

UK: Man with machete attacks two cops outside Buckingham Palace

Aug 25, 2017 7:55 pm By Robert Spencer

Right-wing extremists? Anglican fanatics?

Maybe. But there is, as unlikely as it may be, one other possibility. The Islamic State issued this call in September 2014:

So O muwahhid, do not let this battle pass you by wherever you may be. You must strike the soldiers, patrons, and troops of the tawaghit. Strike their police, security, and intelligence members, as well as their treacherous agents. Destroy their beds. Embitter their lives for them and busy them with themselves. If you can kill a disbelieving American or European — especially the spiteful and filthy French — or an Australian, or a Canadian, or any other disbeliever from the disbelievers waging war, including the citizens of the countries that entered into a coalition against the Islamic State, then rely upon Allah, and kill him in any manner or way however it may be….If you are not able to find an IED or a bullet, then single out the disbelieving American, Frenchman, or any of their allies. Smash his head with a rock, or slaughter him with a knife, or run him over with your car, or throw him down from a high place, or choke him, or poison him….

“Buckingham Palace on lockdown: Two officers injured as police arrest driver in his twenties ‘armed with a MACHETE’ after he stops his car on the Mall – as terrified tourists look on,” by Abe Hawken, Mailonline, August 25, 2017:

Buckingham Palace is on lockdown after police arrested a man who allegedly attacked two officers while armed with a sword in front of frightened tourists.

Police stopped the man on the Mall at 8.35pm and discovered he was carrying a knife and two officers suffered ‘minor injuries’ to their arms when they detained him.

The man, who is in his 20s, was arrested on suspicion of grievous bodily harm and assault on police. Officers remain outside the world famous building this evening.

One witness described seeing the man wrestled from a car by police having apparently driven his vehicle towards them.

Kiana Williamson said: ‘We turned up and there was one police van and one car, there was also a civilian’s car that had veered towards the police car.

‘They were trying to get the man out of the car, shouting, more police were arriving on to the scene and the man was fighting back.

‘I saw one injured policeman with an injury to his arm although it didn’t look severe. He was being tended to by another officer.

‘The man had been restrained and looked almost unconscious by the side of the road.

‘I didn’t see the car driving but the car had been left at the side of the road and an eye witness had said that he had driven towards the police car.’

The whole encounter lasted around one minute, she added.

Social media users suggested the alleged attacker was carrying a sword – while others said he was holding a machete.

The Metropolitan Police said it was too early to know whether the incident was terror related….

    It will take some time to find out if he did not take his meds that day. Then to figure if just a lone wolf or a known wolf

    http://www.mirror.co.uk/news/uk-news/buckingham-palace-arrest-knifeman-confronted-10488608

    no-one was injured in the incident and that it is not thought to be related to terrorism.

    “A knife was recovered,” the spokeswoman said. “The man has been taken to a central London police station.”

    The poor guy does look confused in the pictures and fortunately the police officers seem to be very helpful.
    Very good photos of the arrested and soon some one will come up with the name.

      My error,
      The link refers to the 24th of May 2017 attack.
      Mortimer sort of wised me up to that saying it was the 2nd attack near Buckingham.

      It will take even longer to determine what his motive was. I’m taking bet that his name was either Mohamed or a variation thereof.

    Anglican fanatics? Count on it … after this. Many ‘Anglican fanatics’ will now be watching for those who wish to threaten the life of their Queen.

    To borrow the alleged words of Admiral Yamamoto, “They have merely awakened a SLEEPING GIANT and filled him with a TERRIBLE RESOLVE when they threatened the Queen.”

    I predict there will be a new chill in the air towards Islam in the UK.

        I’m reminded of an old western song, “I Really Don’t Want To Know”, which should be a liberal media theme song.

        How many arms have you chopped off
        And hated Jews for Mo
        How many, how many I wonder
        But I really don’t want to know

        So always make media wonder
        Always make them guess
        And even if they ask you, jihadists
        Don’t confess

      • Michael Copeland says

        Aug 26, 2017 at 12:39 am

        IRA? Enosis? ETA? Red Brigades? Basque Separatists?

        Obviously more research is needed.

    First they shouted in the streets of London to behead those who insult Islam.

    Then they blew up the London underground on 7/7.

    Then they attacked and killed the Queen’s soldier Fusilier Lee Rigby

    Then they attacked the Queen’s parliament and killed Cst.Keith Palmer.

    Now they have attacked the Queen’s home planning to attack and kill the Queen.

    Islam is at war with the United Kingdom. Only complete submission is acceptable to Muslims.

    Brits, WAKE UP. THE WAR IS BEING FOUGHT IN THE STREETS.

    This is the second reported BIG KNIFE (SWORD) attack in 2017 at Buckingham Palace. On May 24, 2017, a man with a jihad beard was arrested on the Mall in front of Buckingham Palace with a knife at least 18 inches long. (see pic)

    http://www.telegraph.co.uk/news/2017/05/24/man-knife-arrested-outside-buckingham-palace-moments-queen-drives/

    “The Metropolitan Police said the incident, at around 10.40am on Wednesday, is not believed to be terror-related.”

    See picture: http://metro.co.uk/2017/05/24/man-armed-with-a-knife-arrested-close-to-buckingham-palace-6658408/

    There have been a number of terror attacks in UK in 2017.

      I figure they are also trying to maybe get one of the royals.
      I see on the “mirror” link I put up above, in the video 34 sec. that it seems that a royal/queen? in her limo passed by right on the 33 second mark during the arrest.
      So whether the assailant’s timing is just a minute or so wrong?
      They will just keep trying and testing, and eventually something will break through.
      Then will the “sleeping lion” awake, or will be just be gummy bite as liberal left will rule and so all is ok.

      Sorry the link says to log in and 5 free articles and then to subscribe.
      Would not let me open article even though I used search as another way to try.

      If there is just a little to copy/paste to give us the idea? Or even the name of the publication

      I presume if it is a good article then it would be showing how one religion tries to use the relevancy points that others do it so it can not be so bad.,

    Isn’t it interesting that the symbol of a sword comes up so often in islamic graphics? And their symbol is the crescent, like those curved swords they sometimes have. All in the name of ‘allah’…

    • mortimer says

      Aug 26, 2017 at 12:32 am

      The Saudi flag has a sword on it. Coincidence?

    • manat bint allaha says

      Aug 26, 2017 at 12:41 am

      speaking of crescent, whenever i see it on top of a minaret, it makes me think of the devil’s horns.

    F–ing Moslems, Always the same story with these nutjobs! We don’t need anymore of these brain dead b–tards in any civilized country. Get rid of the ones who are already here, Easier said then done, I know. But, We have to start somewhere and there’s no time as the present they say.

    Sebastian Gorka just resigned. The President is now the only soul in the West Wing who has even the slightest comprehension of the Islamic threat. He’s surrounded by Useful Idiots subversive to Liberty’s posterity:

    Trump is in trouble now with Sebastian Gorka gone as the OBAMA/CLINTON people are still there & they are tied in to the Muslim Brotherhood & Bannon & Gorka know this !
    Why TRUMP has left Mc Master in is another issue ???
    NOT at ALL GOOD as the chance of getting the BROTHERHOOD OUT now are SLIDING AWAY !

    As the mayor of London says they just have to get used to living like this now. It’s just a part of everyday life so stop worrying. This is the new norm, so Don’t Worry Be Happy. I’m sure it must have been a Buddhist or Hindu. You know, an Asian.

    But Theresa May has stopped people talking on the internet about Jihad and other hate crimes! How can this happen?
