UK: Second Muslim arrested in connection with Buckingham Palace sword jihad attack

Aug 27, 2017 7:06 am By Robert Spencer

Two lone wolves, so now it is an “isolated incident.” If they find one more lone wolf, we will elevate to “Muslims fear backlash.”

“Second man arrested over Buckingham Palace terror alert,” Sky News, August 27, 2017:

A 30-year-old man is held by police after officers outside the Royal residence were attacked by a terror suspect with a 4ft sword.

A second man has been arrested on suspicion of terror offences after three police officers were attacked outside Buckingham Palace.

The 30-year-old from west London is suspected of being involved in the commission, preparation or instigation of terrorism, Met Police said.

On Friday, a 26-year-old man from Luton was arrested after injuring three officers in Constitution Hill, a restricted area close to the Royal residence, shortly after 8.30pm.

The suspect drove a blue Toyota Prius “deliberately” at a marked patrol car before being confronted by officers.

He then reached for a 4ft sword in the passenger footwell and repeatedly shouted “Allahu Akbar” – God is greatest – during a struggle with officers, police said.

The suspect was detained under the Terrorism Act 2000 and a warrant for the extension of his detention has been granted.

Commander Dean Haydon, of the Metropolitan Police counter-terrorism branch, praised the bravery and courage of the injured officers in “quickly bringing the incident under control”.

He added he was confident that it was an “isolated incident”….

        Alas, what this clip demonstrates is the success of the Coudenhove-Kalergi Plan in the UK.

    I really like this ‘lone wolf’, ‘isolated incident’ and ‘nothing to do with islam’ routine. My parents and grandparents knew all about this sort of thing in London about 77 years ago when all these ‘lone wolves’ happened to come across from Germany in Messerschmidts in a lot of strangely coincidental ‘isolated incidents’ that of course has nothing to do with the Third Reich. Neville Chamberlain would probably have said that all had mental health issues if he’s thought of that excuse. Incidentally, I’ve just got hold of the book of Hitler’s plans for the UK and what he’s so with the UK population if he’d invaded. Makes interesting reading when you see some of the things that are going on here now.

    One man chanting “allahu akhbar,” holding a Quran, posting statements praising ISIS = Lone Wolf.
    Two men chanting “allahu akhbar,” holding a Quran, posting statements praising ISIS = “Authorities mystified, cannot figure out motive for attack”
    Three men chanting “allahu akhbar,” holding a Quran, posting statements praising ISIS = “Police rule out terror motive, find no connection to ISIS”.
    More than three men chanting “allahu akhbar,” holding a Quran, posting statements praising ISIS = “Trump tweets held responsible for attack.”

      Or men chanting allah akbar, driving a car fast through a crowd or into police, then jumps out with a sword or other sharp object, is a prequel to the far-right attack inspired by Trump. So every terrorist attack thereafter can only be blamed on Trump and his supporters or Trump’s tweets for short!!

        Right!

        Breakdown of excuses by number in party:

        1 = lone wolf
        2 = a couple of “lone” wolves
        3 = mental illness suspected
        4 = backlash against ‘islamophobia’
        5 = muslims fearing backlash due to incident with 4 attackers above
        6 = backlash against ‘islamophobia’ that came as a result of 5 attackers above
        7 = backlash against far right for their predicted outcry against their plans for a future attack involving 8 attackers
        8 = giving reason for backlash for item above
        9 = backlash against far right and any tweets Trump posted about this so far, may post in the future, or that ever may be or have been posted by him in any way, shape, or form that are remotely related to this, or some perceived connection can be established by the left
        10 or more = motive unknown

          These comments are priceless! I know it’s a serious topic but Brits can just say it like it is, lance the boil and vent the storm.
          And in the face of all this total PC crap that is forming a stranglehold on sane people, it can be a blessed relief!

    How many “isolated incidents” do they need to experience, before they start looking for a cause, the authentic cause? The ignorance of the Europeans during the Plague was forgivable; they had no way of understanding the source or the cure. After over two hundred years of living with the scientific method, they have no excuse for self-imposed ignorance.
    By the way, did the cops haul in the imam yet? Cherchez l’imam.

    • dumbledoresarmy says

      Aug 27, 2017 at 9:28 am

      Not just the imam.

      They should be surprise-raiding and searching every known mosque in Luton and west London, already.

    Two attacks, one in Brussells, one in London, both targeting police – the representatives and (at least theoretically) defenders of Infidel law and order.

    Both involved edged weapons.

    Both involved Muslims – their ethnicity is entirely irrelevant – howling the traditional Islamic war cry, ‘allahu-akbar’.

    Both on FRIDAY, *the* preferred Mohammedan day for murder and mayhem.

    The men engaged in these attacks were NOT hot-headed teenagers, not ‘youths’.

    These two blokes were 26 and 30 – of full age. The bloke in Brussells was 30.
    And probably one should say, of the Brussells attacker, that he was *at least* 30.
    The two blokes from London and Luton, if British-born, *will* be dateable fairly reliably, because most likely born in a hospital and therefore recorded by Infidel witnesses.

    And.. . Luton. That is a *heavily* Islamised area, a hotbed of jihad, swarming with Mohammedans. No surprise whatever that a Jihadi would emerge from *there*.

    In the light of this upsurge of Jihad the British police should be armed. Then, perhaps, this sword-waving allahu-akbaring thug would be dead, just like the thug in brussells who got blown away by the backup cops the instant he stabbed a policeman.

    The cry of “Allahu Akbar!” is thoughtfully not mentioned by the egregious BBC.

    I’m sure it was an “isolated” incident – isolated meaning to that specific hour. But Europe has suffered almost daily “isolated” attacks like this. How many more will have to be injured or die before authorities connect the dots and start to take real action.

    Good police work! Absolutely amazing that it happened in UK. Perhaps the Mussie terrorist insisted upon arrest? Well, now what? A portion of Fish & Chips for him and a “Get out of jail free card?”

  9. Karen says

    Slightly off topic, but….

    How would this “incident” be judged in one of Britan’s sharia courts, were they allowed criminal cases? Obviously the accused would be judged by the standards of Islam and declared innocent, since he is serving the interests of Islam and fighting the unbelievers.

    So why should sharia courts be allowed to adjudicate family law and other civil cases?

    In reality what’s going to happen is security will be stepped around Buckingham Palace. If one terrorist can make his way there so easily, the possibility that a group of lone wolves can lay in wait and ambush the Royal family as they are coming and going, has to be considered. Here’s where it is counter intuitive, even as Islamic attacks increase in frequency across Europe, the politicians continue to bring in more Muslim immigrants. The idea being that the security services, can manage an ever expanding terror watch list. In France it has gotten so bad they’ve had to bring the military onto the street. Both Belgium and the UK have also brought the troops onto the streets to deal with the threat of Islamic terrorism.

    Sleepwalking Express

    What we are seeing across Europe is an increase in the number of gas canister bombs, in connection with Islamic terrorism. Barcelona probably got off lightly the other day. In Sweden there was also gas canisters involved, when the van ploughed into pedestrians, but it did not go off. Since we are sleepwalking into the future, what we might be looking at is car bombs in traffic, at busy intersections or in shopping areas.

    Backlash..

    As for backlash… I think we need some backbone. The UK needs to ask itself what Churchill would have done? Probably not allow a terror watch list to grow, to look like a small army. So dispersed that any part of the country could come under attack, or simultaneously.

    At the moment every terrorist attack or incident is played down. Blamed on things like integration and racism [i.e. blamed on non-Muslims], but Pakistan is an integrated or homogeneous society, that is about 97% Muslim, with the most severe Islamophobia-blasphemy laws, yet still has the most terrorist attacks in the world.

    The west needs to rethink its strategy on Islam or a lot of people are going to die.

    Why do not these so called Moderate Muslims get of their backsides and start complaining AGAINST THE FELLOW MUSLIMS THAT ARE CAUSING THESE VIOLENT ACTS ,Instead of shouting islamophobia , THERE IS A WORD FOR THAT CHRISTOPHOBIA .

  12. Anne Smith says

    Aug 28, 2017 at 6:42 am

    The Police must know that attacks are planned and are expecting it, but still they have unarmed police officers trying to defend the public and the Palace.
    A couple of months ago we were in a taxi going down the Mall and every taxi was pulled over, all those with Muslim drivers were directed into a parking area and the vehicles were thoroughly searched. (The hold up was huge – probably the most expensive taxi ride to Kings Cross of all time.)
    They were clearly expecting something to be planned.

    Perhaps it would be more productive if the mosques were subject to proper surveillance and our politicians were made aware of what the Quran actually commands its followers to do against non Muslims. The big question is how can we make this happen?

    I wonder if this would have just been a lone wolf attack if the Queen or other member of the Royal Family were harmed. How would Theresa May (or may not) react. would everything still be rosy in merry old England (pakistan north)?

  16. Dacritic says

    Aug 28, 2017 at 8:14 pm

    Buckingham Palace? Well, that should wake the Queen up about ISLAMIC TERROR, shouldn’t it? Time for the royal family to make themselves useful to the country they’ve been sucking on for so many centuries.
