Jihad Watch

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

London: Man arrested after driving car into crowd of pedestrians outside Natural History Museum

Oct 7, 2017 11:00 am By Robert Spencer

Another jihad attack? Maybe.

Last June, the Islamic State published a poster depicting an SUV driving over a heap of skulls and bearing the legend “Run Over Them Without Mercy.”

And 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….

“Car hits pedestrians outside Natural History Museum in London,” by Nicola Slawson, Guardian, October 7, 2017:

Several people have been injured after a car reportedly drove into people outside London’s Natural History Museum.

Scotland Yard said a number of pedestrians had been injured in the incident in Exhibition Road in South Kensington shortly after 2.20pm on Saturday.

A spokesperson said: “It is not being treated as a terrorist incident at this stage while we establish what has happened.”

Pictures and footage shared on social media showed street damage and a large police presence in the capital’s museum district, which is home to the NHM, the Science Museum and the Victoria and Albert Museum.

One video showed a man being restrained on the ground in the middle of Exhibition Road. None of the four people around him were in police uniform. A black Toyota car is behind them with the driver’s door open, and it appears to have collided with a silver Vauxhall saloon.

Police have described the incident in the South Kensington area of London as a collision and said the motive for the incident was under investigation.

A Metropolitan police spokesman said: “Officers are on scene, and the London ambulance service have been called. A man has been arrested at the scene.”…

      And once again as usual, chickenshit, muzzie pandering Dailyfail is not accepting comments on this. Any other criminal, especially Polish, is splashed out, and of course allowed comments up the yinyang.

      Wondering how much percentage of shares of this pathetic rag are currently owned by sowdis.Enough apparently to influence the slant of the peoples’ opinon allowed. Slowly but surely, free speech dies.

    That Muslim man who had deliberately run into a crown of non-Muslims is many awful things. First his action was vicious and cruel and most likely done with murderous intentions. This is brutal harshness. To be more specific , this is an example of brutal Islamic harshness. Second, the harshness of that Muslim’s fiendish action was Quran based .For the Quran in 9:123 instructs “O you who believe ! Fight those of the disbeliever who are close to to, and let them find harshness in you…”
    This ,for sure, fits the description of that malicious jihad vehicle assault which did indeed show “harshness,.” that is Islamic harshness.

    • Frank Anderson says

      Walter, criminal law is a 2 semester hour course in the first year of US accredited law schools. One of the first cases in that “short” course (most are 3 hours, some for 2 semesters) is one where a man fires a rifle into a passing rail car of passengers, killing one. His defense argument was that he did not know the victim (the competent and zealous defense lawyer had to try) and did not intend to kill that particular person. The court ruled that the shooter had “universal malice”: He wanted to kill someone and it didn’t matter who he killed, only that he intended the natural, reasonably foreseeable result of firing a rifle into a passenger car. I think this connects with the story because again we see criminal conduct being “aided, abetted, counseled, and acted in furtherance” by the writings, teachings and practices of evil. “The acts of one are the acts of all; the knowledge of one is the knowledge of all.” See, for example, 18 United States Code Section 2, which of course does not apply elsewhere unless a US citizen is injured, kidnapped or killed..

        From my point of view, the worse crime is being committed by our so called leaders and politicians that took oaths to protect and defend our country and constitution. That “our” means any country that has popularly elected representatives and has a constitution that includes protecting the rights of the citizens. That crime is failure to protect and defend the country and the constitution.

        Instead of calling out and going after the state sponsors (direct and indirect) and failing to call out and go after the corporate or wealthy sponsors, we instead see these terrorist acts described as “lone wolf” or “criminal acts.” The government can therefore gloat when a handful of these miscreants get arrested and incarcerated. Meanwhile, an active war has been declared against us and the state sponsors are not identified and neutralized.

        These are acts of war against you and I. Our politicians refuse to accept this and deal with it appropriately. At least Poland, Hungary, and the Czechs and Slovaks seem to be getting it right.

        • Frank Anderson says

          Oct 7, 2017 at 6:55 pm

          Guy, continuing your argument, look at how under US law, aiding, abetting, counseling and acting in furtherance, makes one equally guilty of the crime. Under US law giving support to an enemy in time of war is treason. Under US law 1) any agreement 2)between two or more people 3) for an unlawful purpose or to use unlawful means for an otherwise lawful purpose and 4) any affirmative act however trivial in furtherance is a conspiracy. When the inmates are running the asylum, we are in great danger. Will anyone ever enforce the law?

        • Bob says

          Oct 8, 2017 at 7:04 am

          Amen, Guy – our politicos’re afraid of islam. They’re afraid that if they actually take action against them, even those caryying their appalling banners, proclaiming “Sharia for the UK” and “To hell with democracy” and so forth, even the ‘moderate’ mudslimes will riot, and then on whom will they be able to pile the blame since it’s not acceptable to accuse the mahommadons of anything unpeaceful?

    • J_not_a says

      Oct 7, 2017 at 11:08 pm

      Yep. But the “Poles” are just the worst thing ever to the average Brit. Never mind muslims, don’t ever see any headlines derogatory about them, ever.

      Look at the headlines most days. If there is ever a crime by a Polish person, it will be screamed out in the headline and several times throughout the article. The Polish are the very worst blight that ever happened to the UK. (no I’m not Polish but I like and respect Polish people)

    What is a Vauxhall saloon…never heard this term.? Here we go again they really are on a tear….hopefully not a terror attack used to distract ……larger preparations. Hope all can recover that were injured.

    • Jayell says

      Oct 7, 2017 at 1:07 pm

      Vauxhall is a bit like Ford, just run-of-the mill British car make, a subsidiary of General Motors, I believe. There are millions of Vauxhall saloons cars in the road.

      • Michael Copeland says

        Vauxhall in the UK – Opel in other countries probably.

  9. Ragdoll says

    Oct 7, 2017 at 12:00 pm

    My sister was there at the museum when the attack happened, along with her husband, 3 year old boy and 6 month old daughter. Luckily she was already inside the museum, but a couple of hours would have made all the difference.
    I’m so glad that she is ok and no-one (yet) has died of their injuries, but the hatred and revulsion I feel towards this terrorist and his ilk is too much to bear.
    I know it’s been asked as a rhetorical question on Jihad Watch many times, but what can the average person actually *do* about this threat? It seems that trying to educate people about jihad and Islam falls into two categories – people who already know (the majority of Jihad Watch readers), and those who are in complete denial that there is any problem. I just want to feel like I can do something constructive rather than hand-wringing from the sidelines.

    http://www.express.co.uk/news/uk/863507 – Witnesses reported that he was soaked with blood and “laughing”. – London police said they were keeping an open mind after a car collided with pedestrians outside the city’s Natural History Museum, contradicting an earlier comment that they were not treating the incident as terrorism-related.

        So open-minded, what little brains they had have fallen out.

  13. Jayell says

    Oct 7, 2017 at 1:10 pm

    A spokesperson said: “It is not being treated as a terrorist incident at this stage while we establish what has happened.” In other words, they’re trying to think of a good whitewash until someone spills the beans.

    • Jayell says

      Oct 7, 2017 at 1:11 pm

      Sorry, just looked at that picture of the driver. Forget the ‘whitewash’ bit.

      It’ll be claimed by ISIS no matter if it was, possibly only, a traffic accident..

    • J_not_a says

      Oct 8, 2017 at 9:40 am

      Amazing, isn’t it, how quickly these cops can ascertain every time in these cases so definitively that it is NOT islamic terrorism. Wherever did they acquire such superpowers?

    Every single day there is a knife attack, acid attack, car ramming into people, rape, beating by Muslims against non Muslims. What is the goal? I think it is to impose by means of violence and intimidation the islamic ways unto the infidels.

    • Guy Forester says

      Oct 7, 2017 at 6:47 pm

      It is called war. You and I and our system of beliefs and way of life are the targets. The lefty loons running the show refuse to name the problem and refuse to act accordingly.

      Sadly, no matter who we vote in, we get the same inaction or incompetent garbage coming out of our so called leaders. Meanwhile protest against or fail to pay your taxes and the SWAT guys will do a no knock raid at 1:00 AM that you may not survive, even if it turned out they got the wrong address.

    1. We’re lucky to have early images via JW – the BBC and SkyNews are already pixelating the scumbag’s face in case we draw any ethnic conclusions.
    2. The MSM’s trying to spin it as “road rage” or a “routine traffic incident”. If you drive in London regularly, you learn to steer well clear of a certain kind of young male driver, especially of he has another one like him in the passenger seat. All the media appeasement and pandering to the melanistically-gifted dross from north of the Sahara has created a sense of entitlement, a knowledge that they – especially Moslems – can act with impunity, then play the victim card if caught. Not jihad really – just a convenient spinoff: the untouchables.
    3. “Covered in blood and laughing” is a jihadi-marker – the “speedball” of amphetamines and opium stuffed into the cheek is a hallmark of the “mentally disturbed” Islamic terrorist – feel no pain, leave your humanity at home, do the deed and enjoy it, courtesy of chemical assistance.
    4. “Mentally disturbed” may well be a fact – where do you think the old farts who commission these vile acts find their best recruits? Answer – among the already displaced, disturbed, neurotic, paranoid youth who have flipped far enough to be in psycho care, or known to the psychiatric medical community. It’s no excuse – where better to find living delivery systems for a mad ideology than among the ranks of, and in the care homes for, the genuinely mad?

    Take care out there, everyone and if all else fails, as Churchill told the Brits when they were still real people, if all seems lost, take a couple of the swine with you. I sure as whatever will.

    Those pedestrians will be charged for running at the car of an immigrant who has mental health issues and needs a bigger apartment.
    Dirty sidewalk walkers. Ban them all, I say.
    The pedestrians may be sued for damage to his car with their actual body parts. Soft tissue on immigrants cars and knives and hamers will be the law soon. Hard places like knees and elbows will be islamophobic when running at a hammer, IF the pedestrian assialants could have used. Some soft tissue parts during their attack. This is a grey area.
    Best to rum into the cars with your stomache, just to be safe from lawsuit.

  19. Michael Copeland says

    Oct 7, 2017 at 5:13 pm

    All credit to the civilians who swiftly responded and held the driver down.
    We must all keep alert, and be ready to make quick decisions, like the brave US servicemen and the civilian who tackled the armed jihadi on the Brussels train.

    Blood and mayhem on the streets, “Just wait”, we were warned.
    There will be more of this.

  20. Patrick says

    Oct 7, 2017 at 5:20 pm

    Why don’t the media call it for what it is, they are going to hide this now, i mean media have been hiding the Islamization of Europe for a while now, as they are owned by the Globalists. This dude looks like he’s from Easter Africa, my African spouse has showed me for years now how to tell them apart. He looks Somalian, or origins in that part of Africa. This has jihadist written all over it!

      There sure do seem to be a lot of these type of “accidents” these days, and not long, coincidentally, after IS’ directive to commit vehicular jihad.
      The authorities are always so quick to say it isn’t “terrorism-related”;
      Smells awfully fishy to me.

      Yes, butbhow to convince our politicos of that. It ain’t PC for starters, plus thevfact tha both they and the police’re terrified of starting up full-scale muckhead riots. So much easier to arrest the groups who’re honestly trying to,oppose the growth of the death cult in the UK!

    • David M says

      Oct 8, 2017 at 8:11 pm

      It’s their new tool, don’t disclose the Muslim names, look at the recent London train bombings & how long it took for them to release the names. Compare that to the instant release of the Las Vegas patsys name, because he was white.

  25. David M says

    Oct 8, 2017 at 8:15 pm

    It’s the MSM’s new agenda, don’t disclose the Muslim names, as per the recent London train bombings. They have no shame.
