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

UK: Gunshots fired at London tube station, police responding “as if the incident is terrorist related”

Nov 24, 2017 12:41 pm By Robert Spencer

UPDATE: London’s Metropolitan Police tweeted: “We have not located any trace of suspects, evidence of shots fired or casualties. Officers still on scene. If you are in a building stay there, if you are on the street in #OxfordStreet leave the area. Officers continue to search the area. More updates as soon as we have them.”

——

When police say they’re responding “as if the incident is terrorist related,” it’s unlikely they’re referring to an action by “right-wing extremists.” This is generally understood to mean that this is an Islamic jihad attack. So if this does turn out to be a jihad terror attack, how long before the first establishment media report that Muslims in London are bracing for an “anti-Muslim backlash”?

“BREAKING NEWS: Hundreds evacuated from Oxford Circus ‘as gunshots are fired’ and armed police surround tube station while shoppers are locked in stores,” by Stewart Paterson, Mailonline, November 24, 2017:

Hundreds have been evacuated from Oxford Circus tube station amid reports of gunshots at the tube station and on Oxford Street.

Armed police have arrived on scene and are responding ‘as if the incident is terrorist related’ after reports of shots fired.

Hundreds of terrified shoppers who had flocked to the street on the one of the busiest days of the year fled the streets as police forced everyone into stores.

The area is now in lockdown, however it is still unclear if this is gang-related.

Greg Bird told MailOnline he was sat outside a coffee shop near Oxford Circus station when he saw ‘about 50 people sprinting around the corner and screaming’.

He left the scene and is unsure what is happening now but said armed police are still heading towards the station.

One witness who was in Zara on Oxford Street told MailOnline that a man with a gun walked in and ‘everyone was screaming’ and they were led out of the store.

London’s Metropolitan Police said: ‘Police were called at 16:38hrs on Friday, 24 November to a number of reports of shots fired on Oxford Street and underground at Oxford Circus tube station.

‘Police have responded as if the incident is terrorist related. Armed and unarmed officers are on scene and dealing along with colleagues from British Transport Police.

‘If you are on Oxford Street go into a building and stay inside until further direction.

‘At this stage police have not located any causalities.’

British Transport Police said that Bond Street tube station has also been closed. …

    Something funny (for a change) from Europe,
    ————————————————————

    1) UK: A 40 year old woman takes court action in order to get “sleeping beauty” banned from school. Reason, sexism! Sleeping Beauty has not given consent to be kissed and the scene could give or mislead boys into wrong attitudes towards women. She does not want her son to be exposed to “this”… Am I kidding, no! Go to tinyurl.com/yd45988o (Daily Express)

    2) GerMoney, much better, **far more funny!**
    ===================================

    I am sure most of you remember the “Refugees Welcome” committees at the train stations, throwing teddy bears (handed out by the NWO’s sorry, NGO’s – or is that NOGO’s?) the left parties, the CDU etc. A lot of these people also signed on as guarantors. In their enthusiasm. If you have a financial guarantor it makes it a lot easier to get asylum in GerMoney.

    The first bills are now arriving, reaching up t €700,000.00 (~ $710k) !!!! Har, Hah hah, harde-har-har! Forgive me, that was my evil Prof. Moriarty laughter…

    They protested, the dhimmi church leaders already said that the tax payer should shoulder this in ‘solidarity’. The German Tax Payer’s Union/Organization however said: “No!” Their reasoning being that if somebody signs something as guarantor, that person guarantees, not the taxpayer.

    Sounds reasonable, no?

    Many or several sources, here’s one of them: tinyurl.com/y97mr6q6 It’s “Compact Magazine”, in German

      Glad to hear about this resistance from the German taxpayers, DFD!

    The jihadist’s attacks in Western nations be the Muslim terrorists as seen in that such vicious malicious and murderous jihad attacks with the heinous Islamic intention of inflecting “great slaughter” occur in the cities of the West. Such cities as London, New York city Manchester Barcelona, Stockholm, Brussels, Stockholm, Paris, Nice, Berlin, Madrid and so forth. Those jihad-minded Muslim terrorists who engage in those vicious Islamic terror attacks cannot be and will not be reasoned with. They will not respond to either logic or reason. They aren’t interested, at all, in reason or logic. So they have to be dealt with by a strong force of might. Either by the police or the military. For to even try to reason with a jihad-minded Muslim terrorist is just as much an act of futility as trying to teach algebra to a rabbit.

    This report must be false, England is an example of gun control, most guns banned, hard to get. A shooting in England must be false reporting 🙁 Is it not? 🙂

      Yeah, right. As if Muslims ever had trouble getting their hands on illegal weapons.

    It sounds like three wasn’t a shooting. I wonder if this is another case of Muslims trying to terrorise by playing gun noises through powerful amplifiers

    UK: Gunshots fired at London tube station, police responding “as if the incident is terrorist related”
    ……………………..

    And, let’s face it, “terrorist related” virtually always means “Jihad” in today’s Britan.

    Glad to hear there are no casualties–so far, at least.

    The trend is for terror-related not to be terror-related once it is discovered the perpetrator(s) is (are) Muslim.

    Apparently it was just two men having an overheated verbal punch-up in an Underground station, then everyone panicked. The police are trying to find out who the men were. Not funny at all, because it shows how the muslim presence in London has contaminated the atmosphere here. It’s a bit reminiscent of the tragedy at Bethnal Green Underground station during WW2 when I believe over 30 people died during a panic mass dash down the stairs during a Nazi air raid. Fear of the Nazis = fear of the muslim terrorists. It’s just the same, isn’t it?

      Well, no it isn’t exactly the same. During the war the authorities were on our side and the Nazis were the enemy of all of us.

      However, today is different, our Government and authorities actually are protecting the islamic terrorists against those who are trying to warn of the danger, by labelling them Islamophobes and bringing in draconian laws to prevent anyone saying anything nasty about Muslims.

      I believe that you could say anything you liked about the Nazis without fear of retaliation by the governing hierarchy.
