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

UK: Man waving machete crashes into pedestrians, runs down street with two machetes, cops say it’s not terrorism

Apr 5, 2018 2:33 pm By Robert Spencer

Those “right-wing extremists”! How long will they plague Britain?

In reality, it is much more likely that this is a jihad attack. 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….

“Live updates – huge police blockade in Buffery Road Dudley amid reports of man running down street with machete,” by Matt Cannon, Annette Belcher, and Ashley Preece, Birmingham Mail, April 5, 2018:

Police have sealed-off a residential street this afternoon in response to an unconfirmed incident.

Some reports have suggested a man was seen running down the street with two machetes.

The incident is believed to be on-going in Buffery Road, Dudley, this afternoon.

West Midlands Police has confirmed to BirminghamLive an operation underway.

A statement is expected shortly.

This is a breaking news story. We will be updating it….

Pictures show cars on Buffery Road after crash

Crash investigators have begun thier [sic] investigations into today’s collision in Buffery Road.

One man was taken to hospital after suffering leg injuries in the incident at 3.24pm this afternoon.

Officers were called after a vehicle crashed into parked car.

Further reports suggested the driver of one of the vehicles was carrying a machete….

“One of them was waving a machete around” – witness

A family member of the man injured in today’s incident has spoken to BirminghamLive.

The man’s daughter-in-law described the moment a vehicle ploughed into park cars.

The witness went on to say more than one man was travelling in the car – with one “waving a machete around.”

The witness, who did not want to be named, said:

“It was my father-in-law and my partner who got hit by the car.

“My father-in-law is in a very bad way in hospital.

“He was crushed by the car which came hurtling down the street.

 

“The car hit my dog first, then my partner.

“It almost hit my sister too.

“I heard a bang and we all came out of the house.

“That’s when I saw the men in the car and one of them was waving a machete around.”

 

“It’s just a waiting game now. My father-in-law has been sedated and has been badly hurt.”…

The incident remains on-going this evening.

The incident is not being treated as terrorism at this stage, West Midlands Police has confirmed….

    At this point I doubt the British police would admit to an incidence of Islamic jihad if the attackers planted ISIS flags on the beheaded corpses of the deceased and shouted nothing but “allahu akbar!!!” throughout the proceedings. Judging from previous accounts, they have become so corrupted by the requirement that their role as thought police takes precedence over anything else and they are hardly capable any more of carrying out their reason for being which is protecting innocent citizens from attacks by savages, regardless of the protected identity group to which the latter belong.

    On the other hand, maybe these are El Salvadoran MS-13 gangbangers who got lost at the Texas border and somehow found themselves on a flight to dear old England. They have these guys over there, don’t they?

    Well, any attempt connect Islam or Muslims to terrorism is obviously wrongheaded.

    We all know that terrorism has nothing to do with Islam.

    Here, remember how well HRC put it during the 2016 presidential campaign?

    “Let’s be clear: Islam is not our adversary. Muslims are peaceful and tolerant people and have nothing whatsoever to do with terrorism.”

    Only an Islamophobe would argue against that.

    The police have a very strange definition of terrorism. A terrorist attack is one that causes terror. Isn’t that simple ?

    Getting mown down by a car for no reason and then being faced with a lunatic waving two machetes is the very definition of terrorism. All the police have done is to confirm to everyone that a Muslim must be involved, as it’s only when a Muslim is involved that their psychic abilities are used to deny it is what is clear to every other sane person on the planet.

    In London the Metropolitan Police have given up on trying to combat the mounting death toll and can barely keep note of the numbers involved. Having claimed to be waging war on online hate crime those involved in the most recent murders are openly taunting the police, the victims and their families as police officers are paying visits to mosques to share tea and reminisce with the local Imams.

    I wonder at what stage the police admit that they are becoming an irrelevant body to administer law and order in the UK ?

      If a Muslim is even just walking down a street carrying a machete I would have to call him a terrorist…deranged, maybe, but still a terrorist…Now I can partially see why law enforcement won’t call this person a terrorist….. FEAR and LAWS….yes our present laws hold law enforcement back. What can be done???Simple, change the laws but changing laws are not that simple however, if our government won’t try then of course no law will be changed…There could be laws changed to help control the Islamic situation, especially religious laws, but I don’t see any politician doing anything. Once again FEAR holds them in place.GET REGSTERED and VOTE……don’t re elect….elect… if politicians won’t work to protect us kick them out and get someone in there that will. Don’t be afraid to elect new people!!..
      It will take some new laws to address the Islamic problem.

    Uh, excuse me, but if running down the street with a machete is ‘not’ terrorism, then what IS?
    It is terrorism of some form!

    • Lydia Church says

      Apr 5, 2018 at 5:20 pm

      (with intent to harm and/or kill)

    The UK police deny that this is terrorism because they are too cowardly to confront Islamic terrorism. Such cowards

    monty python could make a great comedy out of this

    • gravenimage says

      Apr 5, 2018 at 7:44 pm

      Probably too ugly for their comedy. And Monty Python alums like Michael Palin knows this would be dangerous:

      “You can’t parody Islam, says Palin: Monty Python star believes religious sensitivities have increased so much it would be impossible to make Life of Brian today”

      Michael Palin said there is one comedy taboo he is too scared to break- Islam
      ‘We all saw what happened to Salman Rushdie – none of us want all that’

      http://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-2530920/You-parody-Islam-says-Palin-Monty-Python-star-believes-religious-sensitivities-increased-impossible-make-Life-Brian-today.html

      But I *wish* we had more comics making fun of Jihadists.

        Yes, long overdue and richly deserved. Can you imagine a Broadway play ala the Book of Mormon? The Quran would be satirical gore, rated X.

        • gravenimage says

          Apr 7, 2018 at 11:32 pm

          Unfortunately, Matt Stone and Trey Parker have acknowledged they are too scared to tackle Islam.

    The UK government is looking more and more like that of Orwell’s Oceania. “We have never been at war with East Asia” has given way to “Muslims are only victims, never perpetrators.”

    Used to be machetes were always associated with jungle experiences. I can hardly believe they’re weilded in civilized cities.

      The use what ever they get their hands on axes, bats, knives ,rented trucks ,pressure cooker bombs ,all the while British police are busy looking at the hurtful remarks a grand mother made on line quoting the Koran .The Moslem a species that must be protected against “hate speech” the average British non Moslem must not resist Moslem violence or make “hurtful remarks” about it on line.

    • gravenimage says

      Apr 7, 2018 at 11:36 pm

      Yes–how often does one need to use a machete *in Britain*–unless they are attacking Infidels, of course?

  10. Baucent says

    Apr 6, 2018 at 4:39 am

    When will they release the name of the “machete man”? No time soon I suspect.

  11. WPM says

    Apr 6, 2018 at 9:12 am

    I think the MSM is trying to get the standard boiler plate labels ready first
    1-Mental ill
    2-lone wolf
    3-Not really a religious Moslem
    4-South East Asian man
    5-Family had no knowledge this blessed peaceful man could act so violently must have been the right wing views on line that drew his angry. Police reported to increase interviews of angry British citizens saying they are unhappy with Islamic behavior to head off future Islamic attacks..
    6-MSM worry about violent back lash against Islam over incident.
    7-Interfaith meeting plan to head off imaginary backlash. The family of” machete man” upset that families of people hurt are angry and they say many mean things about there {fill in the blank} son ,brother, grandson boy friend husband, father {machete man} who mow love their ones down in the street and attack them with a machete.
    8-He carry a machete according to family members in his car in case a jungle blocked the road in the rural parts are England.

  12. WPM says

    Apr 6, 2018 at 9:49 am

    sorry “of England”
    9-Machete man family is upset that police have questioned them on his actions leading up to what they referred to his “car accident”.They are also upset that his cherished “gardening tools” from the old country was confiscated and held as evidence against him being violent. The knives were his great great grand fathers knives he used to strike at the unbelievers necks of unbelievers and clean up the family garden.
    10-The mayor of London has said family heirlooms being confiscated by British authorities is in itself racist and should not be tolerated.
    11-The mayor of London also said family heirlooms are part of being British and should be tolerated.

    This reminds me of Judas betraying Christ for 30 pieces of silver. The oil rich mohameddans have been bribing the EU, UK etc with huge amounts of money to bring in islam and now we are seeing the results. How Europeans can surrender their glorious heritage for such a filth like islam is beyond my comprehension. Maybe those whom the gods wish to destroy they first make mad?

      Nice point … I like the Judas reference ….
