And probably British authorities never will be able to answer, if the answer puts the May government in an unfavorable light.
“Westminster terror attack: Driver arrested after car mows down cyclists and ploughs into Parliament barrier,” by Danny Boyle, Helena Horton, Harry Yorke, and Patrick Sawer, Telegraph, August 14, 2018:
A terror suspect arrested after a car crashed into a barrier at the Houses of Parliament at high speed is not believed to be known to the security services, police have said.
At least three people were injured when the silver Ford Fiesta hit a group of cyclists and pedestrians waiting for traffic lights to change. Rooftop camera footage shows the car mounting a pavement on the wrong side of the road before, witnesses said, it travelled at up to 50mph for around 40 metres (130ft) and hit a bollard.
Scotland Yard said a man in his late 20s was arrested after the incident at around 7.30am on Tuesday. The suspect was taken to a south London police station, where he remains on suspicion of terrorism offences. He is not co-operating with officers.
The Met’s counter-terrorism command is leading the investigation. Officers are seeking to formally identify the suspect, but “don’t believe this person is known to either MI5 or counter-terrorism police”.
The suspect is reported to be from the Midlands and it is believed that he might have travelled to London from Birmingham.
Westminster was in lockdown as armed police swarmed the scene. One witness said: “It looked intentional – the car drove at speed and towards the barriers.”
Images showed a man being led away in handcuffs after armed police surrounded the eight-year-old car.
No one else was in the car and police said no weapons had been recovered from the scene.
Speaking outside New Scotland Yard, Neil Basu, the Met’s Assistant Commissioner for counter-terrorism, said police and the intelligence services were working to establish if the suspect was part of a wider terror cell and if he had received assistance from others in planning the attack.
Mr Basu said: “It appears to have been a deliberate act, but what the motive was we can’t answer at the moment. We haven’t formally identified the suspect, but we don’t believe he’s known to MI5.”…

Hey, let’s play “Guess the Motive”! I’ll start with the letter ‘A’, alcoholism.
Next letter, ‘B’, any guesses?
…then ‘C’, ‘D’, ‘E’, etc., but skipping ‘I’, because “islamopfauxbia”.
mortimer says
No need to guess the motive: Koran 8.60 “TURHIBUNNA” (terrorise them)… the eternal commandment of Allah.
Moreover, ISLAM HAS A DOCTRINE OF HATE: ‘AL BARAA’ = Islamic Apartheid, Shunning
‘Baraa’ is HATRED towards Kafirs ‘for the sake of Allah’…Al Bughoud or Al Mu’adaat (hatred) is the opposite of Al Muwalaat (love towards Muslims). Baraa is:
– To Hate
– To keep distance from
– To be enemy to
– To desert
– To decline to help
– To disrespect
– To put down
– Not to ally with
– Not to support
Allah ordered Muslims to have Baraa (to be cleansed) from the dirty kufaar and from kufr and shirk.
-Imam Abdul-Latif ibn Abdur-Rahman Rahimullah said, “It is not possible for someone to realize Tawheed (Islamic faith) and act upon it, and yet not be HOSTILE against the mushrikeen (i.e. wrong worshippers). So anyone who isn’t HOSTILE against the mushrikeen, then it cannot be said that he acts upon Tawheed nor that he realizes it.” [ad-Durar as-Saniyyah 8/167]
-“The doctrine of al Walaa wal Baraa is the REAL IMAGE for the actual practice of this faith.” – source “Al Walaa wal Baraa According to the Aqeedah of the Salaf”, by Sheikh Muhammad Saeed al Qatani, authoritative Saudi Sharia lawyer and imam at the Abu Bakr and Al Furqan Mosques in Mecca. – https://islamfuture.wordpress.com/2009/08/20/al-wala-wal-bara-according-to-the-aqeedah-of-the-salaf-parts-123/
-Shaykh Ahmad ibn ‘Atiq said:
“There isn’t in the Book of Allah the Exalted – after the issue concerning the obligation of tawheed and the forbiddance of its opposite (kufr=wrong belief)- any issue which has as so many proofs, nor so clearly explained, than the issue of al-walaa’ and al-baraa’.” (W-B is ‘Islamic apartheid’)
– from Sufi scholar Ahmad Sirhindi (1564-1624): “The honour of Islam lies in INSULTING kufr and kafirs. One who respects the kafirs dishonours the Muslims… The real purpose of levying jiziya on them is to HUMILIATE them to such an extent that they may not be able to dress well and to live in grandeur. They should constantly remain TERRIFIED and TREMBLING. It is intended to hold them under CONTEMPT and to uphold the honour and might of Islam.”
– from ibn Taymiyya, “Book of Emaan”: “… true believers show ANIMOSITY and HATRED towards disbelievers and NEVER support them.”
– from Umar Sulayman ‘Abd-Allaah al-Ashqar, “Belief in Allah”: “The Muslim should regard the Kuffaar as ENEMIES and HATE them because of their kufr (wrong belief), just as he hates their kufr (disbelief) itself.”
– from [Chap.iv] “The Islaamic Concept of al-Walaa’ wal-Baraa’” by Khalid El-Gharib: “… to SHOW ENMITY to those who show enmity to Allaah and His Messenger”.
(Note: Muslims are to visibly demonstrate their ENMITY or HATRED towards the kufaar)
– from a lecture given by Sheikh Abdullah al-Faisal (H.A.): “The implication of al-Baraa is that one HATES for the sake of Allah (SWT)…Al-Baraa means to recognize who your enemies are and to HATE them and EXTERMINATE them in their Endeavour to get rid of your Deen, al-Islam…Al-Baraa is to HATE the people who propagate Baatil (falsehood)—the Muslim should HATE them and (at least desire to) KILL them when the time comes.”
(Note: not ‘if the time comes’, but ‘WHEN the time comes.)
– “Killing a Kafir who is fighting you is OK. Killing a Kafir for any reason (i.e. criticism of Islam), you can say, it is OK – even if there is NO REASON for it. You can poison, ambush and kill non-believers. You must have a stand with your heart, with your tongue, with your money, with your hand, with your sword, with your Kalashnikov. Don’t ask shall I do this, just do it.”Abu Hamza al-Masri (Egyptian born British Cleric)
– “As a Muslim, I must have hatred for anything non-Islam” – Anjem Choudary.
– “The matter is clear on this issue. It is obligatory to disassociate and absolve oneself from the disbelievers and their religion. The issue of al-Walaa wal-Baraa is from among the greatest obligations in Islaam.” (Shaykh Salih Al-Fawzan, 2005, p. 308)
– Obligation to Hate Kufaar: “With regard to matters of love and hate in the heart, the Muslims’ attitude towards non-Muslims is based on the latter’s attitude towards Allaah. If they worship Allaah and do not associate anything in worship with Him, then they love them. If they associate others in worship with Him, or disbelieve in Him, or worship others alongside Him, or are hostile towards His religion and hate the truth, then it is obligatory to hate them in our hearts.” – Sheikh Muhammed Salih Al-Munajjid

What do they mean by motive? A Muslim drives a car all the way from Birmingham and tries to kill as many non Muslims as possible. That IS the motive to kill and injure the infidel what other motive is possible?
He could have killed people in Birmingham but doing it at the seat of government in London makes it more newsworthy for the media and makes it a political statement.
BTW it does not matter if a Muslim or two gets hurt as they will be martyrs in the cause of ‘alla’.

Big broad hints for Scotland Yard: check Koran 9:5; 33:28; 98:6; 3:150. Not nearly an exhaustive list but maybe you can discern some kind of common thread in these passages. Oh and why don’t you hold those who filled this killer with this poison responsible? Or do we only do that for the Caucasian antisemites who call themselves Nazis or klansmen?
Cicero says
My thoughts exactly. He may have physically acted alone. But who were his mentors ? Who were his associates ? What life philosophy does he espouse ? What were his daily routines ? What discussions would regularly take place in his domestic environment ?
He is not talking so at the moment we cannot place him. The police will hav linguistic experts to analyse his speech patterns to identify his place of origin. In my experience of the U.K. Borders Agency they have very good linguistic experts.
A more personal dimension_ he is no talking but is he circumcised? He might be a Jew of colour. ? Let us not jump to conclusions.
JGO says
Male Jews are circumcised also.
Walter Sieruk says
The jihadist or jihadists attacks in Western nations as for example is that recent jihad terror vehicular attack in the city of London ,England, which is of course cruel brutal heinously despicable . Such Muslim terrorists also engage in vicious and murderous Islamic terror attacks in other cities of the West .As Stockholm, Brussels , Paris, Nice, Berlin ,Madrid. 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.
Jaladhi says
How about – the motive was to kill infidels!! Can’t they understand this simple motive or it is too complicated for the retard PC multi-culti crowd!
Michael Copeland says
“How about – the motive was to kill infidels”?
You mean, like “Kill them wherever you find them” (Koran 2:191, part of Islamic law)?
Astonishing, Holmes!

Ric says
There is dumb; then there are the Brit authorities and government. P.M. May, her tag-along sycophants are over their heads and out of their minds. Not sure of the motive; one must be inept and imbecilic to achieve the higher echelon of Britain. A sack of Bricks is savvier than the munchkins running the circus.
b.a. freeman says
i would tend to agree, Ric, but these guys are politicians; they didn’t get to where they are by not understanding people and their motives. i don’t buy these people being stupid. instead, i think that it’s malevolence on their part.
if one examines the politics of british “leaders,” one finds that they are leftist, almost to a man. except for a brief respite of rationality of the 11 years of ms. thatcher’s administration, the UK has gone about as socialist as it can with the voting public still retaining control. if they can’t get their socialist utopia in using the ballot box, they’ll use the gun instead. the left learned well in the last century that it is only rarely the beneficiary of electoral success, so they threw that over early on for seizing absolute power instead. and i’m fairly certain that the thought leaders of the hard left are working hard right now to achieve exactly that in UKistan. by allowing millions of muslims into the country, they also get thousands of jihadis; most muslims are what muhammed called “hypocrites,” who are unwilling to die in jihad or spend their money to support others in their jihad, but statistically, the left is guaranteed to get jihadis in the mix. if they always provide political cover for the jihadis, the latter can bring on a reign of terror across the nation, eventually causing the public to demand martial law to “fix” the situation. of course, that “martial law” will never end, because it will be the beginning of a people’s republic, which will neither belong to the people nor be a republic.
the advantage to the left is that society is destroyed, but not at their hands. the muslim problem can be solved (with mass murder, the usual tool of the hard left) once the left has absolute power. nobody will be any the wiser in the meantime, with the possible exception of the pious muslims and those pesky critical thinkers like mr. spencer. the disadvantage, however, is that pious muslims are *religious* about their murder, and because the only guaranteed way into jannah (paradise) for a muslim is to die while in jihad, there will be no shortage of pious muslims who *want* to die, while the hard-core leftists will almost without exception want to keep on living. the majority of muslims have been simmered in a stew of hatred for their entire lives, inured to murder by its divine sanction by the cult, while most hard-core leftists (not counting those rare cases like mr. obama, whose mother was a hard-core leftist) come to the faith only in adulthood, and are not, for the most part, well-versed in either mass murder or the justification of same.
it may well be that most leftists in government, not having been taught critical thinking any more than the rest of us have been in school, are ignorant of the coming civil wars, and aren’t in on the plan. most dictatorships, and plans to instantiate dictatorships, are stingy with information for the troops. those who are thought leaders, OTOH, and who may well end up being the commissars of a united people’s republic, know very well what is happening. they aren’t stupid, but we are, because we have naively assumed good intentions on their part. perhaps 100 million deaths aren’t enough to get our attention, and it will take a few nuclear bursts over cities to hammer it home. of course, since muslims will likely win the civil war with leftists, it’s probably a moot point.
Abraham Fox says

Real Brexit is not going to happen.May was elected to stall and obfuscate untill the British people lose all interest in it.The result will be Brexit in name only.The establishment might think they have fooled us but it inevitably will mean the destruction of our two party system.The tory party will be dessimated at the next general election.Labour also cannot win as its leader has no credibility.UKIP and other small parties will emerge to fill the vacuum which long term can inly be a good thing.’Time’has been called on the two trougher parties.A step toward the cleaning of the swamp, long overdue.
somehistory says
The “motive” of terrorism is found in the definition of terrorism. The “motive” is to cause the government and the people to do as the terrorists wish them to do.
Terrorism is used against the public to strike fear into the public and cause them to call on the government to make changes in line with what the terrorists want.
the goal for molsims is to create such a climate of fear that everyone bows down to their wild beast of islam.
Terry Gain says

A wider terror cell? Yes, indeed. The cell is reputed to have over one billion members.
Jedothek says
I appreciate the specific citations of Islamic literature, but even on a simpler level it is ridiculous to say: It’s terrorism but we don’t know the motive. A dictionary might tell you. Terrorism is “the use of violence and threats to intimidate or coerce, especially for political purposes.”

UK: Vehicular attack at Parliament is terrorism, but “what the motive was we can’t answer at the moment”
………………….
Willful blindness.
Jean says
It is not possible to define an act as terrorism without identifying a motive; the definition of terrorism is to commit violence with an ideological purpose, to bring about a political change. This lacking, the violence is not terrorism. An example of not-terrorist mass violence is the school shootings commited by individuals who merely loathe their own existence and take it out on others. They are not interested in changing the world.
A_M_Swallow says
So the motive could be this is one of a series of attacks premeditated to:
* divert more money to the Islamic community,
* ethically clear land and buildings so it can be taken over by Muslims,
* increase the political power of Muslims – including the Imams who planned and organised the attacks,
* intimidate journalists into refusing to report evil committed by Muslims,
* pervert the course of justice by scaring police, judges and prosecutors into failing to arrest, try and punish Muslims committing crimes.
* some or all or the above.
Mak says
So they describe his age (20’s), he’s not cooperating, etc. Why don’t they release his name? I’m sure there are some privacy laws but at some point I think we need to find out if it’s mohammed, Farook, or Abdul. I somehow thing it’s going to be something islamic. Can’t they not divulge the name but say something like “A man with an islamic sounding name.”
A_M_Swallow says
The motive is an act of war designed to frighten the British people and politicians into allowing Muslims, particularly Imams, to take over the country.
Lydia Church says

He may be a muslim from Sudan but we mustn’t say that because{sarc}…its “islamophobic” and “racist” isn’t it?”hate -speech” as the Leftards call it.
islam is the religion of peace after all.So this atrocity could not possibly have anything to do with allah’s command in koran 2;191 to “slay the unbelievers wherever ye find them”
maybe his grandma just didn’t love him enough,yeah that must be it.
