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

UK: Westminster vehicular jihadi drove his car toward police after mowing down pedestrians

Aug 20, 2018 8:46 am By Robert Spencer

But…but…his friends assured us that he was quiet and kind, and that it was just an accident.

And so once again we see the establishment media narrative, proffered in that case by the Daily Mail, being exploded by the facts. That’s why the establishment media works so hard in cases such as this one to obscure the facts. Note that this BBC story carries a headline referring to the “Westminster car crash,” with no hint that prosecutors are treating it as terrorism until the third paragraph. This was a “car crash” the way 9/11 was a “plane crash.”

“Westminster car crash: Suspect appears in court,” BBC, August 20, 2018:

A man accused of attempted murder after a car crashed outside the Houses of Parliament has appeared in court.

Salih Khater, 29, is alleged to have swerved his car into cyclists and pedestrians before driving towards police and crashing into a barrier.

Three people were injured in the incident on 14 August, which is being treated by prosecutors as terrorism….

    UK media are a disgrace. At least the prosecutors have got it right.

    “Car crash “, “incident “, what a disgrace!

    These blacks from Northern Sudan were used to kill blacks in Southern Sudan in the name of islamic jihad.

    Arab cult (EVIL islam) is a poison to humanity

      The cult of Islam was used to get them to fight the British in Victorian times – remember the Mahdi and Kitchener of Khartoum? The whirling dervishes and the rest of the religiously charged up madmen.

        I think that was Gordon of Khartoum. ☺

    Theresa May’s government is fighting a losing propaganda battle. The British need to amend their penal law to add Hijacking Islam to the list of offences.

    Western Authorities place their own Citizens’ lives at risk, when they refuse to say the Word, TERROR.
    It is difficult, even in America, to get
    the Blind, Deaf & Dumb authorities to admit that an Act of Terror has been committed by a Member of a Government Protected Group.
    In Oklahoma, a woman was decapitated & another woman was injured, when a Muslim Co-Worker attempted to Decapitate Both.
    All was handled quietly, the MSM/Fake News Media/Enemy of the People barely mentioned the Terrorism, Nationallly.
    It is almost like a huge Conspiracy against the Natural Citizens, to refuse to call Acts Terror & to call the Perpetrators Terrorists, when committed by Muslims or Illegals.

      Berengaria,

      They are also afraid of the dreaded “R” word, RACIST.

        Dominik Tarczynski is the absolutely brilliant Polish MP for the Law and Justice Party, which is currently the country’s ruling party! I have watched all of his “English-speaking” YouTube videos from the past couple of years. He is absolutely “spot-on” in his analysis of the Muslim migrant crisis. Because of him, I cannot bring myself to tell another Polish joke.

        Note in this video with the BBC how he deals with being called racist:

    The British Bullsh*t Corporation is, like the Canadian Bullsh*t Corporation nothing but a propaganda arm of the government spewing biased lies and left wing political correctness.

    Both need to be sold off to private enterprise or better yet, shut down, which would save taxpayers in the UK and Canada hundreds of millions in funding each year.

    The low info listener and viewer of these government controlled media outlets is brainwashed into thinking all is right with their world, when in fact they are being led to their own demise as a nation.

    • R Russell says

      Tom, The above mentioned corporation has stated in Scottish newspapers that Scottish people believe what it has to say. That is how deluded it is.

    • Anne Smith says

      UKIP has stated that one of its manifesto ledges is to remove the BBC licence fee and that it can pay its own way. At present everyone with a TV is taxed by the Government to pay for this rotten propaganda spewing broadcaster. All the other stations have to pay their own way, and now that the BBC has been shown to be so corrupt and biased it is long overdue for it to sink or swim on its own, without a special Government tax to fund it.

      Worth voting for UKIP on this alone.

    “The Independent” says : Three people treated for non-life threatening injuries after the crash

    Note the insertion of ‘non-life threatening’ to make ‘Three people treated for injuries after the crash’ seem like the injuries are hardly worth mentioning.

    “The Independent” is a leftist rag that bends over backwards to defend Islam.

      The need for translation is like that for Pravda in the Soviet Union.

    You will notice the man has not been charged with terrorism even although the UK has contacted Israel for help in dealing with vehicular jihad since it happens so often in Jerusalem, the UK hoped to get some tips to deal with it.
    The man also carried out this attack 6 days after being given UK citizenship. I hope, probably in vain that he will lose his UK citizenship equally as quickly.

      The mayor of London claims the solution is to ban cars in certain areas. We’ve been joking here about banning cars now it’s a reality.

        Grotesque.

    At least Tommy Robinson hasn’t been blamed for provoking this attack…yet

      True–but we did get this:

      “UK: Leftist media blames ‘mean tweets, online comments’ for London jihad attack”

    the fact that he was “quiet and kind” is even scarier
    so it could be the quiet and kind muslim that you get on with so well next

      Every Muslim is a potential jihadi. Especially those who attend mosque, who are regularly exposed to jihad-promoting Imams (which is most Imams).

    Did anybody notice one of teh early arrest photos (since conveniently buried) which showed Khater to be sporting a Salafi-style beard? All the “family photos” show him clean-shaven, and even the court sketch artist portrays him beardless, but when officers pulled him out of his Fiesta that wasn’t the case, according to this photo:

    Sorry, I thought I had pasted the photo in with my comment. Here’s a link to the photo in question:
