Here is another piece of the puzzle concerning the Reading attack. The penalty for homosexual acts in Islamic law is death. “While the police declared it as a terror incident, it was not clear if it was a homophobic attack or a hate crime, as many users on social media claimed it was.” It may have been both a terror attack and one targeting homosexuals.
The Reading attack has been a case where media and authorities have bent over backwards to conceal important information. But when added up, the available evidence strong suggests that the government is downplaying yet another jihad attack.
Forbury Gardens, where the “frenzied attack” took place, was also the venue for a Black Lives Matter protest earlier that day.

“Three Gay Friends Killed in U.K. Terror Attack,” by Daniel Reynolds, Advocate, June 24, 2020:
Three gay men have died in a terror attack in the United Kingdom.
Friends James Furlong, 36, Joe Ritchie-Bernett, 39, and David Wails were stabbed to death Saturday evening in Forbury Gardens in Reading, a town in Berkshire County 40 miles outside of London.
The Thames Valley Police, which oversees Reading, arrested Khairi Saadallah for the crime. The 25-year-old, initially charged with murder, was rearrested under the U.K.’s Terrorism Act 2000.
Saadallah, a Libyan refugee, was detained within minutes of a call to the police Saturday. Witnesses reported to the BBC seeing a man with a “massive knife” who “suddenly shouted some unintelligible words and went round a large group trying to stab them.”
Prior to the murders of the three men, a Black Lives Matter protest had taken place in Forbury Gardens, a public park that is also the site of the historic Reading Abbey. Police said there is no connection between the events.
In a statement, Detective Chief Superintendent Kath Barnes also asked the public “not to speculate on any aspect of this case,” including whether it might be a hate crime, “as this could have an impact on the ongoing investigation and any future court appearances.” Barnes added that police are “keeping an open mind as to the motive.”
The LGBTQ+ community is mourning the deaths of the men. Furlong was a history teacher. Ritchie-Bernett, an American, had lived in the U.K. for 15 years and worked at a pharmaceutical company. Wails was a scientist.
Stonewall, a leading LGBTQ+ group in the U.K., posted a remembrance on social media and stressed that “we can’t let Islamophobic, racist and xenophobic rhetoric be used to divide us. We must stand together to make progress.”
Martin Cooper, CEO of Reading Pride, also released a statement honoring his late friends. “James, Joe, and David were true gentlemen. Each with their own unique personality,” he said. “They were regulars of the Blagrave, a [queer-inclusive] community pub, whose regulars will be in mourning.”…

here’s the realty of the religion of peace
that same religion of peace are now setting up
a Sharia Law police force in Minneapolis
to fill the gap that disbanding the police will do
of those who do not know St Paul/Minneapolis have a vast LGBTQ community
what can go wrong here
the lefts blindness is like shooting ones own foot
revereridesagain says
And Minneapolis is where Muslim migrant Mohammed Noor, a “woke” hire of the police force, murdered Australian visitor Justine Damond by firing his weapon across his partner into her as she was standing on the sidewalk — without a male relative as keeper and without hijab — because he was “scared by a noise”. So to my mind at least there has already been one Sharia-sanctioned murder by a Minneapolis police officer and it won’t be the last. BLM, and this should come as no surprise, is seeking his release from prison.
Jon Sobieski says
Gays are like white straight infidels slaughtered by Muslims. They deny who their murderers are.
gravenimage says
All too often true, Jon. This denial runs deep in the West.
Antiislamicman says
Unfortunately Islam will never accept gay people.
However the UK will keep letting Muslims in, knowing full well that in Islam the sentence for being gay is Death
Koran 4:16 punishment unspecified. However death always seems to be the answer in this crazy so called religion. Expect more killings in the name of the false prophet Muhammad, the devil’s son.

Like most things in Shitlam the mental cult are so hypocritical all the Imman like small boys they call it Thursday sex and when was younger all Muslim would screw a teenage Kuffir and as the pigs say womens cunt is for business a young boys tight arse for pleasure and have seen it when had to visit a Muslim shithole the lies and hypocracy from these animals.Do people know in most Muslim countries not for tourist but the inbreds belly dancers are boys !!! yet again more Islamic hypocracy from the non integrating inbreds

Grimly true, Eric.
Muslims *hate* Gay people, but are fine with homosexual pedophilia and same-sex rape intended to humiliate.
What they really hate are consensual relationships between adults.
God, I hate Islam.

Successive muslim immigration to the west has led to accumulation of slow poison in the national blood stream which will eventually destroy the host . What the Heavens could not do the president (not the current one) does it with a stroke of a pen . Anybody born anywhere without any merit can become an honored citizen of the west especially if he or she has a muslim name . We are eagerly heaping fuel on our own funeral pyre! God save the west from evils of Islam and the straw politicians !
James Lincoln says

Consensual relationships between adults requires mutual respect.
This goes against the tenets of islam – but you knew that already…
Rufolino says
Islam is the enemy of love.

Exactly, James. There is very little of this in the Muslim world, and where it does exist it is in opposition to the diktats of Islam itself.
And Rufolino, you are right–there is no love in Islam.

MEMRI – TV Host Hala Samir on Muslim Brotherhood TV: Homosexuals Should Be Killed – Burned Alive
… she elaborated that some of these methods include burning them alive, throwing them off a high place, and stoning them.
FYI says
‘she’ the Goat woman{who knew a goat could speak?}…she mentions the companions of muhammed..and that they said homosexuals should be killed.
Well now…
“It is narrated that the companions of the prophet used to masturbate when they were on military expeditions or travelling”
Bada’i Al Fuwa’id page 129{ibn qayyim}
Oh I’ll bet they did:Did they masturbate one another?
Most likely..but which was the PASSIVE one and which was the ACTIVE one?Was uncle mo involved?Did he too partake?
So many questions…can the islamic ‘scholars’ help to clarify?
{Do you see the HYPOCRISY of the muslims and their’ holy’ men?
I mean, shouldn’t mo’s companions,those chronic masturbators be burned too?
muahammed and his Masturbating Marauders:Or as I call them’s…mo’s Wankers}
No WATERMELON was safe..
“If a man makes a hole in a watermelon….it is easier than masturbating with one’s hand”
{Same source}
BTW there are a number of islamic sources which indicate muhamed was a CROSS DRESSER{Sahih Bukhari 54:7:2442} but note that islamic ‘scholars'{desperately} fiddle the Arabic to hide it.What was once Aisha’s dress worn by mo when he received his ‘revelations’ is now a BLANKET
{Which ,given that mo was the Arab version of a white supremacist only makes it worse}
After what i discovered recently about the sexual use of Watermelons and Cucumbers{From ibn qayyim,bada’i al fuwa’id pg 129} i’ll be wary.
Abdool the grocer:I have some lovely WATERMELONS..although they all seem to have a hole in them..and one cucumber..which for some reason my 3rd wife fatima had and was in the bathroom..weird!
Me the infidel:ehmm..ehmm..thanks Abdool, but..ehm..you know.. I’ll give it a miss.I’d buy your bananas but.. i just don’t know where they’ve been do I?
Abdool the grocer:whaaat?what are you talking about?

June 2016 – TURKEY
Turkish imam suspended after ‘pieces of cucumber found in his rectum’
[…]The 39-year-old imam working in Kayseri applied to the emergency room of a hospital in the early morning hours of June 23 with severe abdominal pain and bleeding.
The doctors reportedly took pieces of cucumber out of his rectum, and the official diagnosis in the incident was “bleeding in the anus and rectum and foreign object in the rectum.”
The imam was discharged on June 24 after treatment.
After the story made it to the local press, an official investigation has been launched by the local branch of the Religious Affairs Directorate, or Diyanet, of which the imam was an employee.
He was suspended immediately.

More proof that Muslimahs can be just as vicious as the “men”.
Rufolino says
To the UK authorities gays are unimportant, and in comparison to the ballooning Moslem vote, totally unimportant.
No one gives them a thought, despite the Moslem threat. Despite superficial tolerance, sexual prejudice continues to run deep.
Bad Penguin says
So now we see that the UK prefers muslim terrorists to gay people.
LB says
It’s not just the UK. According to identity politics of today’s leftist mainstream society all over the West, muslims are ranked above everyone else (including gays) on the victimhood pyramid. From the article:
“Stonewall, a leading LGBTQ+ group in the U.K., posted a remembrance on social media and stressed that “we can’t let Islamophobic, racist and xenophobic rhetoric be used to divide us. We must stand together to make progress.””
Even when their members are brutally killed by muslims, LGBTQWERTY+++ orgs are pushing for more muslims into the West, proving yet again that they don’t actually care about gays and are just another leftist political shills for “diversity” and “progressiveness” in their relentless struggle for globalism.

“…Detective Chief Superintendent Kath Barnes also asked the public “not to speculate on any aspect of this case,” including whether it might be a hate crime….”

Is DCS Kath Barnes taking part in some kind of unofficial inter-police contest to see which force can issue the most stupid statement of the year ?
News-flash Kath – people murder other people because they hate them so much that they want them dead. Maybe that page was missing from your copy of the Ladybird book on “How To Be a Woke Police-woman” ?

“Do not speculate ?”

Don Davenport says
Gays are the most staunchest allies of Islam and Muslims. I remember after the Pulae night club massacre how they defended Islam and even held rallies and vigils with Muslims.
When I pointed out Islamic doctrine towards homosexuality, they branded me a “racist” and “Islamophobe”.
gravenimage says
Bruce Bawer and Milo Yiannopoulos are Gay and are staunch Anti–Jihadists, and I know Gay people who recognize the threat of Islam.
Many Gay people are in denial–just like many Straight people–but not all.
jayell says
This is a bit confusing. People seem to be tying themselves up in ideological knots:-
“….it was not clear if it was a homophobic attack or a hate crime…….It may have been both a terror attack and one targeting homosexuals……*
Surely a homophobic attack IS a hate crime, and so is a ‘terror attack’, which would be motivated by hatred of the people being terrorised? If crimes aren’t motivated by greed or some kind of self-interest they’re usually motivated by hate. It has always been like that. What’s going to be interesting is seeing what the muslim communities come up with this time to ingratiate themselves with liberal-leftie/PC/LGBT/BAME lobbies who are supposed to be their friends but have an understandable aversion to ‘hate crimes’. They’ve already tried the ‘mental health’ and ‘he converted to Christianity’ lines, which have both gone down like lead balloons. They’ve yet to try the ‘he wasn’t a true muslim’ routine, but that’s going to be difficult since it’s now out that he was going to join ISIS. Maybe they’ll just keep quiet – no-one will push them since we all know how upset they get when people accuse them of committing atrocities, and then they tend to do something a little nasty.
Jaydam says
Well said Jayell.
deeperinfo says
It was NOT an attack: it was a religious offering… “CULTURE”!
Western society needs to bemore accepting and supportive of ‘others’…/s
Chistopher Watson says
Like Jayell I find the whole story a little too strange. Are people saying that this Libyan animal specifically targeted 3 gay men; that he actually knew they were there? Or he walked into the park and stabbed 3 men and they just happened to be gay? The first is way beyond the intelligence of a Libyan arab and the second is about the same as my going to Piccadilly Circus, throwing a cricket ball and hitting a left-handed Australian from Sidney.
gravenimage says
The attacker may or may not have known that his victims were Gay, Christopher. But given the murderous hatred of Islam for Gay people, that he knew does seem likely.
And the idea that Muslims are too stupid to be able to identify people as likely Gay is odd–Muslims slaughter Gay people all the time.
In fact, Libya is a terrible place for Gay people, and they are persecuted and murdered there all the time. It doesn’t take much intelligence to throw a victim off a building.
“The situation for gays in Libya was never easy, but since ISIS militias are controlling some areas of the country, things have gotten even worse.”

Jayell says
The attack happened a few hours after a BLM demonstration in the park. One of the BLM organisers, a north african female with an islamic-sounding name, told the press that ‘all the BLM protesters had left the park by that time’.by the time of the attack The press interviewer did not ask her how she had confirmed that fact, or if indeed this BLM organiser actually knew what she was talking about (if this BLM organiser had left the scene herself, how would she know who was there?; and if she was still there herself it’s not unlikely that other BLM protesters were as well). This sort of reporting seems to be in accordance with the official MSM agenda, which appears to support the deliberately (criminally?) negligent police supervision of BLM demonstrations to date and which one logically surmises would therefore seek to protect the BLM movement in the event of any atrocities that occur that might be directly related to BLM.

UK: Three gay men identified as murder victims in Libyan migrant’s stabbing spree in Reading
……………..
I doubt very much that this was a coincidence.
One of the victims was an American, as well.
Prince Eugene says
Saadallah, a Libyan refugee, was detained within minutes of a call to the police Saturday. Witnesses reported to the BBC seeing a man with a “massive knife” who “suddenly shouted some unintelligible words and went round a large group trying to stab them.”
Apparently none of the witnesses understands Arabic. None other than Islamic authority CNN claims Allahu Akbar* is “a celebration of life.” It is unusual for the BBC to NOT NEED their soothing standard boiler plate to convince their gullible readers that “Allahu Akbar” means “God is great!” So shut up Islamophobes; and realize that this phrase is invoked by peaceful Muslims when they pray five times per day.
* Allahu Akbar is the declaration that Allah and Islam are dominant over every other form of government, religion, law or ethic. This is why Jihadists in the the midst of attacking infidels often shout it.

UK – Reading stabbings: Vigil held in memory of victims one week on from terror attack
The mayor of Reading has said the town’s community “shall not be divided” by the recent terror attack at a vigil held in memory of the victims one week on.
Cllr David Stevens said the Berkshire town would always be “inclusive and diverse”at a private memorial event held in Market Place on Saturday evening.
David Wails, 49, Joseph Ritchie-Bennett, 39, and James Furlong, 36, lost their lives after the incident in Forbury Gardens that took place shortly before 7pm on June 20.
Following short speeches by local officials, family members of the three men were the first to lit candles in their memory.
Afterwards, the small group of relatives embraced in a huddle for a few moments, before speaking and laughing together.
Home Secretary Priti Patel joined a host of representatives from the Reading community in also lighting candles.
