Given their track record, UK police are likely to put this investigation on the back burner quickly, and go back to trying to find “white supremacists.”
“Stabbing of British MP David Amess a terrorist incident: UK Police,” AFP, October 16, 2021:
The fatal stabbing of British lawmaker David Amess was a terrorist incident, police said Saturday, as MPs pressed for tougher security in the wake of the second killing of a UK politician while meeting constituents in just over five years.
Veteran Conservative MP David Amess, 69, was talking with voters at a church in the small town of Leigh-on-Sea east of London when he was stabbed to death on Friday.
Police said they arrested a 25-year-old suspect and were investigating “a potential motivation linked to Islamist extremism”.
Police have said the investigation is in the “very early stages”, though multiple UK media outlets, citing sources, reported that the suspect was believed to be a British national with Somali heritage.
“Counter Terrorism Command leading investigation into Sir David Amess murder,” Metropolitan Police, October 16, 2021:
The fatal stabbing in Leigh-on-Sea has tonight been declared as a terrorist incident, with the investigation being led by Counter Terrorism Policing.
The investigation is being led by the Met’s Counter Terrorism Command who are working closely with colleagues from the Eastern Region Specialist Operations Unit (ERSOU) and Essex Police.
Senior National Coordinator for Counter Terrorism Policing, Deputy Assistant Commissioner Dean Haydon formally declared the incident as terrorism. The early investigation has revealed a potential motivation linked to Islamist extremism.
Essex Police responded to an incident at an address in Eastwood Road North, Essex, shortly after 12:05hrs on Friday, 15 October.
At the scene, officers found a man with multiple stab wounds. He was given emergency medical treatment by emergency services, but sadly died at the scene.
Although formal identification has yet to take place, the man was identified as Sir David Amess, Member of Parliament for Southend West. Specialist officers are supporting his family.
A 25-year-old British man was arrested at the scene on suspicion of murder. He is currently in custody at a police station in Essex.
As part of the investigation, officers are currently carrying out searches at two addresses in the London area and these are ongoing.
It is believed that he acted alone, and we are not seeking anyone else in connection with the incident at this time. However, enquiries into the circumstances continue….
mr clive delmonte says
Let’s all blame Cressida Dick for this murder. After all, she’ll maybe retire soon anyway so that makes her a perfect “fall guy” wouldn’t it?
Dhimmi says
the reason for such attacks was not only to eliminate an MP, because the conservatives of Johnson are not a threat to Islamic hegemony over England, on contrary the incompetence of Boris Johnson and of his supporters makes easier the takeover and takedown of England but I think it is a strategy of radicalizing the entire muslim world through acts of sacrifice and terror
Beneath the Veil of Consciousness says
In the U.S. we have our own Somali terrorist posing as a congresswoman.
Her name is Ihan Omar, an illegal alien who peddles a soft form of terrorism with overt antisemitic pronouncements that go largely unchallenged by the bought and paid for whores who infest the hallowed halls of our republic.
ChrisFromCincinnati says
Beneath – you are spot on. Ilhan is the enemy within.
john smith says

That’s exactly what she is a terrorist. She is a hardcore jihadi, and if she hadn’t of made it in the States she would be with isis lopping of heads
maria says
YEs, she is the worst and most stupid in the squad. She is a perverted creature married to her own brother, racist, hates the real American and she should be sent to Somalia immediately
Noa Chevro says
a politic jihadist

“The early investigation has revealed a potential motivation linked to Islamist extremism.”
Correction:
The early investigation has revealed a potential motivation linked to Islam.
libertyORdeath says
If this doesn’t wake up the dhimmis in the UK then I would guess that nothing will. These terrorists who were illegaly invited into the UK have now murdered two members of parliament. How many must die before we learn to take islamist terrorism seriously? How many young girls and boys must be raped? How many muslim girls must have their genitals mutilated? How many honor killings?
WAKE THE FUCK UP UK! ITS TIME TO RECLAIM YOUR COUNTRY AND YOUR BIRTHRIGHT FROM THESE GLOBALIST ELITES WHO HAVE RUINED A ONCE GREAT NATION.
BOB FINCHER says
libertyORdeath, I agree with you and so do many thousands of others. The time of hand wringing has gone and the time to form a party with muscle behind it needs to take place. Every city and town in this country is affected by this vermin and the powers that be don’t care for the nationalists or patriots. getting together as a force is the hardest step forward. The enemy is everywhere.
tim gallagher says
So far, in Australia, the TV news last night said that the murder was terrorism. No mention that it was Muslim terrorism as usual. Then on the radio this morning I heard it described as “Islamic extremism”. Again, the usual bullshit that it isn’t anything to do with islam. No, islam is all peaceful and all that crap, and it is, as usual, only the tiny little group of fanatics that are called “Islamic extremists” that carry out this garbage. Our societies will never deal with the problems islam brings because of this constant refusal to face up to the truth about islam.
john smith says
It also annoys me Tim, they always play down these things. Why the hell don’t they call them what they really are, they are muslims just practicing their religion. They are not extremists, they are not terrorists, they are just devout muslims, and the sooner they start telling the public this, the sooner they will wake up.
tim gallagher says
No doubt about it, john. There is this refusal to face up to the fact that it is all of Islam that is the problem and not just a few nutty fanatics. Our societies definitely can’t deal with the problem and the danger that islam presents for all of us when there is this constant lying by the media and politicians about the problem. I hope things will change in the near future, but I doubt whether it is going to happen. I would always call these terrorist attacks Muslim terrorist attacks, which they are, and not lie and say that they were carried out by Islamic extremists.
john smith says
Tim.
When you start using words such as terrorist or extremist it misleads people. Both words should be dropped altogether and call the murderer for what he really is, a muslim carrying out jihad. Of course muslim terrorist is far better than just terrorist, but it’s still misleading.
James Lincoln says
Correct, tim.
They are devout muslims, not islamic extremists.
tim gallagher says
Fair enough, john. It is bloody annoying all this continual refusal to face up to the truth about Islam’s nature. It is a bit hard to continue to tell this lie that it is only a fringe group of Muslim extremists who carry out murderous terrorist attacks when there have been over 40,000 of these attacks by Muslims, all over the world since the 9/11 attacks. Thanks for the comment, James. I do wonder if we will ever get honesty from the media and the politicians.
Maureen Chaloner says
Why not vote for Britain First then?.Paul Golding woukd throw Muslims out of our country through repatriation .He would also close all Mosques/and ban Islam from being practised.
David Foot says
Well said!
We need a solution to get anti-English Moslem cult out and not entice even more to come in as Boris is doing, putting them in Ramadas after Patel ferries them here with her Border Farce taxi service or the kind RNLI also paid for by UK public lends a hand when the Farce can’t cope with the large number of Moslems.
Same as One Nation Tory John Major, the fool “rescued” Abeidi and gave him money and the Moslem went on to kill 23 British people and building his bomb in part with his benefits!
Boris descends from Turks and is beating all records Islamifying England, and what Tony Blair brought in let us not go there!
BRITAIN FIRST IS WHAT WE NEED NOW!
Tomservcrow says
Britain First are now a recognised political party they have just won a battle with the electoral commission listed BLM as a political party in four weeks but Britain First took nearly twenty they put whatever obstacles they could to stall them.
Tomservcrow says
I forgot to put ‘who’ after electoral commission.
Walter Sieruk says
There are still a number of people around who are in a state of mental denial who yet ,in spite of all the facts of reality, who still say that “Islam is “a peaceful non-violent religion.” They need to take off the religious/Islamic blinders off and and wake up to the truth about the violent , bloody and deadly of Islam.

UK cops investigating murder of MP as ‘terrorist incident,’ perp is ‘British national with Somali heritage’
……………
At least a modicum of sanity from Britain.
Terry Gain says
Islam will not be defeated with phlegmatic assertions. The defense against Islam must begin with the acknowledgment that this evil ideology is not a religion.
gravenimage says
Terry, I believe it is important for others, authorities especially, to acknowledge that Jihadists are indeed a threat. You may, of course, disagree if you like.
I have of course pointed out many times that Islam is a religion by all definition–an evil religion, but certainly a religion.
But you continue to demand that we change the meaning of our words for Islam.
I have asked you before how you plan to achieve this, and you have never said. Do you hope to just repeat it often enough and hope to win people over (or at least confuse them)?
Or do you plan on somehow trying to enforce this? Would the makers of dictionaries have to define “Religion”, then note that this somehow does not apply to Islam because Terry Gain does not like it? Or would they have to change the very definition of the word–even though dictionaries report on usage; they are not in business of creating language.
And what if they balked? Would there be official punishment for not changing things for Islam? Details, please.
You have also (mistakenly) cited the First Amendment for allowing Muslims to impose Shari’ah and rape and murder victims. Would you destroy this bulwark of the Bill of Rights? Destroying freedom of speech would not actually aid us in the fight against Islam.
In fact, I believe that our telling the truth about Islam is our strongest card. Of course, you can choose to disagree if you so desire.
Giacomo Latta says
There are laws in democracies around the world that describe protection for followers of any religion. Your definition of a religion may please archeologists but what are judges thinking? They are the ones who are going to have the final say on what is a religion. Promotion of your definition only aids in worsening exasperating task of ridding democracy of the cult of baboonization of human beings.
Be sure to take a bow and feel good about yourself when a judge declares that muslims have the right to talk about murdering others and executing them because it is a central part of their religion. Your previous comment was that we should acknowledge Islam as a religion when it is not truly a religion. Try to be coherent.
gravenimage says
Giacomo, it is not my definition of religion–it is *the* definition of religion. Changing the definition of our words–attempting to change reality–for Muslims does not help.
I note that you do not say how Islam is *not* a religiion by definition. A religion need not be true or benignant. The religion of those worshiping Baal and the religion of the Aztecs were horrific–they both involved human sacrifice.
People have successfully fought against Islam before without having to pretend that it is not a religion. Your idea that acknowledging that Islam is a religion means the legalization of savagery that violates our laws is mistaken.
I am being perfectly coherent here. As I said, I think that truth is our greatest asset in exposing the threat of Islam.
Giacomo Latta says
I do not say how Islam is not a religion by definition? I don’t chew my cabbage twice. Your speed reading course was obviously a complete failure. Thanks for not commenting on the fact that your definition of a religion means sweet nothing in a court of law.
gravenimage says
Giacomo, I have carefully reread your posts several times now, and indeed you do not indicate how Islam is not a religion.
Will you clarify, or do you believe that it is not necessary to elucidate your position?
Giacomo Latta says
Reread my post which started with ”can we talk?” I don’t write of why Islam should not be identified as a religion? You are the one who writes that Islam is a religion. You also wrote that Islam should be acknowledged as a religion even though it is not a true one. Your original words, not mine. You also write that Islam is a religion. What is your opinion today?
gravenimage says
Reread my post which started with ”can we talk?”
…………..
Giacomo, the post you refer to is not even on this thread.
I finally tracked it down on the “Over 50% of those wanted by the Ottawa police have Muslim names” thread:
https://www.jihadwatch.org/2021/10/over-50-of-those-wanted-by-the-ottawa-police-have-muslim-names#comment-2379529
You note Islam’s ugly beginnings, none of which I dispute, obviously.
Here is the definiton of religion:
https://www.merriam-webster.com/dictionary/religious
Islam fits this definition. Good people successfully fought against Islam for centuries without having to pretend that it does not–and demanding that others pretend the same.
Mark McCaffrey says
As people here have pointed out, there is a reluctance in the establishment media to lay the blame where it belongs. We are also seeing in the UK an attempt to divert the blame onto others. Right-wing papers are attempting to pin the blame on the Labour Party and left-wing ones on everybody (we are all guilty). The Speaker of the House of Commons complained about the general level of abuse aimed at MPs as if attacking MPs for their failures to represent the majority of the people is the cause of this murder. How different to the response to the previous murder of an MP by a ‘right-wing’ terrorist, when the Establishment went into overdrive to link him with anyone who supported Brexit, opposed immigration or believed in the ‘Great Replacement’ theory. For a good read on this I suggest you all look at this article:- https://www.spiked-online.com/2021/10/16/can-we-now-have-an-honest-discussion-about-islamist-terrorism/
David Everitt says
I’m honestly suprised that they have’nt arrested Tommy Robinson in relation to this?.
Noa Chevro says

David Everitt says
Tommy Robinson, it’s ‘im wot dunnit.
E T says
This poor Muslim lived in a two million dollar house. His father is a former member of the Somalian government. Ali Harbi Ali, 25, stabbed Sir David Amess 17 times. He had planned the attack over a week ago.

Thank you for that background, E T. More proof that it is not poverty that breeds Jihad.
