Tater: “i want muslims dead”
A man drove a van into a group of muslims in london when they fell in love with a house of prayer
In london, the mood in brexit britain seems to be heating up after the election debacle and after the devastating fire in a high-rise building. The method propagated by islamist terror groups such as al-qaeda and islamic state of driving vehicles into crowds of people and killing random people was also practiced in the latest terrorist attack in london.
The terrorists and their followers, who want to strike fear and terror in the west in the name of islam with bloody attacks, whose victims can be anyone, now seem to have unleashed an equally blind and deadly rage to carry out an attack against muslims with the same weapons. In the north of london, in the district of finsbury park. At midnight, a van plowed into a group of muslims who had just fallen in love with the muslim welfare house, a small house of prayer. In the process, one man was killed, 8 people were injured so badly that they were hospitalized. A nearby rude mosque, from which believers also streamed, has allegedly been the target of recent anti-muslim attacks.
The angry crowd detained the driver, who was later arrested by the called police on suspicion of murder. He is to be subjected to a psychiatric evaluation. Allegedly, the imam had to intervene to stop people from doing worse to the perpetrator. The 48-year-old is reported to have said: "I want to kill muslims" and "I did my part." according to a witness, two more persons had fled the scene. Police report that, as things stand, there are no further suspects at present. There were no other people in the car. Criticism has been raised that it took police longer to get to the scene than in islamist attacks.
Witnesses described the incident as a targeted attack. The beleaguered prime minister theresa may announced that the incident was being considered as a possible terrorist attack. It is being investigated by the police anti-terrorist squad. Home secretary amber rudd, with the focus now on the security of muslim institutions and mosques, previously seen as hotbeds of terrorism, said after manchester that there was a £2.5 million fund set up last year for 12 mosques. It wants to open the fund for other houses of prayer that demand more security: "we will make sure to do everything we can to reduce this type of attack."
Harun khan, secretary general of the muslim council of britain’s (MCB), said there had already been many islamophobic attacks in recent times, but this was only the most violent so far. The perpetrator, khan said, also appeared to be driven by islamophobia. He called on police to urgently tighten security sweeps now at the end of ramadan, when many muslims visit mosques.
