London Westminster shooting is being treated as a "Terrorist Attack"
London police have confirmed the incident at Westminster is being treated as terrorist as it has been confirmed one woman is dead and others hurt, some with "catastrophic" injuries, in the attack. The attacker mowed down several pedestrians as he drove a 4x4 car across Westminster Bridge before crashing it into railings then running through the gates of the Palace of Westminster and stabbing the officer.
Eyewitnesses said he was shot by police as he approached a second officer clutching his knife. "We've declared this as a Terrorist Attack and the counter-terrorism command are carrying out a full-scale investigation into the events today," Mark Rowley, Britain's most senior counter-terrorism officer, told reporters.
The British Press is already trying to put the Progressive Spin on this terrorist attack by referring to the terrorist as an "Asian Guy" !
When the truth becomes apparent that the terrorist was not Asian but Muslim the Progressive Spin will get further twisted.
British authorities are enabling evil once again and just call a spade a spade it's not that hard. The fact that the terrorist drove a vehicle through a crowd is proof enough whom the individual is. Islamic Terrorist and welcomed into the UK by the bleeding heart Progressives of that country.
Read the Quran, the Sunna, and the hadith, and you'll actually be surprised that it isn't worse. Islam's eschatology actually brainwashes people to be sociopaths and psychopaths. What typical Westerners on the Left or the Right deem insane, Islam deems morally virtuous.
Once again innocent civilians lie dead and wounded all because of the eye-watering, shortsighted stupidity of our western politicians, past and present.
At last, at long last the United States has a President who recognizes the utter folly of letting the Muslim terrorist filth into the country.
It's too late to save Europe from the horrors they've experienced to date and are going to continue to reap as a consequence of their mindless politicians and apathetic electorate, but America has time to save itself from the self imposed nightmare which is engulfing Europe.
Rudyard Kipling, East is East and West is West, and never the t'wain shall meet.
Are the children actively calling for our death. You would be a fool to wait for a man waiving a gun at the crowed to actually point it at you before you do anything.
I think he's implying that your children are naturally more violent without reason. Better to be violent with a root cause than to be unnecessarily violent for the hell of it (i.e. a lot of Americans)
You aren't really concerned about terrorist attacks in the UK and when it is brought to the forefront all you can do is the Classic Progressive Spin to avoid the truth and reality that stares you in the face.
Well, I figured since you're in the habit of having irrational fears I may as well let you in some more bad hombres that could be out to get you.
Did you know falling out of bed kills nearly 450 people per year, what is that compared to terrorism in the US/UK? Are you going to sleep on a mattress on the ground for the rest of your life now?
Hippos can kill almost 3,000 annually. That's like a September 11th attack every year due to Hippopotamuses. Are you going to go crazy ranting about the dangers of hippos online now?
My point is, you're probably afraid of your own shadow.
When the truth becomes apparent that the terrorist was not Asian but Muslim the Progressive Spin will get further twisted.
In Britain when someone is described as "Asian," they are typically referring to someone from southern Asia, aka the Middle East. Don't forget, those Muslim countries are part of Asia. Besides that, the man actually responsible for the attacks was born and raised in England.
A KILLER who murdered three people before he was shot dead by police has been named as a body-building obsessed married dad-of-three.
Muslim convert former English teacher Khalid Masood, 52, who mowed down pedestrians on Westminster Bridge before storming Parliament and stabbing a police officer to death, was born in Kent but later moved to the West Midlands.
SEDUCED BY ISIS London terror attacker named as Khalid Masood – a 52-year-old body-building obsessed dad-of-three English teacher seduced by ISIS
The Muslim convert used several aliases and had been convicted previously of possessing a knife.
Khalid Masood does have an Asian tone to the name don't you think ! LMMFAO
Despite what you think, look at any world map and you'll see that the middle east, and even over into Pakistan and Afghanistan are very much Asian countries.
Though your question was directed at someone else, whether Asian Muslim or Muslim Asian would be a personal decision of their own. Same can be said for Christians in America.
Lynn said-" In Britain when someone is described as "Asian," they are typically referring to someone from southern Asia, aka the Middle East. Don't forget, those Muslim countries are part of Asia.
So are there just Asian Muslims or Muslim Asians ? They have to be one or the other because they can't be both.
We're not always going to agree on everything, but I try to maintain civil discourse with everyone I can. Some of my favorite people on here I've gone head to head with on some topics, but on others we agree. I believe that's how it should work.
182.1 million Asian Muslims or is Muslim Asians in Pakistan ? Either way they are Muslims and you can try all day long to window dress it but it is a failure.
"A 2009 study done by the Pew Research Center, based on China's census, concluded there are 21,667,000 Muslims in China, accounting for 1.6% of the total population.[10][145] According to the State Administration for Religious Affairs (SARA), there are more than 21 million Muslims in the country."
There's one country, you can google just like the rest of us.
I think you need to review what you're typing before hitting submit. That or maybe you need to sit back and think about all the ways in which what you just said makes absolutely no sense.
There are Asian Muslims, but not all Asians are Muslim. Do you always make idiotic blanket statements about groups of millions of people or are you just inherently ignorant?
Yeah, I know what happened; not sure what you're hoping to gain by telling the story again. To reiterate, in England when someone is described as Asian they typically are referring to someone from Pakistan or India, not Southeast Asia like we think in the US.
Yes he was, but when you can only see a person's appearance, their ethnicity is the most accurate way to describe them. Sure you can argue it's quite likely that he was Muslim, but jumping to conclusions would be dishonest reporting.
I didn't say "content", I said, "continents". Clearly you are confused by it. It's okay, though. Most people who are so adamantly against progressive ideas are Christians; people often taught the world is just a few thousand years old, with corners and water above the sky. I can understand how the idea of continents can be confusing.
