If the Christian or non-believer kills in order to push a political or ideological agenda it would be correctly labelled terrorism.

 

Why do you think Muslims should be treated differently?

 

The attacker is a black Muslim who murdered and seriously wounded random white people because of their skin colour and/or non Muslim status. 

 

Or perhaps you think he's simply mentally ill and it's just a coincidence all the victims were white non Muslims?

Until we know what and why all options should be left open. You're jumping to conclusions.

 

Your presumptions about my thinking are yours, telling about your thinking and not about mine.

Breaking now that UK police have declared it a terrorist attack.

[torturedsole]

The only saving grace was there were no children sitting in the park, otherwise we know what would have happened to them.

"There have been some reports that this incident was linked to the Black Lives Matter protest which took place in Reading earlier this afternoon," Hunter said. "I can confirm that this incident is not connected. It occurred around three hours after the protest had concluded."

Colour and religion of assailant not reported ........ wonder why?

knife attack committed by an asylum seeker, repeated pattern in European host countries

Well, because it's been declared a terrorist attack by a not so white follower of Islam make a wild guess.

Maybe we should create a new organisation called 'White Lives Matter".

'cause the police have not yet laid charges it was an Islamist terror attack? In any case do UK police mention skin colour of someone charged?

if this had been a mass shooting the headline would of clearly identified the attackers color. we all know white guys do the mass shootings. 

 

the bias in reporting now a days is clear as mud. i bet they say asian when they finally talk about it. 

Better just to say an African man.

The links are in reference to killings in EU, not the Reading murders. As just posted in the topic report confirming Reading was a terror attack.

The BLM meeting had finished a couple of hours before the attack ( around 7pm.) Police are stating it was not connected to the meeting.

And so what? Asylum seekers, granted (or not) asylum can commit crimes - as it has happened numerous times - that they turn out to be or become islamist terrorists is the risk - we host countries are less and less willing to take. We've learned at our expenses.

All Lives Matter, except extremist lives. Muslims that kill for Allah are not wanted anywhere in the modern world.  Time to act Britain, get rid of the immigrants.

TVP Chief Constable confirmed this was terror related during a live interview on sky a few mins ago.

Twitter says (yes, I know , pinch of salt stuff) that it was a Libyan muslim. Now, if that is true, it would appear white is not the enemy of black, and black not the enemy of white, but Islam the enemy of all (in their own words)

Sounds as if you are one of those racists. Disgusting!????

[Rookiescot]

Good grief guys.

Lets not turn this into the usual political affiliated nonsense we almost always have.

Three people have died simply because they were in the wrong place at the wrong time. Their families must be devastated. 

Can we just leave it at that?

[RichardColeman]

i think this is a real kick on the teeth for anyone who wants to take their thai wife to the uk but fall foul of the immigration fiance/wife financial limits. Here we have a muslim, violent past terrorist that we cannot deport whilst baring good other people from coming who don;t need financial aid, have a home and yet we treat like 2nd class citizens

You quoted my post, where I never mentioned " terror attack" and asked for a link to justify a claim I have not made, invoking  forum etiquette ?

( my post was exactly: "knife attack committed by an asylum seeker, repeated pattern in European host countries")

He was an asylum seeker who had been in jail in the UK , I wonder whether he was due for deportation and did this to stay in the UK ?
