Woolwich: 'Soldier Dead After Terror Attack'
Sky News ^ | 6:31pm UK, Wednesday 22 May 2013 | sky news

Posted on 05/22/2013 10:41:45 AM PDT by Eurotwit

A man reported to be a serving soldier is dead and two people have been shot in Woolwich, south east London, after what Sky sources understand is being treated as a terrorist attack. Downing Street has called a meeting of the Government's Cobra emergency committee after the incident in John Wilson Street, which David Cameron described as "truly shocking". Sky sources understand that senior police officers believe the killing was likely to be a politically-motivated Islamist terrorist attack. Dozens of weapons - including a number of knives - and pools of blood could be seen on the ground, where a man wearing a Help for Heroes T-shirt is said to have been attacked by two men.

>>> If anything this disgusting incident will cause a reaction nationwide against Islam.

I pray that you are right.

Okay. Now, what comes of it?

You see, that’s the real kicker here. If some actions are taken to reduce the Islamic threat, great. You and I know that won’t happen though.

Nothing short of elimination the flood of Islamic adherents is going to eliminate this sort of threat.

And so this type of thing will continue to take place.

I honestly believe expecting something from these meetings is the real expression of ignorance.

Yes, but it mas more of an alien *invitation* than an alien invasion. The Brits did it to themselves.

***...after what Sky sources understand is being treated as a terrorist attack***

Didn’t Downing Street get the memo??? The standard line five minutes after the attack is that “Now, there’s no reason to think this is a terrorist attack”.

C’mon girls, let’s get with the program like those heavyweights across the pond...

The reporter says he’s holding a “machete” and this has been referred to as a machete attack.

He was holding a meat cleaver, not a machete.

The whole thing is surreal.

Does it matter? He hacked a guy to pieces and is proud of it....plus there are other weaposn used he wasn’t carrying in this photo.

His reasons for doing this fall on deaf ears...blaming other governments for the barbaric happenings in his own country....I really am fast coming to the point I don’t care what they do to each other....send them all home and let them go at it!

Demonic? Perhps...but he certainly tried to make a point that his barbarism is justified by what is happening in his own country..and blaming the world for it....which I don't buy one bit...nor do I care.

He should have been in his country trying to stop it there....but they never do that...they come to other countries and with it their deranged and hateful cultures. I am for sending all of them home...before we are also facing these events on a ‘daily’ basis here.

Today dosent alter the fact that 96% of the UK is Not Muslim. And that we arent and will not be run by the Muslims. If anything this disgusting incident will cause a reaction nationwide against Islam.

Look, I'm not trying to pick an argument, but if what you say is true, why are there some 85 sharia law courts operating in Great Britain? Does that give you hope?

They're trying to start it here too. We seem to be moving just a bit behind you in this...and in the wrong direction. Sure, you have your eyes open, but how many others of the 96% non-muslim can see past their PC/diversity blinders?

I am very suspicious of the 85 court claim, given that the Sharia courts, which I never supported btw, started in just five cities. If there are 85, most are illegal and should be shut down and people jailed.

seems like the fiendish freak's objective in demanding that bystanders photograph him was to disseminate his image - proudly posing with his hands dripping with the blood of an "infidel" in hope of inspiring like-minded monsters.

from your Telegraph news

Just pointing out that both our countries are going in the wrong direction. The USA and Britain I knew years ago would never have tolerated, much less sought out, such a group of immigrants. Today, they are not being shut down and are not going to jail.

OK,fair enough.

And that we aren't and will not be run by the Muslims

"Will not be"? That's a pretty bold statement.Isn't some variation of "sharia law" currently being practiced in at least part of the UK (but perhaps not in Scotland)? If I'm correct in my suspicion...who would have thought,ten years ago,that that would be the case? After all,the legal systems of all the world's great nations (US/Canada/Australia,etc) are based on Britain's.

....”in hope of inspiring like-minded monsters”...

..and it will no doubt. Never takes much to bring them out of the sewers.

Nations just don’t get it, cultures are different for a reason...and each needs to remain in their own...regardless of their struggles and what they do to each other. Some will never know anything but war...it’s in their nature to be so.
