This is was not terrorism and it has nothing to do with Islam.

LOL! Before I clicked the Daily Mail link, I was going to post you that they weren't going to allow comments.

I was correct. Even the Daily Mail goes PC sometimes - especially when foaming rabid-dog Musloid killers are concerend...

It will be entertaining watching the edit war on Wikipedia after the Musloid apologist/propagandists seize control of the page. :)

The woman who was murdered is the aunt of my daughter’s neighbor.

The neighbor and his wife were over for dinner at my daughter’s house tonight, when his mother called to tell them her sister was just murdered on the street by a terrorist in London.

She and her husband were in London for a conference. Tonight was their last night and they were walking back to their hotel after dinner.

This is sickening.

Is the deceased woman an American?

Terrorism was mentioned.. the police and the MSM employees had the courage to actually mention it.

Yes the Islamists’ patented consanguinity technology has enabled them to produce tens of thousands of “high-tech” weapons annually — at little or no cost for the Islamists.

The weapons are mass produced in Islamist societies by 40-percent or so of the population.

The Islamists even deploy their weapons and weapons producing facilities to welcoming countries all over the world. Here's a FR thread with more.

Yes . . . terrorism became very real for my daughter tonight. She knows the mom of the neighbor who has lost her beloved sister to Islamic terror. She’s shaken.

I lived a couple blocks from there when I was an exchange student in 1974.

Fortunately the police caught the perp.

Let us hope justice will prevail.

Prayers for your daughter and her neighbors.

Can only imagine being so close to a terrorism situation must be.

I’m just relieved nobody had a gun. Otherwise, someone might have gotten hurt - or worse, killed.
