A van has reportedly crashed into pedestrians outside a mosque in London, causing a "number of casualties".

Officers arrested one person after they were called shortly after midnight to the incident on Seven Sisters Road, near Finsbury Park station.

Police said they were responding to a "major incident" with "a number of casualties being worked on at the scene".

Witnesses reported seeing six people on the ground after the van ploughed into worshippers who had been attending evening prayers at the Muslim Welfare House. London Ambulance Service said they had sent "a number of resources" to the incident.

May be the only way out. Fighting a medieval threat requires going misdeal on their asses.

I think it is a turning point, too. People have had it with the whole shebang. Those guys interrupted Shakespear!! Now this. I think it’s been a long time coming, frankly, and in that little black place in my heart, I celebrated.

None of the reports on television or online describe the driver.

A quick shot of him: from Twitter

In the words of black liberal, Joy Reid of The View:

“It’s ‘delicate’ because while we hope the victims recover , we can’t ignore their history.”

I disagree. Fight fire with fire. An eye for an eye. It’s the only thing that these barbarians understand. Giddy Up! Cowboys and Muslims is coming soon.

“According to comments, the driver was white”

What is the definition of “white”? It’s just that looking at the photo of the perp from the Daily Mail he looks, well, he looks to be of Middle Eastern/Mediterranean appearance rather than what you would expect a man of Anglo-Saxon origin to look like.

He looks swarthy, has thick black hair an angular Arabic/Pakistani nose and may even have a beard.

In other words, if this guy is the perpetrator I don’t expect him to have a name like Peter Blenkinsop or Matthew Heatherington.

“From watching the coverage on Fox, the “peaceful” Muslims outside the mosque are on the verge of rioting. If this turns out to be a revenge killing by a non-Muslim, the “peaceful” Muslims will probably set London on fire”.

I’ve been watching Fox and I’ve been thinking the exact same thing.

It’s going to get much worse over the summer.

Doesn’t necessarily look white to me. Might be, but also could be Middle Eastern. Can’t tell for sure from the videos.

Or it could be a small sign that the West still has a will to live.


Good point.

The media already takes the Muslim side, not even announcing when the terrorist is Muslim unless it can’t be avoided. If we hate because they are evil, we must not be evil.
