British investigators announced the arrest Monday of a 27-year-old man following a stabbing spree in the city of Birmingham that left one person dead and two more in critical condition.

The suspect, who has not been identified by West Midlands Police, is being held on one count of suspicion of murder and seven counts of attempted murder stemming from the incidents that unfolded early Sunday morning in which the victims appeared to have been targeted at random.

"To think that people going about enjoying their evening out were attacked by what appears to be a lone knifeman is truly dreadful,” West Midlands Police and Crime Commissioner David Jamieson told Sky News. "Our thoughts must be with the family of the deceased man and those who are still in hospital recovering from their injuries."

Is he Muslim? Are we allowed to ask?

But even if he is Muslim, do we have any clues, any ideas at all as to what would cause such behavior? Any ideas at all as to the motive?

Shouldn’t jump to conclusions. Might be the newest agent of BLM or antifa working out of the new UK office.

Well, on USENET last week, on an OT thread in rec.food.cooking, somebody posted a link to an article on the higher rates of schizophrenia of Caribbean blacks than the general population in the UK.

That’s assuming of course, that the alleged perp wasn’t a recent import from, or a follower of islamic [fascist] Africa.

It's a good thing that the citizenry of Great Britain are not allowed to arm themselves with anything more deadly than their cuisine. The Brits are prone to facing their murderers with a stiff upper lip when being knifed, run over by a lorry, or chopped up with a cleaver.

A nice place to visit, I wouldn't want to die there.

Jihad in Israel prefer the slash attack. Jihad are expendable and knives are cheaper than vest bombs or guns.

The Imams teach that cutting the throat of an Infidel is a ticket to paradise.
