Theresa May (UK): The Finsbury Park Mosque Attack Was 'Evil' Islamophobic Terrorism

PM Theresa May says Finsbury Park attack was "evil" Islamophobic terrorism.

• An unnamed white man drove into people exiting a Mosque in north London in the early hours Monday morning, killing one and leaving at least 10 others injured.
• May says security at mosques across Britain will be reviewed in wake of the attack.

LONDON — Prime Minister Theresa May has denounced the attack on Finsbury Park Mosque an act of Islamophobic terrorism "every bit as sickening" as other attacks against Britain in recent months.

Speaking at Number 10 Downing Street on Monday morning, May said the attack in north London in the early hours of this morning was against "ordinary and innocent" British muslims.

"It was an attack that targeted the ordinary and the innocent," the prime minister said.

"Today we come together as we have done before to condemn this act and state an act of hatred of this kind will never succeed in dividing us.

"Like all terrorism, in whatever form, it shares the same goal: to drive us apart. We will not let this happen.

"There has been far too much tolerance of extremism in this country," May added. "That's extremism of any kind — including Islamaphobia".

The prime minister was speaking in Westminster after a man who is yet to be named drove a white van into a group of worshippers exiting Finsbury Park Mosque, north London in the early hours of Monday morning.

The attack has killed one man and injured 10 others, so far. A 48-year-old man has been arrested. The police confirmed at 6:53 a.m. BST (1:53 a.m. ET) that they are not looking for anyone else in connection with the attack.

No it wasn’t terrorism. It’s called evening the score.

The news reports indicate that the one fatality may not have been caused by the van. So there is not exactly parity in the body count. By the reaction, you would think this was the biggest terror attack ever.

So they’ll call this what it is at the drop of a hat, but they hesitate to say “Evil Islamic Terrorism” when it fits. Nice.

It is a spirit and we’re in a spiritual/political/cultural war. The spirit is the spirit of antichrist AKA political correctness AKA Leftism AKA Worldwide Islamic Supremacy.

But, as evidenced by Trump’s miraculous election, I believe God has taken a hand and these dark forces will be pushed back for the next few decades before Jesus comes for his Chrich and then it will all come crashing down.

Odd isn’t it, that it is Islam which caused this non-muslim man’s behavior against muslims. Islam is a criminal enterprise that advocates murder and enslavement against non-muslims. Who wouldn’t hate such behavior by any group that advocates supremacy over and death to the natives? Oh yeah the idiot pols and the better-then-though supposedly educated (brain-washed!) populace who would also use violence against those who think rationally. This man’s behavior is the outcome of pols and libs advocating islamic supremacy over those born of the native culture, ethnicity. No one should support belief in the KKK, Nazi or Muslim (islamic) supremacy.

The perp in Orlando was bi, frequented the club, and he didn’t hide it from his wife. His outrage was over Obama’s military bombing of terrorists in Iraq and elsewhere, did he even mention condemnation of homosexuality in n his phone call?

There's a difference between a phobia and a legitimate aversion (fear can be the wrong word). Some people have a phobia that makes them ill at the sight or even the thought of snakes, but everybody is averse to close contact with the poisonous varieties and exercise rational caution around them based on the danger they represent.

Considering how many thousands of people are being killed and maimed in the name of Allah, often in the most perverse ways irrespective of age and gender, an aversion to contact with Muslims seems prudent.

But if they're going to insist on calling this "Islamophobia" then I'm going to insist on calling every Muslim on their demonstrably more common and completely unjusrified "Christophobia".

It certainly blew the attack in Mali out of the news cycle.

Notice in this anti-christian, PC world, the 99%+ daily attacks on the innocent are made by Muslim jihadists, but are characterized by the world and the Leftist media as simply “terrorist attacks”, usually no mention of “Muslim”, Islam, or “jihad”.

BUT...in the rare instance of someone attacking a mosque - oh my, the attack is blazoned with “ISLAMOPHOBIA”.

What utter bull sh#t.

Case in point: the headlines call today’s Champs-Élysées attack a ‘terror attack’ although it was Karim Cheurfi who had pledged allegiance to the Islamic State group and deliberately rammed his car filled with weapons and a gas bomb into a police van. You have to scroll way down the page to see any oh-by-the-way mention of this being a done by a Muslim extremist. The world is committing suicide by not confronting Islamic jihadism. http://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-4618184/Champs-Elysees-lockdown-amid-police-security-alert.html

This self destruction is a spirit and we’re in a spiritual/political/cultural war against it. The spirit is the spirit of antichrist AKA political correctness AKA Leftism AKA Worldwide Islamic Supremacy.

I think these things are Previews of Coming Attractions. For now, as evidenced by things like Trump’s miraculous election, I believe God has taken a hand and these dark forces will be pushed back for the next few decades before Jesus comes for his Church. Immediately after that, the Main Event will come crashing down on an unbelieving and utterly astonished world.
