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.

Well said Jim. Let’s hope we can stave off the second coming to allow our brothers and sisters the most time to repent.

We live in exciting times and if you’re a Christian you’re headed for heaven. I believe this is the time of the Last In-Gathering around the world (Luke 14:23) with God “compelling” many to come in these next few decades.

I believe we are living in the most eventful century ever to be recorded with the 21st Century ending - after the most horrific and astonishingly unbelievable seven-years of Tribulation ever - with Jesus Christ coming back with us to his throne in Jerusalem to rule the world and nations with a rod of iron as the King of Kings and the Prince of Peace.
