Tommy discusses the London terror attack, the "refugees", Islam, and what needs to be understood.

Barack Obama wouldn’t even utter the words, “radical Islamic terrorism” let alone work diligently to protect us from jihadists taking root on American soil. President Trump needs to be warned about the terrorist training which has been going on right under Obama’s nose for the past eight years! A total of 22 training camps have not only been confirmed within the United States, FBI agents have even been inside of them! The FBI knows radical Islamic terrorist training camps exist in America, but have been prevented from doing anything substantive about it. When the FBI agents walked onto the terrorist...

US President Donald Trump’s son has slammed the Mayor of London for saying terror attacks are “part of living in a big city” as his father called the Parliament attack “big news”.Donald Trump Jnr tweeted a link to a story from the Independent about comments made by London Mayor Sadiq Khan in September.Mr Khan said he believes the threat of terror attacks are “part and parcel of living in a big city”.

They stood in the centre of Brussels. Row on row. Hands held high, making hearts to the heavens. Showing the slaughtered they were not forgotten. Reminding themselves they were here with love. Looking to show humanity wins. That love conquers all. They lay in the centre of London, face down where they fell. Stabbed by a knife, rammed with a car, flung, broken, into the Thames, life bleeding out on the curb. And the news came thick and fast.

Seven arrests have been made in raids following the Westminster attack that left four dead, police have said. Acting Deputy Commissioner and Head of Counter Terrorism Mark Rowley said hundreds of detectives have worked through the night, carrying out searches at six addresses.

Reports are circulating that the terrorist responsible for the attacks outside the Palace of Westminster in London today is radical Muslim cleric Abu Izzadeen, whose birth name was reported to be Trevor Brooks, from Clapton in Hackney. Scotland Yard did not confirm the attacker's identity but did confirm that he was killed during the assault. Police said the man acted alone in the attack.

The 48-year-old husband and father was among five people who died, including the attacker, near the Houses of Parliament. The attacker, whose identity police believe they know, stabbed the unarmed officer before being shot dead. Forty other people were injured after a car struck pedestrians on nearby Westminster Bridge, before it crashed.

As a throng of Muslim families crowd around him, Abu Izzadeen speaks in a quiet voice of his plans for the future of Britain. The tall, bearded 36-year-old — who was recently freed from prison after serving a term for funding terrorism — is telling, in chilling detail, how he wants to impose Islam’s strict Sharia law on this country. ...This is all part of Izzadeen’s concerted campaign to defeat ‘Western decadence’ and turn large parts of Britain — where, his supporters say, ‘people live like animals in a jungle’ — into an Islamic Emirate.

A British hate preacher who is banned from leaving the UK after being convicted for terrorism offences has been arrested in Hungary - where he tried to use the Koran as his ID. Trevor Brooks, also known as Abu Izzadeen, an infamous Islamist extremist who was jailed in 2008 for financing terrorism, was stopped by officers on Saturday at Lokoshaza - a crossing point on the Hungarian border - while bound for Romania on a train. When the 44-year-old was stopped Saturday, he reportedly presented officers with Islam's Holy Book as his form of identification.

The United Kingdom has followed the United States in preventing passengers on flights from some countries in the Middle East and Africa from carrying devices such as laptops and tablets in the cabin. The restrictions affect 14 airlines, six of which are based in the U.K. As in the U.S., the ban covers any electronic devices larger than a typical smartphone.

Police have uncovered 51 organisations with suspected terrorist ties in the migrant-dominated Molenbeek district of Brussels, according to a new report into anti-terror measures. Belgium’s Interior Minister Jan Jambon promised to “clean up” the now-notorious municipality, which has a reputation for being a jihadi safe-haven, after authorities discovered the Brussels commune acted as a hub for many of the suspects involved in the Paris and Brussels terror attacks. The confidential report revealed that under the Channel Plan, police have carried out door-to-door checks on more than 8,600 houses and 22,668 inhabitants — a quarter of all Molenbeek residents — in...

In the airport terminal the attacker assaulted a patrol of three counter-terrorism soldiers, wrestling one of them to the floor and trying to take her gun.

As noted by Robert Satloff of The Washington Institute, a 2007 book from the Gallup press, Who Speaks for Islam? What a Billion Muslims Really Think, based on a poll of more than 50,000 Muslims in ten countries, found that 7 percent of Muslims deem the 9/11 attacks "completely justified"; 13.5 percent consider the attacks completely or "largely justified," and 36.6 percent consider the attacks completely, largely, or "somewhat justified."[5]Which of these groups does one define as Islamist and which not? Islamists have fooled the White House, the departments of Defense, Justice, State, and Treasury, Congress, and law enforcement. Faced...

A specialist bomb squad has been scrambled to the Swedish city of Gothenburg after an explosion, just 24 hours after a suspected car bomb rocked Stockholm. The incident occurred in the stairwell of an apartment block just after 10 pm on Friday evening, Göteborgs-Posten reports. “I thought it was another country that has come to attack. I thought it was a war…” said one witness. Authorities suspect the blast was caused by an “attack” involving some form of homemade device, and the National Guard and a police bomb squad were called to the scene. “We suspect that there are some...

We should remember it because it was one of the first acts of serious domestic terrorism” Long before Osama bin Laden’s lieutenants flew a hijacked commercial airliner into the Pentagon on 9/11, Muslim terrorists carried out an attack in the heart of Washington, D.C. This week in 1977 armed Islamic militants invaded three Washington, D.C. buildings and took almost 150 people hostage, radio station WTOP reminds us. During the three-day siege that took place on March 9, 10, and 11, a few weeks after Jimmy Carter was sworn in as the nation’s new president, Hanafi Muslims killed two men and...

One is therefore left to wonder if Rafiq is just another in a long line of embarrassed Muslim authorities trying to rationalize away their coreligionists’ depraved practices in the name of Islam In light of recent revelations that the Islamic State is teaching its followers to eat non-Muslims, surely we can now all agree that, at least in this, ISIS is truly not Islamic?
