The suspect who rammed into Muslim worshippers as they left a mosque after prayers, allegedly screamed "I'm going to kill all Muslims" before he was tackled to the ground, a witness says.
Police disclosed that the suspect is a 48-year-old man, though they are yet to release a photo of him.
The Metropolitan Police described the attack as a "major incident" and said one person was in custody and there were "a number of casualties". The authorities are yet to call the attack a terror-related incident though the testimony of the eyewitness seems to suggest it might be.
Many of the victims had just finished worshipping at the Finsbury Park mosque after breaking the Ramadan fast when the incident occurred. The eyewitness, Abdulrahman Saleh Alamoudi, reportedly told the BBC that he was among a group of people helping an elderly worshipper who had fallen down, perhaps because of the heat, when the van swerved towards them.
"He was screaming, he was saying, 'I'm going to kill all Muslims, I'm going to kill all Muslims'. He was throwing punches. Then we managed to get him on the floor. Then he was saying, 'Kill me, kill me'. I said, 'We are not going to kill you. Why did you do that?' He wouldn't say anything."
This is getting serious oo.

Oh.. But let me be sincere, I have a Muslim friend from the north.... she is everything kind... Her family too, they are everything kind.... She is just an exception
@Galore
Your friend and the family are going to get killed too, I hope you'll be there so you die along
DeleteIdiot!
That's how all Christians are evil because of the actions of Pastor King and some South East Baby factory pastors and co. But I have a friend who is an exception.
DeleteI support the man. Muslims are way too evil. Its time they got a dose of their own medicine
ReplyDeleteThat's how all Christians are evil because of the actions of Pastor King and some South East Baby factory pastors and co?
DeleteSo I guess u'll agree dat Christians should be killed because of the evils of these men? Now double standards will start kicking in.
I think Christians find it easy to put forward this idea that Muslims generally should be killed or at least punished because of the atrocities being committed by terrorist groups like ISIS (which Muslims generally condemn); because their scripture (i.e. the Bible) teaches something similar; that is, I, for instance, am responsible for the sin/crime Adam committed many millenniums ago even before my great-great-great-great-great-great-great-great-great-great-great-great-great grand parents were conceived; why? because I'm also a human being like Adam, and we are of the same kind (i.e. human) even though the offender(s) (i.e. Adam or Adam and Eve) are clearly and separately identifiable.
This idea is archaic and nonsensical, I therefore ask Christians to desist from championing such an archaic, nonsensical, illogical, and old fashioned idea in this 21st century.
Religion must die. Let us all rise and challenge the Ills of religion in our society. It's killing us all
ReplyDeleteReligion is the greatest killer of mankind. Both Christians and Muslims, are responsible for the death, persecution and oppression of multitudes, dead and alive. Along as there is religion, there will be no peace.
DeleteShould i laugh or what.
ReplyDeleteObviously a scorned citizen.
ReplyDeleteLong live LIB
Definitely be is...
DeleteEspecially since his name isn't Mohammed or Farouq otherwise he would have been a "terrorist" right?
May b a xtian fundamentalist.
ReplyDeleteWat did d Muslims expect dat Christians too won't retaliate
ReplyDeleteThis iS absolutely nothing but another act of islamophobia..... May God continue to guide Muslims arround the world .... May God forgive him as well cos I saw the news this early morning and I realised immediately that it was an intentional act ....
ReplyDeleteIt isn't a terrorist attack because the guy ain't Muslim. They can continue.
ReplyDeleteNow it's "... allegedly said". If Na one foolish "terrorist" boy now, it'll be "and he screamed Allahu Akbar (i.e. God is greater (than all))"
ReplyDeleteI think the word TERROR should be used only when A Muslim commits a criminal offence bcoz that's the only Time I get to see the word being used..
ReplyDeleteShame on the media.
So this is not an act of terrorism?
the media cannot clearly and boldly declare it as such.. ?
Shame on the media once again.
should we also call the driver a terrorist?
ReplyDeleteWahala
ReplyDeleteIt's well... dee
ReplyDeleteHE'S A TERRORIST TOO FOR AS CHRISTIANS, WE DON'T FIGHT FOR OUR LORD AND SAVIOR JESUS CHRIST
ReplyDeletehe is not Christian please. Educate yourself. Because he is in the West doesn't make him Christian. So many westerners don't ever go to church. Quite a few are atheists.
DeleteWho told u so? We gat to fight as a Christian to stop dis demons from attacking us. Didn't King David and d rest fought their battle? Pls check ur bible very well and stop been gullible.
DeleteHmmm let's see how d media will tag this radical.... I bet it wouldn't be called 'christianTerrorism' or anything of such. We are getting closer to the TRUTH!
