London: Van Mows Down Pedestrians, Multiple People Injured, None Reported Dead - Was This Attack Targeting Muslims?


From AP:
LONDON (AP) — A vehicle struck pedestrians on a north London road early Monday morning, causing several casualties, police said. 
One person has been arrested. 
Sky News reported that police said the incident happened after worshippers were leaving the Finsbury Park mosque after prayers. 
Metropolitan Police said officers were called to the scene on Seven Sisters Road at 12:20 a.m. Monday. 
The London Ambulance Service said it was responding to the incident.
This was near Finsbury Park Mosque (the Mosque featured in the Undercover Mosque TV shows, as I recall).

So, the question is, was this attack targeting Muslims?

Here is the Undercover Mosque show from Channel 4 Britain:

3 white men with knifes.

1 beaten down by crowd of Muslims, 2 on the lamb.

1 dead that I saw reported. If you didn't see this coming you're an idiot living under a rock.

While not condoning it, the message seems to be "How do you like the shoe on the other foot?"

Hatred begats hatred. Simple as that.

Seems it was an attack targeting Muslims, based on the news this morning.

Media will play the backlash phobia narrative.

But my contention has been the same for a decade now. Vigilantism arises from a security and policy vacuum. Simple as that.

Clarify, please.

TLEP,

I agree in this case of the van attack in London last night.

Well I just figured that while I seem to be the only one here prepared to openly celebrate this act of violence in a public forum, you might at least privately enjoy a nice chardonnay.

Basically, a smart ass continuation of our conversation on a previous thread.

.... now I see where May is going to "protect the Mosques". You know we intially built the WW2 Internment camps under the guise of protecting Japanese Americans from the general population.

Ah! I get it. No worries.

Actually, I'd love to privately enjoy a nice chardonnay. Unfortunately, alcohol of any type is forbidden by my doctors because of these pain meds I have to take (hopefully, for not much longer).

BTW, I just heard May's dhimmitudinal address on the topic of the van attack in Finnsbury. Sheesh. The jihadists and wannabe jihadists must be laughing up their sleeves.
