Outside a Mosque apparently.  So a nutter on a revenge mission.

I let out a puff of my cheeks upon reading this. I just don't know any more. Morale in this country is at the lowest I've ever known it, I can't speak for older folk but it's an utterly depressing state of affairs at the moment.

Let's hope it isn't as bad as it looks like it could be and those injured and hurt make a speedy recovery.

Hopefully not. The number of martyrs on the islamophobia side will probably be much lower. No scripture crutch, no promise of heavenly reward, just near universal condemnation and life in prison on the nonce wing for his own protection.

Isn't sectarianism intra-religious conflict (e.g. protestant v catholic, sunni v shia)? By all accounts this wasn't a sectarian attack.

It is. Amber Rudd confirmed it and the police spokesman said that they immediately assumed it was terrorism because of the nature of the attack.

They are apparently not sure if the person who died, died as a result of the terrorist attack. A group of people were giving CPR to someone who had had a heart attack, and this vehicle ploughed into them. You could fuckin cry couldn't you. With everything that's already going on and then you get some fucking deviant coming along to add to the tensions that are already busting this society apart at the seams.

If you're going to get up in arms about something secondary to this awful news, please at least do it accurately

From the early reports it sounds like they caught the perpetrator, and he was protected by the local imam. Both of these are good things, and the latter is something that I think we can all use to unite behind. The attacker shouldn't get the notoriety nor the violent reprecussions he craves. Now we'll progress this following through our justice system, and he will be put on trial. He is done, let's unite behind condemning him, and not allow his actions (and public trial) to be divisive

Awful news sympathy to all those people affected.

Just seen an interview with a local Muslim leader, what an impressive man he is. I hope others pay heed to his warnings about spreading rumours none of which are useful to this tragedy. Let's just allow the police to do their investigation.

This is awful. It all sounds deliberate therefore it's terrorism for me. I don't care if the guys part of some terrorist group or just some random extremist. It's terrorism. I'd rather the media stop the linking of terrorist incidents to groups as it's what thy want.

This may well be revenge for other attacks by some nutjob and if so the media should reconsider how they report incidents in the future.

"Poked".. unless you have the brain of a pea, I don't think anyone considers themselves under attack by the British Muslim community from previous attacks  and that it's some sort of us vs. them scenario.

Surely this isn't the thread to be talking about Islamism. It would be akin to talking about the clothes victims of sexual assaults are wearing. It's victim blaming.

This was an attack on Londoners practicing their religion. Regardless of anything else, and I say this as an atheist, we can all agree that the freedom to practice religion is a vital tenet to our way of life in the UK, and one we must preserve.

The why is really important if you want to try to try to stop it happening in the future though. It can't or shouldn't be forgotten.

Errrr...the guy was shouting "I want to kill Muslims". It clearly was an Islamophobic terrorist attack. Not sure why you'd have a problem with someone stating that.
