Why aren't they calling this a terrorist attack?
How can any sick **** purposefully run someone over, these people are sick.
What is far more worrying is how a minority of imams and extremists will spin it.
A Muslim on BBC news earlier began saying he blames the media for the amount of Islamophobia in Europe currently. And they play a big role in attacks like this one.
They cut him off within 5 seconds of him saying it.
The guy is apparently from the rhondda.
Just heard a conversation in a chip shop in Cardiff on this subject.
I mentioned that the guy was from south Wales
Chip shop lady 1: but I thought it was a terrorist
Chip shop lady 2: it was
CSL 1 : but he's white
CSL 2 : you can have white terrorists
CSL 1 : no, that's not terrorism, that's retaliation.
I should probably have challenged that attitude, but I bottled it and smiled politely and left.
I knew this comment would be up there with one of the first.
Did you look around the media to see how they were representing it or did you just write this before knowing.
By the way, the media are calling it a terrorist attack.
"Pro-Islamic State channels are using reports of the incident in Finsbury Park to incite Muslims, according to groups which monitor jihadists."
I'm ahead of uk time so when I first started looking there was no mention of a terrorist attack or it being considered a terorist attck.
I just thought it would be interesting to see if it was reported the same way as the others considering the leanings in the media etc. I still haven't seen the Jo Cox murder called a terrorist attack despite it being the definition of one.
Latest is that the driver "seems to have mental health issues".
It could be argued that perpetrators of this kind of act are not mentally stable period.
You would hope so but not if these contributors to Yahoo News are representative of the people....

Islamophobic extremist terrorism is as disgusting as Islamist extremist terrorism & must be treated as such.
