I see the BBC are now reporting that people heard him shouting about Admiral Ackbar prior to detonating the explosive device.

Anybody know if it's normal for armed soldiers to be patrolling train stations in Belgium?

I'm not sure if they have an active government.

The Sun says he blew himself up as he was shot.

A "mentally ill" Muslim almost certainly.

[Keyser]

Those damn Buddhists again.

I have to say with regard to this country I always find the lefts apparent admiration of Islam baffling.

Homophobia.

Check.

Racism.

Check.

Misogyny.

Check.

I am left leaning myself and all I see is a primitive ideology as savage as the deserts that spawned it.

Why just the Left's apparent admiration?

It doesn't matter if he was mentally ill or not. It also doesn't matter if he was considered a terrorist or not. Too much emphasis is put on both - they're just labels. After every atrocity, some people try and downplay it by saying 'ah but police haven't confirmed it was terrorism yet' or 'he was mentally ill' as if either make it not quite so bad. They don't. The same applies to any similar attack, including the Finsbury Park one. We all know the drill by now, and are able to distinguish the difference between attacks of this nature and 'regular' murders.

in this instance, he was yet another muslim out to kill innocents. Mentally ill or not, terrorist or not - it makes no difference, we're beyond that now, and should stop faffing around with such labels.

You're happy at last to call the white van man hit on the mosque a terrorist event then?

Because it is mainly the left - the cognitive dissonance with regard to Islam is simply astounding.

And the Finsbury Park terrorist was ANOTHER Christian out to kill innocents.
Your point is what exactly?

But, but, all the major right wing-wing papers - you know the kind you Arsenal boys read - have been falling over themselves to claim the Finsbury Park terrorist was mentally-ill. Now you say such a deliberation makes no difference. Wish you lot would make up your minds.

It is the alt-right movement that has cognitive dissonance with Islam and radical Islam

The Left are anti-religion
