UPDATE 23:45 23/03/2017 GMT
The media are reporting that Hate Preacher Abu Izzadeen was the attacker in todays brutal spate of killings which left five dead in Westminster, London today. However, one small problem reports are now coming in that Abu Izzadeen is in fact still in prison:
The attacker, who drove a vehicle across Westminster Bridge, killing at least two people, before stabbing a police officer to death outside the Houses of Parliament earlier today, has been named by top journalists as Abu Izzadeen.
Abu Izzadeen, whose birth name was Trevor Brooks, was reportedly shot by police after the attack and later died of his injuries. He is a well-known high-profile British Islamic extremist.

Donald Trump has remarked on Londons Mayor, Sadiq khan’s response to the attack:

Problem – Reaction – Solution
Terror attacks should not be a part of everyday living in a big city, but general public acceptance of such things does seem to be what ‘they’ are pushing for. By the public accepting that they are always at risk of being involved in some deadly terror attack and thus remaining in a perpetual state of fear, they are far more likely to accept more protection and more security in the form of less privacy and less freedom.
It is also more likely that the public will be more accepting to Government proposals on foreign military interventions in Syria and other nations.
Genuine spontaneous attack or not, this will be used for Governmental gain.

It was only a matter of time before another terrorist attack occurred in the UK, it has been imminent according to Scotland Yard for some time.
As usual, the facts are a little foggy at the moment, but we are sure they’ll find the passport and ISIS flag shortly, probably in the offenders back pocket.
Here is what we are being told so far according to The Telegraph:
At least two people have died after a knifeman brought terror to the heart of Westminster, mowing down pedestrians then stabbing a policeman before being shot by armed officers.
Witnesses described scenes of terror as the attacker was shot several times as he approached a second officer within yards of the Houses of Parliament.
Paramedics fought to save his life and that of one of his victims on the floor of the cobbled courtyard in front of Parliament with Foreign Office minister Tobias Ellwood among those who rushed to help.
At least one woman was killed as the attacker drove a grey Hyundai i40 across Westminster Bridge before crashing it into railings then running through the gates of the Palace of Westminster.
At least one of the people being treated in the palace courtyard was wheeled away on a stretcher with their face covered.
A number of others have been hurt – including some with “catastrophic” injuries. At least three police officers are reported to be among the injured.
We’ll keep this page updated with the latest news surrounding this latest attack.

Religious insanity is a serious threat to all of us. It is tragic that people kill and die due to misconceptions about religious dictates and “faith”. It behooves religious leaders in those muslim countries to correct these misconceptions before more lives are lose.
That’s if you believe this is real. What if this is a false flag designed to manipulate the public into supporting new wars in Muslim countries, such as Syria. Governments are on par with or worse than perverted radical religions and have done these things since the beginning of time. But lets not simplify things. Is this region, is this government? No. It’s human nature. There’s always humans and groups who are going to be manipulated or want to do these things, regardless of what they represent, weather that’s religion, a corporation, a government or even loners. It’s like a… Read more »
