Incident outside parliament in london - developing now

It is being treated as a terrorist event.. Until we know better, essentially... I guess the guy is not saying much, and as such they cannot confirm it.
Usually terrorists are pretty quick to claim their "event" is for a cause to gain maximum exposure for said cause. Saying nothing leads me to believe he is just a nutter who did a terrible thing with no real affiliation.
 
Their aims were a free and united Ireland. Not subjugation of the world through Catholicism.
ISIS: Want to create a sovereign Islamic state, conduct insurgency against the militaries of countries who oppose them because they're no match for those countries militaries and blow up women and children to instill terror in their people.
IRA: Want to create a sovereign Catholic state, conduct insurgency against the militaries of countries who oppose them because they're no match for those countries militaries and blow up women and children to instill terror in their people.
 
No reference of him advertising Alan's Snackbar before impact either. I dunno. In cases like this it's obviously beneficial to treat as guilty until proven innocent.

ISIS: Want to create a state based purely on religion that they believe was promised to them at some point in the past. Is a million miles away.
IRA: Believe UK government are occupying their historical land (kinda true tbh). Don't base their state purely on religion.
 
I'm not thinking anything until I have evidence. You know, facts.

I understand Scotland Yard's approach and I do suspect it's terrorism but is it Islamic? Who knows. Could just be a nutter who was inspired by the Q400 theft.

What other groups drive cars into people en masse. One fed up british guy vs the dozens of militant islamic attacks on the UK soil. Maybe its a comeback of the IRA with the black irish leading the fray this time.

You clearly don't know very much about the NI conflict if you think the IRA's main aims were solely to set up some sort of theocratic catholic state. The troubles in NI had very little to do with actual religion.

Stop posting drivel, if you want to jump to conclusions by all means go ahead, but I'll stick with logic and reason thanks.
 
it is seriously annoying that terrorists blow up civilians willy-nilly but every time someone tries to wipe out a bunch of politicians they make a total fail of it.
 
lol I just saw the footage for the first time, certainly looks deliberate - but looks like a serious megafail on the part of the terrorist..

Can only be thankful that to be dumb enough to want to do something like this you have to be.... well, dumb and therefore more likely to fail or not cause as much damage as someone with a brain in their head might cause. Most of the time :(

What drivel?

That islam is the main drive behind the terrorism in the UK over the last 20 years?

Thats not an opinion buddy, thats a fact. But by all means, bury your head in the sand.

20,000 extremists in the UK - thats a low ball figure if ever I heard one.

7/7
Parsons Green
Manchester bombing
Westminster bridge
London bridge

Etc
etc
etc

Lets not even get into the continents problems with Islam and the attacks on the native people.

Its not racist to call out Islam for the backwards belief system it is, due to mainly the fact it is a religion.

I agree with you 100%, but until this is 100% certain to be religion related, I'm not jumping to that conclusion.
