After Westminster Jihad Attack, Britain Vows to Defend 'Tolerance'
There's going to be nothing to defend too much longer.
See Robert Spencer, at FrontPage Magazine, "Jihadi Attack in London, U.K. Vows to Defend 'Tolerance'."
Melanie Phillips, Londonistan
The suicide bombings carried out in London in 2005 by British Muslims revealed an enormous fifth column of Islamist terrorists and their sympathizers. Under the noses of British intelligence, London has become the European hub for the promotion, recruitment and financing of Islamic terror and extremism - so much so that it has been mockingly dubbed Londonistan. In this ground-breaking book Melanie Phillips pieces together the story of how Londonistan developed as a result of the collapse of traditional English identity and accommodation of a particularly virulent form of multiculturalism. Londonistan has become a country within the country and not only threatens Britain but its special relationship with the U.S. as well.

Five Dead, Dozens Injured in Westminster Jihad Attack at British Parliament (VIDEO)
Following-up from earlier, "Shots Fired Outside British Parliament."
At the Guardian U.K., "Parliament attack: police officer among five dead in 'sick and depraved' incident":
The Guardian understands the initial working theories of the police investigation are the attacker was inspired by Isis and was most likely a “lone actor”. The attacker’s identity was already known to counter-terrorism officials. Rowley said investigators were trying to establish the attacker’s associates and his preparations for the attack.Apparently, "police refuse to name" the suspect, and that's apparently after a number of outlets identified the wrong person.
See also Pamela's, "U.K. news outlets WITHDRAW claim that Abu Izzadeen was London jihad murderer."

We'll see if it was a vehicle jihad attack, but it's best not to speculate until more information becomes available.

Wow! Thanks to the Reader Who Bought the NordicTrack T 6.5 S Treadmill!
That doesn't happen too often.
So, I want to thank the reader who picked up the NordicTrack T 6.5 S Treadmill, costing almost as much as the bunk bed, and which will bring an almost $32.00 commission --- enough to pay for the average book purchase I make on Amazon.
Thanks again!
And remember, readers can support this blog at no extra cost to themselves. I've always got a few Amazon links at the sidebar, and of course I've been posting book links like crazy for the past few months.
