Yeah, it's obviously terrorism given the stabbings.

Call it for what it is. Some posters here would have no problem calling out White Terrorism, so call out Islamic terrorism. Stop beating around the bush.

Frankly, one "side" is doing it more. That can't be disputed.

Except this is not Islamic terrorism. We don't know even know who is responsible yet. Given past events, it may be ISIS related, which would be part of an extremist faction completely unrepresentative of Islam.

Well, it's probably Islamic terrorism, but people made the mistake of assuming the Oklahoma City Bombing was.

Maybe arrest of radical mullahs and ending of support for radical islamists in Syria can help?

No, Castro is correct. That doesn't scuttle the fact that these incidents keep happening, and that they are coming from a certain segment of the population. But the religion itself isn't to blame, nor are the overwhelming majority of its followers. That is no canard.

Saudi Arabia is a huge problem, they are spending money to build mosques and bring in radical Imams to turn the local Muslim communities into Wahabbists. I have been warning people for years of this, they attempted it at my mosque but the committee thank god refused to bring in the saudi schooled one.

Just like the radicals WANT the non-Muslims to turn against the Muslims to bring about a global war between Muslims and non-Muslims.

Would you call, let's say, the LRA representative of Christianity? We can argue about the scale, but I can't possibly subscribe to this line of thinking.

The timeline seems to suggest two separate attacks. One on the bridge, followed by stabbings nearby, and the second incident in Vauxhall.
