A radicalized British-born Muslim attacks people on or near Westminster Bridge in London, killing three of them and being himself killed by police.
According to at least one of my readers, this confirms the need for much more extensive vetting of refugees, if not outright barring them from entry, and demonstrates that Muslims in general pose a serious threat to all Americans.
I quote from one article about the tragic incident:
Labour Party lawmaker Khalid Mahmood, who represents part of Birmingham, condemned the “barbaric attack” and urged his fellow Muslims to report concerns about radicalization to the police.
“We have to condemn this outright,” he said. “There are no ifs or buts. This is a hugely tragic incident. These people do not belong to any faith. They certainly don’t belong to my faith of Islam.”
Mahmood said the attacker and those like him “should be condemned by everybody and this shouldn’t serve as a tool for division within our community.”
And here’s an article about the response of London’s Lord Mayor, Sadiq Khan, to the attack:
It’s simply crazy to suggest that all Muslims — which, by definition, would include that member of Parliament as well as the Muslim mayor of London itself — pose an existential threat to Britons, Americans, and the West generally.
There are roughly three million Muslims in the United Kingdom. What percentage of them committed yesterday’s attack? Do the math.
