Community tensions rise as police investigate London soldier murder

Published

http://www.euronews.com/ Flowers have been laid at the scene where a British soldier was killed near the Woolwich army barracks in south east London.

Police are still trying to establish what happened on Wednesday afternoon.

Witnesses say two men used a car to run down the victim whom they then attacked with knives and a machete shouting “Allahu Akbar- God is Great.”

Around twenty minutes later a police armed response unit arrived and shot the men but not before one of the suspects was filmed by a passer-by justifying his actions.

The killing sparked a terror alert with suspicions raised that this was a possible jihadist attack.

One of the alleged killers is reportedly 28-year-old Michael Adebolajo – British but of Nigerian descent.

Muslim leaders in the UK have strongly condemned the attack declaring it was not carried out in the name of Islam.

Many fear a backlash against Britain’s Muslim community raising the spectre of more Islamophobia.

Muslim Political commentator, Mohammed Ansar, said: “What we have seen is a ratcheting up of tensions, we have seen hysteria about Muslims and Islam, fear and hatred and xenophobia against foreigners and immigrants and, in that political caldron, these kind of sparks can cause real, real damage and that is the danger, that communities do not turn on themselves.”

But as police investigate whether the killing was part of a terrorist plot or carried out by so-called ‘lone wolves’, there have already been two attacks on mosques in the south east of England. The British National Party has issued anti-immigration statements and last night members of the far right English Defence League (EDL)clashed with police.

“Enough’s enough. Our message is – enough’s enough, ” said EDL leader Tommy Robinson.

“We have weak leaders, weak police. Our police, our leaders tiptoe around this issue. This issue is political Islam. It’s political Islam that’s spreading across this country.”

    Typical white supremacist reply, just deflect from the truth and pretend, as if that will solve this REAL problem created by the global white elites. It's time for the white masses to face up to the lies that have been used to indoctrinate them for decades if not centuries. It is the only way we will achieve harmony, peace and happiness on this slavery and prison planet. For your own white leaders have condemned you, you to blind or dishonest to see it. Peace.

    This is the reaction to the way Muslims treat non-believers. There are over 108 commands to kill non-believers in the Quran. These are open ended commands with no historical references or dates so they are as relevant now as they were when they were first written. The Bible is not written in this way. Yet the Bible is for sure a problem on this planet and not defending it.. however Islam has been a cancer on this planet – just watch the news and see for yourselves

    You should care about if people get treated shitty too, not just because its morally wrong, but also it is the vulnerable position of many migrants which allows job agencies to rip them off, and employers (incl. foreign ones) to treat them like they'd never get away with against a brit.

    This makes immigrants more employable than English, and also drags down English peeps wages so in turn affects some of us too, yet why turn on the people who're only doing what you'd do in their position?

    you no mention colour aye, but culture… how many people come here with different culture who are white? not many. n you want people to come here and all act like English? Of course if they break laws and act like bastards they should be punished as we should, but things like the 'life in the uk' test and stuff are a waste of time and just a way for the gov to make more ££.

    only provide for the rich?

    oh right that must be why i can earn another 2.5k before tax than when labour was in power?

    stop with the color thing, it has NO relevance

    labour put the country in this situation, torys are taking the flak for trying to fix it.

    labour go against torys one week, next week they say exactly the same. They u turn to what they think people want to hear.

    stop bringing race into it, it has NO relevance

    i dont care about the ones that want to work, its the ones that dont i care about. And if people treat them shit, whatever, thats there problem with there employer and has 0 relevance to what i said.

    i know people get pregnant even when they cant support themselves, i hate that aswell.

    you keep saying white and black asif its a color thing, i have not mentioned color once. Your getting off subject yet again.

    your trying to tell me things i already know and are nothing to do with what i said

    most immigrants actually want to work. and they work hard. where i live its only brown people you see on the bus at 5.30 a.m. they often get treated extra shitty too. of course there's some who take the piss, just like theres some white english too getting pregant even though tey can't support themselves, and all that and who can blame them when prospects are so shite.
    also remember the west has shafted a lot of coutnries where immigrants come from. milked their resoucres and all sorts

    blair was in the paper sounding impressed about the people on the street of Egypt. When the masses were on the street in this country against his bullshit war did he listen? did he fuck.

    you cant tell me what my tolerance has or hasnt been as you dont know me….

    I hate all religion,it has no place in the world anymore. only reason i never said anything about christians is as this is a video about muslims. dont try and be smart

    i blame the benefit system on labour (but i especially hate it going to foreigns that dont want to work). I can blame people for taking advantage, i was out of work for 2 years and didnt go on benefits because getting to live for free is wrong.

  18. @wyrda222

    April 26, 2024 at 3:16 pm

    like Christianity got a real clean sheet

  19. @wyrda222

    April 26, 2024 at 3:16 pm

    i bet a grand you were never tolerant! so some nut jobs go we should all wear burkas, like that might be abouta hand ful of religious dickheads. you think there's not the same amount of christian nut jobs?

    if you want someone to blame for the benefits system being easy to cheat you should look at the politicians. you can't blame anyone for taking advantage, if you could do it you would an there's enough english doing same anyhow.

    "Never show any respect to head scarfed women" you are joking yeah? should i diss people wearing star of david or crucifix too? have you really got nothing better to worry about in life?!

    n wasn't it tony fking blur who really pushed forward things for bullshit faith schools, whilst also being the prick dragging us into another american crusade and thus giving reason for hatred and terror?

  21. @wyrda222

    April 26, 2024 at 3:16 pm

    you talk like there's some star wars like war going on, yet despite religion and race most people just wanna get on with their life, it's only when there's injustice and bullshit like what the governments pull that people turn on each other. all this hate serves governments perfectly to keep us all fighting over nothing.

    People don't understand, that Islam makes 5% of England population, and look at the problems that Brits have with a 5% minority Muslims, imagine when they become 20-30% I bet any money, ANY money that you will see a violence in Britain like no other, YOU think war of the roses are bad? pffft, when Muslims started to head to the majority, there's no human being in the world that could save you, because the rest of Europe would be heading in that direction to. act now England, or you are fucked.
