As many of us have expected, the perpetrator of the stabbing terror attack in London’s Golders Green was not an out of control Methodist. He is, as we all knew he would be, a Muslim. We knew that as soon as we saw the initial footage on social media of this bastard. He is yet another of the ‘Allah ak bar-barians’ that have been imported to our shores and which have been allowed to fester, often at public expense, radicalise and kill people in the name of his reading of the ideology of Islam. Not all Muslims in Britain are like this character, far from it, there’s many who are just as horrified at this savage bastard as the rest of us are, but it’s foolish to ignore the reality that there are cultural and religious currents in Islamic communities that are fully behind the idea of killing Jews or who are bitterly opposed to the West and Western values.

This man was said by police giving a statement following the Golders Green stabbing terror, to be a person with a violent record and with mental illness, in other words the usual record for those who are recruited into acts of jihad by radicals. Such people are the ideal footsoldiers for jihadi groups who want to cause terror and chaos by the easiest means possible and in a manner that doesn’t point the finger at the higher ups in terrorist groups. The mad and the bad among the Muslims get convinced that they only do their deity’s will by going out a killing some Jews or stabbing a police officer or doing some other heinous act. However there’s also the possibility that this particular bearded savage is not connected to any organised group and instead as self radicalised via various extremist Islamic publications.

It is certainly worrying that this man is not a recent arrival but someone who has lived here since he was a child. This suggests that he wasn’t radicalised before he arrived here but was radicalised in the UK. This raises the questions about who, how and why he became so radicalised?

The attacker has been arrested on suspicion of two attempted murders but we will, as is the usual procedure in the UK, not know his name until he is formally charged. If he’s a full on madman, which he could well be, then there’s going to have to be some mental health team involvement before he can be questioned and before he can be charged. The police will not wish to leave any procedural holes in their case by their handling of the suspect which might be exploited by lawyers somewhere down the line, so they might hold back on charging until they can do so. Also as this man was injured in what I believe was the justifiably violent manner of his apprehension this might also delay when this man can be interviewed or charged.

I understand that one group fighting Jew hatred in the UK, the Campaign Against Antisemitism has managed to uncover some background information about the suspect that they have gained from their own sources. This might tell us a whole lot more about this person. However the Campaign Against Antisemitism are withholding this information until the man is formally named and charged which is understandable. We might find out much more about this man and his motivations and the circle he may have moved in from both the Campaign Against Antisemitism’s dossier and from any subsequent criminal trial.

Attacks like these by radicalised individual Muslims are not going to go away anytime soon. I believe that they may spread both in geography and in scope from beyond the big cities and the Jewish community of Britain to everyone and everywhere. We are entering a dangerous time so no matter who you are take care. Remember the police can only ordinarily turn up and pick up the pieces after a terror attack and might not be able to intercept terrorists before they act, therefore all of us Jew and non-Jew, man and woman, young and old need to keep our eyes open for trouble and assist others and the police in stopping these terror attacks from happening and assisting those who are being attacked.
