A knifeman has gone on the rampage in central London and stabbed to death a woman in her 60s and injured five more people in a potential terror attack.
Police were called to Russell Square at 10.30pm last night after the 'dark-skinned' suspect, 19, possibly of African descent, chased and stabbed pedestrians in the back, side and arms who were left 'screaming and covered in blood' on the pavement.
He was arrested after armed officers Tasered him to the ground and he is now under police guard in hospital. A woman was pronounced dead at the scene and two women and three men were taken to hospital. Three have since been discharged.

purr4mance: probably just some nutcase who found an excuse (radical islam) to carry out a deranged fantasy circling his mind.
Or perhaps islam could be the driving force behind the deranged fantasy? Stop apologizing for them dude. It is not clear whether it is islam or not at this stage, but since you have started the apologist rhetoric, here goes. You do no justice to the victims or society at large by simply hiding the truth. Believe me, you are not doing any good by hiding facts. You are not preventing panic, you are not promoting peace, or anything positive. You are rather creating a conducive atmosphere for such elements to carry on, and letting other people live in a delusion which would end only when they are killed, or have their entire freedom taken away and your beloved sharia imposed.

The mainstream is the mother of all extremes. Don't you think that Islam's high number of frustrated losers has something to do with Islam's clannishness and tendency to subsist?
If you're born a muslim your chances in life are instantly diminished and your desires repressed by your family and the narrow horizons of your own community - not for the minority bourgeois who live like whites, but for the majority of prole muslims it is. Don't you think this has something to do with it?

And they're only partially free when it's the bourgeois. Even the middle class muslim has many opportunities and lifestyles closed off to him and suffers from the general lack of self-confidence which afflicts so many muslims(especially the women).

I've never known a group of people with the confidence inequality of the muslim community. They have the most super alphas and the most omega males with few beta males of middling confidence. And this is important because if you like civilisation then you have beta male fathers to thank. It really is the kingpin and the peasant in the muslim community.

rebel2: I appreciate that this may be a really radical idea and not easy for some to come to terms with, but shall we wait until we know the facts?
Islamic terrorism is occurring often enough to be expected, and that says it all. It doesn't matter when you come across the exception to the rule, this doesn't change the rule in any way.

I guess if one is expecting and wanting it, it will appear, like a vision.
Murder rates in England and Wales in 2015 are nearly 2 per day. I would suggest that the Vast Majority of these had nothing to do with Islamic Terrorism.
Murdered victim is now known to be an American
Police have stated that the perpetrator is a Norwegian citizen of Somalian descent. No evidence of Radicalisation.

Their kingpin and the peasant situation makes our White Liberal and the Wrong Kind of White People look positively egalitarian by comparison. The liberals maybe attracted to the golden chosen ones with the miserable wretches beneath style of society, but we're not as inegalitarian as Muslims. Not yet at least.
