It's speculation plain and simple, but I don't see why so many people are clutching straws hoping for dear life it was someone other than a Muslim Extremist.

I am not hoping for anything but the well being of the victims. Those people are just as hurt no matter the religion involved. I have merely pointed out that we had plenty of this grandstanding about who committed the Quebec terrorist attack.

Plenty of people seem to want to pin the blame on muslims before the facts come out. I am unsure why they are so desperate to do so. They may be right or they may be wrong. I just prefer to deal with facts. How many people have we had stating or hinting that it was a Muslim so far? I am rather suspicious of their motivations and to why they can't wait till the facts come out to make these statements.

I honestly could not agree more.

They will take the time to pixilate faces of security forces because they would be taken to court but not victims.

Get over yourself mate.

Feck off. You're using a terrorist attack to score points in an argument that's in your head.

And don't call me mate.

Clearly of Asian/Middle Eastern descent.
I assume you're still going to tell me its nothing to do with Islam?

No such reluctance in commiting to the fact that it was a male. Perhaps this person identifies as female but chooses to look like a male.

Shame on us for assuming this was a man based on eyewitness accounts. Very un-PC of us.

How many incidents are we dealing with here?

1) Shooting at Westminster Palace
2) Driver mowing down pedestrians on Westminster Bridge?

Or are they the same incident?

Same incident. One guy, drove the car through pedestrians, crashed into the railings, jumped out and ran into westminster, stabbed a police officer and was shot.

They're not actively looking for any other attackers, the security measures are purely precuationary.

Stabbed an UNARMED police officer.

Unbelievable . People dead, others fighting for their lives and God knows what else is going on and yet
discussion here is just turning into point scoring. Give it a rest!

All one and the same AFAIK.

Attacker went over Westminster Bridge (mowing down people) and carried on to Houses of Parliament and tried to crash through railings/barriers.

If this was the 80's it would be assumed to be Irish. What's the point of isle speculation?

And most likely that assumption would be correct.

Sky said earlier that he mowed down the people and proceeded to Parliment crashing the SUV.
One incident if that is the case.
Maybe that has changed,

Most likely they are. But is it the same person or a coordinated group, I think we don't know yet?
