London Terrorist Runs Over Crowd Of Muslims

IN THE PAST DAY, LONDON WAS ONCE AGAIN THE TARGET OF A
TERROR ATTACK --
>>FROM WHAT I HAVE READ, THESE PEOPLE HAD LEFT THE MIDNIGHT
PRAYER AT THIS MOSQUE, HAD WALKED VERY CLOSE TO THE MOSQUE,
AND HAD FOUND AN ELDERLY MAN WHO HAD COLLAPSED FOR SOME
HEALTH-RELATED REASON AND WERE AIDING HIM WHEN THEY WERE HIT BY
THIS MONSTER WITH HIS VAN.
SO EVEN WORSE, AND ONE DID AND UP
DYING --
>>AND I HAVE READ THAT THE IMAM AT THAT MOSQUE --
>>I'M SURE THEY DIDN'T APPRECIATE THAT AT THE TIME BUT
THAT'S OF COURSE THE RIGHT THING TO DO IN THAT CASE --
>>THERE WAS INITIALLY -- AND THIS IS ONE SMALL ASPECT, OF THE
SEA THE TRAGEDY IS THE DEATH AND THE INJURIES -- BUT IN THE
INITIAL REPORTS THAT ANOTHER VAN HAD RAMMED INTO SOMEONE, AND IN
FACT IN THE PAST DAY SOMEONE ALSO RAN THEIR CAR INTO A POLICE
OFFICER'S VEHICLE IN PARIS, AGAIN THANK FULLY ONLY THE
DRIVER WAS KILLED -- THERE WAS SOME INITIAL INTEREST IN THIS
ATTACK AND VERY QUICKLY PEOPLE MOVED ON AND DIDN'T REALLY CARE
TOO MUCH.
I NOTICED THAT ON FOX NEWS AND BREITBART, THE
TERRORIST CENTRAL WEBSITES, THEY DON'T CARE ANYMORE.
I DIDN'T SEE
ANYTHING FROM DONALD FROM ABOUT THIS, DESPITE THE FACT THAT THEY
WERE INTERESTED WHEN THERE WAS LAST A TERROR ATTACK,
GRANTED THAT WAS DAYS AGO, ONCE IT TURNED OUT THAT THIS
GAVE TARGETED MUSLIMS RATHER THAN BEING A MUSLIM,
SUDDENLY THERE WAS A LITTLE LESS INTEREST.
>>THAT'S SURPRISING TO JUST ABOUT NOBODY.
I THINK THIS IMAM
SHOULD SET THE EXAMPLE FOR EVERYBODY.
THERE WERE PEOPLE
TRYING TO KICK AND PUNCH THIS DRIVER, WHO IT TURNS OUT IS A
WELSH FATHER OF FOUR.
>>WHO IS ALLEGED TO HAVE SHOUTED HE WANTS TO KILL ALL MUSLIMS
AT THE SCENE, WE NEVER KNOW FOR SURE WITH THESE REPORTS.
>>AND IN THE VAN AFTERWARDS HE WAS BLOWING KISSES TO PEOPLE.
SOME OF THE EARLY REPORTS I SAW -- USUALLY AFTER THESE YOU SAY I
CAN'T BELIEVE JOHN DID THIS, HE WAS ALWAYS A QUIET --
>>YOU COULD'VE USED SOME OTHER NAME, BUT --
>>I COULD HAVE.
MARK.
BUT THE PEOPLE I SAW TALKING ABOUT HIM
SAY, IT'S LIKE HIM.
IT'S NOT SURPRISING.
THAT'S JUST
ANECDOTAL, BUT REALLY UNDERSCORING ALL OF THIS IS THE
STORY OF THIS IMAM, WHO IS JUST LIKE MOST PEOPLE WITHIN HIS
RELIGION, SAYING GET AWAY, STOP BEING BRUTAL TO THIS GUY.
WE
WILL ARREST HIM -- PROTECTED THIS GUY, AND THAT WILL BE HIS
LAST MEMORY OF A NIGHT THAT WILL CHANGE HIS LIFE, TALKING ABOUT
THE KILLER, IS THAT THIS IMAM PROTECTED AND SAVED HIS LIFE.
>>IT SEEMS LIKE EVERYTHING RIGHT IN THAT STORY WAS ASSOCIATED
WITH THAT IMAM.
AND HONESTLY WITH THE COOLHEADED NEIGHBOR OF
LONDON, IT'S A REAL EXAMPLE AS WE LOOK AT OUR LEADERSHIP AND
SEE EVERYTHING POLITICIZED AND DIVIDED, HE'S HAVING TO RIDE
HERD OVER A CITY THAT IS BRINGING TOGETHER A LOT OF
DIFFERENT ETHNICITIES BUT IS ALSO THE FOCUS OF TERRORISM, AND
IT'S A LOT OF ONE-OFF TERRORISM.
A LOT OF COPYCAT TERRORISM, ALL
THE SORT OF THING.
SO HIS JOB IS A TOUGH ONE, AND IT'S NO SMALL
FOOTNOTE THAT HE HIMSELF IS MUSLIM, TO PERHAPS BE THE
RIGHT GUY AT THIS TIME FOR THAT CITY.
>>HE'S UNDER A LOT OF, I WOULD SAY, SCRUTINY TOO BECAUSE OF THE
FIRE THAT JUST HAPPEN THERE SEPARATE FROM THE SHOOTINGS,
IT'S A TERRIBLE TIME TO BE MAYOR OF LONDON, BUT AS YOU SAID MAYBE
A GOOD TIME TO HAVE A MUSLIM MAYOR.
BUT THE FIRE IS AN
ENTIRELY DIFFERENT THING HE'S TAKING HEAT FOR.
>>THANKFULLY SO FAR IN THE WAKE OF THIS TERROR ATTACK DONALD
TRUMP HAS NOT ATTACKED HIM ON TWITTER, BUT WE WILL SEE.
THERESA MAY, PRIME MINISTER OF THE U.K., SAID --
>>THAT SENTIMENT WAS ECHOED BY THE DEPUTY DIRECTOR OF THE
INTERNATIONAL CENTER FOR THE STUDY OF RADICALIZATION, WHO
SAID --
>>THAT'S THE THING, THEY ARE JUST LOOKING TO GET PEOPLE WHO
ARE FANS OF THEM TO ATTACK PEOPLE, THEY WANT THEIR OWN
PEOPLE, THEY WANT MUSLIMS IN THE WEST, TO FEEL LIKE THEY HAVE NO
PLACE IN SOCIETY.
THEY WANT THEM TO FEEL LIKE THE ONLY PLACE THEY
CAN TURN IS TO SOME SORT OF RADICALIZATION.
AND IT DOESN'T
HURT THEIR MISSION WHEN PEOPLE ON THE OTHER SIDE FEEL LIKE,
WELL, THEY KILLED SOME OF OURS, WE WILL KILL SOME OF THEM.
WHICH
IS APPARENTLY WHAT WE ARE SEEING IN THIS CASE.
JOHN OLIVER HAD A
GREAT RESPONSE TO I BELIEVE THE MANCHESTER BOMBING -- IT MIGHT
HAVE BEEN THE STABBING, ACTUALLY -- TALKING ABOUT THE RESILIENCY
OF THE BRITISH PEOPLE IN THE FACE OF THIS, BUT THIS HAS BEEN
A ROUGH SET OF WEEKS FOR THOSE IN THE U.K.,
ESPECIALLY THOSE IN THE AREA OF LONDON, WHERE IT FEELS THAT
YOU CAN'T GO A COUPLE OF DAYS WITHOUT SOMETHING LIKE THIS.
>>THEY WERE TALKING ABOUT QUEEN ELIZABETH, WHO, WITH HER
GRANDSON AND ONE OF HER SONS, WAS VISITING SOME OF THE VICTIMS
FROM MANCHESTER, TO THE TOWER FIRE, TO THE STABBING, AND HOW
PEOPLE HAVEN'T FELT THIS WAY, OR OLDER BRITONS HAVEN'T FELT THIS
WAY, SINCE THE WAR.
WHEN THE MONARCH WOULD GO FROM PLACE TO
PLACE DURING THE WAR, IT WAS EDWARD THEN, BUT IT'S AMAZING
WHEN YOU THINK ABOUT THAT.
WHEN YOU THINK ABOUT THE FACT THAT
THERE IS SOMEBODY --
THAT THINGS ARE HAPPENING ALMOST ON A WEEKLY BASIS.
>>THERE IS A SENSE OF OUR MOST A SIEGE MENTALITY THERE.
AND
TERRORISM IS ONE OF THOSE THINGS THAT KEEPS THE PUBLIC ON EDGE,
AND I THINK JOHN CORRECTLY IDENTIFIES THAT THEY WANT THAT
ANXIETY, THEY WANT THE MUSLIM COMMUNITY TO FEEL AS THOUGH THEY
HAVE TO HANG TOGETHER, ASSIMILATING WITH THIS
HETEROGENEOUS COMMUNITY OF LONDON ISN'T WHAT WE WANT.
THAT'S WHAT I THINK IS SO SPECIAL ABOUT LONDON, I THINK
THEY DO HAVE SORT OF AN INTEGRATED COMMUNITY, PEOPLE
FEEL VERY COMFORTABLE HISTORICALLY WITH DIFFERENT
FAITHS, AND SORT OF THE CROSS POLLINATION OF THESE RELIGIONS.
IN A SENSE LONDON WILL BE A TOUGH NOT TO CRACK IF THEY ARE
TRYING TO DIVIDE THESE COMMITTEES.
>>IT'S EASY TO SEE IN THE SHORT SPAN OF TIME THESE INCIDENTS,
WHICH ARE TRAGIC, AND THINK THAT THEY MUST BE MAKING HEADWAY, BUT
IT'S INCREDIBLY LIKELY THAT THEY ARE NOT.
AS YOU SAID, THIS IS
NOT SOME NEW THING WHERE YOU HAVE DIVERSITY IN LONDON.
THAT'S
THE HISTORIC STATE OF LONDON.
AND I AGREE, I THINK THEY WILL
HAVE VERY HARD TIMES ADVANCING THEIR MISSION IN THE
PARTICULAR WAY THEY WANT.
