Will the government release the identity of the attacker? If not it’s a sign he’s a Muslim Islamist. Knife attacks have gone way up in the UK. The great majority of the attacks are committed by Muslims. Their ‘religion’ blatantly and repeatedly declares that attacks against the infidel are justified.
Lee Rigby-“say his name”, was the canary in our coal mine.
