More than ten pedestrians were hit by a white van driver who veered onto a pavement near a renowned north London mosque, in what is being described as a 'terrorist attack'.
Several people were reportedly hurt after the van ploughed into a crowd outside Finsbury Park Mosque, where hate cleric Abu Hamza once preached, as they finished Ramadan evening prayers called taraweeh.
Eyewitnesses reported seeing bystanders wrestle the suspect to the floor and pin him down until officers arrived.

Terrible that these things keep happening and that cars are the weapon du jour.
I find it quite interesting when its a white person, the media goes out of its way to highlight it. This story is breaking and they're already including it in most headlings.
Any non-white suspect they'll defer mentioning or passing judgement as long as they can, but a white person? BOY OH BOY LOOKEE HERE WHAT DO WE GOT!
I'm sure we'll hear about this from the apologists for the next 3 months as an example of how the terrorism is on both sides, ala Timothy McVeigh.

No no, the van was white, you see. It's just very detailed reporting.

Is it a "white" guy?
I would believe it is as well but no where have i seen this said for sure.
I know it was a white van that did the damage, but havent read a thing about the suspect other than those who werent hit wrestled the guy to the ground and held him til police arrived.
actually just saw this...

Huh? We always hear about the suspects' race and religion in these things. Every single time. As soon as they know who it is they put it out there.
Media outlets are climbing over each other to learn that kind of information and get it out. That's their job. Whoever gets it first "wins".
There's no dark conspiracy to blame white people.

Who are you pointing fingers at here? Every politician in London has said this sort of terror attack is equally damaging to the British way of life as attacks by Islamic extremists against Western targets. I think in your rush to be the smart guy you've missed some key information.

You're correct; that's more of a US/Canada thing though we'll see how the American media spins it this morning.
I did notice the Daily Mail put "terrorist" in quotations however in their headline.

It's almost as if spreading hate and ignorance about the entire Muslim community in the aftermath of terror attacks gives ISIS exactly what they want.
If only there was some way to stop giving one of the most prominent terrorist groups exactly what they want. If only.

I thought it sounded like a hate crime when this guy rammed a truck into a group of innocent people outside of a mosque. So far it is one dead and ten wounded and the police there are investigating it as an act of terrorism.

Police declared it a terrorist attack within minutes. Very different than the usual "until we investigate the attackers motives" line.
