I think, # Woolwich Attack in Southeast London is scarier than a horror movie: two men hit and stabbed a policeman with a dagger, near the police headquarters, in a broad daylight, witnessed by many people. and once stabbed, one of them with bloodyhands and still holding two machetes, faces the camera and makes a short strong statements and interacts with pedestrians.later on, police come and shoot down those two people. now, they are in separate hospitals .http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6mgFH_SZEBk At first, i do think it is a pure criminal act.
But, if it is a scene for a movie, it looks "unusual": the killer is very calm, facing to a very ready and steady and HD Cam, as if he wants to get caught and noticed. and suddenly an old lady walks so slowly passing him by. I don't know, perhaps I am wrong.
From the video, i do not hear anything about Islam. But some news underlines that the killler shout "Allahuakbar". Surely most of Islamic organization condemn this terror act. Here's the official statement The Muslim Council of Britain on Woolwich Attack:
"This is a truly barbaric act that has no basis in Islam and we condemn this unreservedly. Our thoughts are with the victim and his family. We understand the victim is a serving member of the armed forces. Muslims have long served in this country’s armed forces, proudly and with honour. This attack on a member of the armed forces is dishonourable, and no cause justifies this murder.
This action will no doubt heighten tensions on the streets of the United Kingdom. We call on all our communities, Muslim and non-Muslim, to come together in solidarity to ensure the forces of hatred do not prevail. It is important we allow our police authorities to do their job without speculation. We also urge the utmost vigilance and ask the police authorities to calm tensions."
But that doesn't seem to stop the prejudice and stereotyping people toward Muslims.
Mosques in Kent and Essex were attacked :((
