A young man believed to be British soldier has been beheaded in a barbaric attack by two men on a street outside Woolwich army barracks in South East London. In the shocking scene, one of the killers addressed witnesses saying, “you will never be safe.”
In broad daylight two men in their mid-20s used their car to run down a man dressed in a military uniform and then they attacked him with knives, killing him and apparently trying to behead him while shouting “God is greatest” in Arabic, according to witnesses.
“They were hacking at this poor guy,” an eyewitness said. “They were chopping him, cutting him. These two guys were crazed. They were just animals.”
Shocking footage recorded by witnesses during the carnage and made public by ITV shows a man holding a meat cleaver with blood on his hands using jihadist rhetoric to justify the violence.
“We swear by almighty Allah we will never stop fighting you,” the attacker said, with the body of the victim lying just yards away. “The only reason we have done this is because Muslims are dying every day.” A local Muslim spoke to reporters on condition of anonymity and said “This has nothing to do with Islam. it’s heartbreaking, it’s heartbreaking.” Rather, he wished it had nothing to do with his religion, but in point of fact it does and the attackers made that quite clear.
“This British soldier is an eye for an eye, a tooth for a tooth,” the attacker added, apparently referring to British military efforts in Afghanistan.
Witness… “We thought the two guys were helping him. We then saw two kitchen knives like you would find in a butchers shop, they were hacking at this poor guy literally. We thought they were trying to remove organs or something. One of the black guys then shouted to me and my partner to get in the car. I then moved the car down the road and dialed 999.”
Witness continued, “…there was no way a human could take what they did to him. They then dragged the dead man into the middle of the road and then stood on the pavement waving the gun about, as if they were proud of what they had done.” And indeed they were proud as they shouted praises to Allah. The wanted passers by to take their pictures and they waited near the headless corpse for the police to arrive. When they did, they attacked, no doubt hoping to be martyred. Both men were subdued, one was shot and remains hospitalized in fair condition. The other was stunned and is in police custody.
Not much is known about the attackers, however one is believed to be a jihadist, possibly from Nigeria. The attacker shown in the pictures spoke with a British accent. British police are checking on the pistol they possessed. Few details are known about it. However, the police think it was probably obtained illegally British residents were disarmed in the early 1950’s. The UK’s actual gun control laws began in the mid-1920’s by requiring a license to own a firearm. This eventually led to confiscation. The British homicide rate remains largely unchanged despite the complete ban on firearms, although in the last two years there was a decline of about 14% for no explainable reason.
Ah-h-h-h yes. The religion of peace.
One has to wonder why any leaders of that faith do not condemn attacks on innocents and barbarism of this sort in the name of their “religion.”
Excellent point!
What, no nauseating, condescending upbraid from my favorite mealy-mouthed progressive twit for posting this story?
Islam, the religion of peace…of the grave.

Pie…lol, that’s good! The best humor is rooted in truth.
There is a point made in this article, which I feel is poignant:
Getting word of the attack in Paris, Britain’s Prime Minister, David Cameron cut short his visit with French President François Hollande to return to London.
“There are strong indications that it is a terrorist incident,” Cameron said.
compare that to Obama’s action of just hopping on a plane that morning to raise money for his re-election champaign while we lost four American lives just hours prior to the same violent mindset!
WAKE UP AMERICA
Wake up indeed!
“In the shocking scene, one of the killers addressed witnesses saying, “you will never be safe.”
Well, we’re safe from them. They’re both dead.
But what really is a shame … is that everyone who was, in the heat of the moment, moved to record the heathens, did not, coming to their senses, delete said recordings.
Bloody shame, that. But maybe we’ll learn.
That video was evidence of a crime. You can’t destroy evidence, well, maybe you would, but I wouldn’t and it’s technically illegal to do so, but there is also your moral responsibility. As for selling said video to the news media, that’s immoral and ignorant.
Libby, you said, “Well, we’re safe from them. They’re both dead.” Only they’re not dead, where did you hear that? They were shot in the legs. Since their arrest two more have been arrested for conspiracy.
You exist outside of everything…floating above the mayhem in that smug, superior, elitist self-appointed position of all knowing authority.
“The reasoning of the extremist authority figures within the religion is that there will always be another faithful dupe who will go out into the streets of the west to do our bidding. Their own people are expendable weapon to explode and exploit. They make sure they also preach impregnation of women so that the “army” is constantly replenished. Hence, “You will never be safe”.
The President indicated yesterday in a 45 minute speech that the war on terror is over. There are only these few onesy twosy guys left. headlines across the world would indicate he’s lying through his teeth:

Blood is what they want Libby…maybe someday you will learn.
“That video was evidence of a crime. You can’t destroy evidence, ….”
Off to the dictionary with you. Today’s lesson: rationalize.
“You exist outside of everything…floating above the mayhem in that smug, ….”
How the hell can I help it? If someone does something heinous for the sake of publicity … aren’t you complicit if you publicize it? This is not brain surgery, this.
If Western Civilization truly is comprised of morons, people who do what terrorists tell them to … people who return Michelle Bachmann to the Congress … then it’s all up.
