Totally peaceful religion, AMIRITE?
Two men wielding a machete and a cleaver hacked a man believed to be a soldier to death on a busy London street Wednesday while yelling "Allahu Akbar," in an attack that was caught on video and left the nation shocked and horrified.
The victim, who some reports said may have been a soldier, was killed at the scene, and the attackers waited at the scene until police arrived and shot both. One attacker, his hands soaked in blood and still holding a machete, delivered an angry jihadist screed as stunned passersby watched, the dead man lying on the street, in the southeast London neighborhood of Woolwich.
"We swear by almighty Allah we will never stop fighting you. The only reason we have done this is because Muslims are dying every day," he said in a video clip that was shown on the ITV website. "This British soldier is an eye for an eye, a tooth for a tooth.
"I apologize that women have had to witness this today, but in our land our women have to see the same," the killer continued. "You people will never be safe. Remove your government, they don't care about you."
Witnesses said the attackers shouted "Allahu Akbar," Arabic for "God is Great," during the bloody rampage, according to the BBC.
Police said two attackers were shot by authorities and taken to separate London hospitals to be treated for their injuries. Live television images of the scene showed a trail of blood on the pavement, cordoned-off streets and crime scene investigators marking the scene as witnesses recounted the harrowing attack.
"These two guys were crazed. They were just animals," one witness, identified as James, told LBC radio. "They dragged him from the pavement and dumped his body in the middle of the road and left his body there."
British Prime Minister David Cameron, who cut short a visit to Paris, condemned the killing as "truly shocking," and said there are "strong indications" that the attack was terror-related. He asked Home Secretary Theresa May to call an urgent meeting of the government's emergency committee.
"Britain has suffered terrorist attacks before, terrorist attacks from the IRA, terrorist attacks from Islamic extremists," Cameron said. "We have suffered these attacks before and we have always beaten them back."
Both French President Francois Hollande and MP Nick Raynsford told the BBC the dead man had been a soldier.
Scotland Yard said officers responded to reports of the assault, which took place just a few blocks from a the Royal Artillery Barracks. The barracks -- which house a number of the King's Troop Royal Horse Artillery and independent companies of the Grenadier and Coldstream Guards -- were the site of shooting events during the 2012 London Olympics.
The Muslim Council of Britain condemned the attack.
"This is a truly barbaric act that has no basis in Islam and we condemn this unreservedly," the group said in a statement. "Our thoughts are with the victim and his family. We understand the victim is a serving member of the Armed Forces."
Totally peaceful religion, AMIRITE?
Anyone still not getting it?
Way to slice through all the PC crap.
Reprehensible, but not exclusive to Islam.
But we will still see those who still don't get it, amazing. What will it take before..."it appears Islam has a problem with violence"...?

We still see that some are quite ignorant concerning matters of history, and some believe that the books they have read are the only books that have ever existed.
Really? Show us the story where people from any other modern day religion runs around hacking people to death in the middle of a street while literally saying that they're doing this in the name of their religion.
Reprehensible, and exclusive to Islam.
The ignorant will always be blind. It's up to the rest of the World to do something about it.
Killing over cartoons? Suicide bombings? Public beheadings? Death to sexuals? Honor killings? How many terrorist groups? Street hackings in the name of their God?
Now who do we think of?
I agree.
The Sergeant's Affair during the Jewish insurgency in the Palestine Mandate fits the bill well enough -- but we like those guys now, so it can't count, right?
I guess we can parse everything down to the very specifics of the violent acts if we want. It's just a bit boring. Terror is terror -- but even that definition has been parsed.
LMAO! Did you really just have to go back 60 years to find/think of a story like this that didn't involve Islam? Holy .

According to senior Whitehall sources the people carrying out the attack were heard to say: "Allahu Akbar [God is Great]", BBC political editor Nick Robinson reported.
Ingrid Loyau-Kennett confronted the alleged killer (Picture: Twitter)
News of the arrests came as a cub scout leader revealed she had confronted the attackers and urged them to put down their weapons.
Ingrid Loyau-Kennett warned them: ‘It is only you versus many people, you are going to lose.’
Speaking to the Daily Telegraph, the 48-year-old mother of two also said one of the attackers had told her: ‘We want to start a war in London tonight.’
people living on islands have bad tempers in general, violence is written in their genes. the most infamous thieves & serial killers in british history had nothing to do with Islam
So what do you want to do about Islam?
Shut it down?
Treating it the same way we treated Communism is a great first step. Take the appropriate steps needed to ensure that modern day Islam and it's ignorance stops spreading, and at least attempt to contain it to the Middle East.
First thing we do is cool the denial. How obvious does it have to get there is something wrong with that primitive seventh century way of thinking. Boston Bombings...Muslims, London street hacking ...Muslims. Most the terrorist activity over the last 20 years...Muslims. Killing over cartoons....Muslims.
Time to stop playing silly games and start dealing with reality. Yes, no more mosques, make it very obvious this is not a Muslim country and never will be so be cool.
