If this was in the states I wouldn't jump to conclusions so easily but being in Britain the smart money is on Arabic terrorist. The IRA isn't that active anymore.

Mass stabbing and running pedestrians down in a vehicle wasn't the IRA's M.O., either.

I wouldn't be surprised if it were just some one-off lunatic or a hardcore nationalist type, but the odds are a lot higher in Britain than in the States that it is Islamic. At least they appeared to be a lot better prepared to handle it than their brethren on the Continent.

Also, not to be pedantic, odds are a lot higher that, if it is Islamic, the person is Pakistani or Indian Muslim than Arab.
