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
Fair enough, obviously I wouldn't be surprised
I just think it's sad to see people hoping this was committed by any particular brand of terrorism, whether it's Islamic or right wing loonies, just so it'll fit their belief system.

The fact that the UK puts the threat of Islamic terror at the same threat level as IRA violence is laughable.
I don't know much about the IRA, but doing a simple google search it seems like the last time there was an IRA attack was in August of 2001. Is the IRA even active now?

No one is hoping anything, it's just common sense deduction. If someone robs your house do you assume it's the lifetime criminal down the road or the little old lady next door?

Not per se. Some splinter groups that mostly do very little. Think modern KKK or American radical right organizations (not in ideology, in active threat).
If you look at an incident list, you'll see mostly "guy stabbed outside of pub in West Belfast" or "man attacked by suspected republican sympathizers in _____." Largely very small scale stuff.

The IRA/KKK comparison is very on point as far as actual threat these days.

Maybe you aren't, but there are people that hope every single incident of violence is committed by a Muslim or someone that looks like they could be Muslim.

It's not hoping, it's applying critical thought based on trends and statistics.
They have to deal with these types
In such quantities that they elected a Muzzie mayor, and you think people are rooting for the inevitable to happen?
Have you not been paying attention to the invasion of Europe by radical Islam?

I just want people to face facts and not stick their head in the sand for the sole purpose of being PC. Say it with me.... The vast majority of terroristic acts are committed by Muslims.
Hell even Bill Maher called out Ben Affleck on his bullshite virtue signaling.

Same. Regurgitated punch lines over and over again just get tiresome. It's mostly the product of people wanting to be involved in conversations they don't want to bother to learn about on their own. So they just repeat the same dumb mantras for every incident.

It was pretty funny the first time or two.

Almost looks like there is a bicyclist pinned between the car and the fence.

Not in America. They're usually white, but you are correct that because this was in Britain it probably was a Muslim(s) responsible.
But there is a difference between a normal person and someone like cajunangelle

Open the borders without screening immediately!!!!!!!!

The whole using vehicles to just mow people down worries me more than terrorist with bombs or guns. It's just so damn easy and can happen in a instant.

Eh, most of the large scale notable attacks are committed by Muslims. The list of white terror incidents usually includes "two people who posted on a racist message board killed a cop" or "sovereign citizen shoots guy."
