1 man beheaded in London 2 shot *Live feed*

[quote]A man has died and two are injured after police responded to a reported machete attack in south-east London. The government is reported to be treating the attack as a suspected terrorist incident and the prime minister said it was "truly shocking". Eyewitnesses said a man was assaulted in a Woolwich street by two individuals who were later shot by officers. Local MP Nick Raynsford said the dead man was a soldier at Woolwich barracks but this has not been confirmed. People carrying out the attack were heard to say Allahu Akbar [God is Great] were heard, said our political editor. One witness, identified only as James, said two men had attacked another man, aged about 20, who was wearing a T-shirt of military charity Help for Heroes. "These two guys were crazed. They were just animals. They dragged him from the pavement and dumped his body in the middle of the road and left his body there," he told LBC radio. He said after the "horrendous" attack, the two men, who were also in their 20s, stood around, waving knives and a gun, and asked people to take pictures of them "as if they wanted to be on TV or something".

  • I have to ask, how would the various Islamic communities react if a random Christian decided they would flip out one day and behead someone in the street. Or blow themselves up in a crowded market. or any of it? And don't bring up military occupation. The two aren't comparable. Soldiers don't just flip out and behead people (not Brits at least) So, if my brother and I were to immigrate to Pakistan, and in the name of Christianity we behead some poor sod in the street, how would the Muslim world react? Now, why can't the West do the same?
