UPDATED: London terrorist identified as Muslim. Sorry, suckers!

Notice is hereby given to those who took Walt's bet, at 100-1 odds, that the terrorist who killed two and injured three others on London Bridge yesterday would not be a British-born white Christian (or Jew): YOU LOSE. Sorry (NOT). Walt's lifetime pct .977.

Late yesterday, Inspector Knacker of the Yard [in reality, Metropolitan Police Chief Dick... really. Ed.] said the attacker was Usman Khan, a 28-year-old who was released on probation last year after serving six years for terrorism offences.

Mr Khan is not related to London Mayor Sadiq Khan, a peaceful, moderate Muslim. UPDATE ADDED at 0830. He is now identified as "British". His family is from Pakistan-controlled Kashmir. He was convicted in 2012 of terrorism offences and released in December 2018 "on licence," which means he had to meet certain conditions or face reincarceration [not reincarnation. Ed.] The other Mr Khan -- the mayor -- says now that there should be an investigation regarding his -- the terrorist's -- early release from prison.

Several British media outlets reported that he was wearing an electronic ankle bracelet. Basu said Khan was attending a London event hosted by Learning Together -- a Cambridge-based organization that works to educate prisoners -- when he launched the attack, killing a man and a woman and injuring three others.

None of the (((controlled media))) which Walt has checked so far have mentioned the religion or ethnicity of the late Usman Khan. Although his attack on innocent passers-by was quickly labelled "an act of terrorism", the word "Islamic" has yet to appear. Nor has anyone called Mr Khan a Muslim, even though that's what he was. Some of the lamestream media have not even shown his picture, although it has been available on Wikipedia since his 2012 conviction. No need to stoke the fires of Islamophobia, right?

Walt will refrain from saying "Told ya so!" But... those who have eyes to see, let them see. And remember, the truth is not "out there". It's here!

Footnote: Thanks to the anonymous reader who told us that the term used by Dutch police to describe the copycat (?) who wounded three people in yesterday's attack in the Grote Marktstraat of The Hague is "licht vertint", meaning slightly tinted. The attacker is still at large.

UPDATED: Allahu akbar! in London... now The Hague too!

Just when you thought it was safe to go outside again! After months of relative quiet, London has once again experienced the result of allowing hundreds of thousands of Muslim migrants to settle in one's country. Parts of central London are on lockdown, and Inspector Knacker of the Yard has declared an "isolated incident" on London Bridge this afternoon (GMT) a terror attack. Of course the authorities haven't used words like "Muslim" or "Islamist", but here's what we know so far.

A "person" started attacking people walking along London Bridge with a knife, before being shot by police on the north side of the bridge. Footage circulating on social media showed members of the public detaining the suspect and taking possession of a knife. Police confirmed that "a number of people have been stabbed."

The head of UK counter-terrorism policing told the meeja, "At approximately 2 PM today, police were called to a stabbing at a premises near London Bridge. Emergency services attended including officers from the City of London Police and Metropolitan Police. A male suspect was shot by specialist armed officers from City of London police and I can confirm that this suspect died at the scene." He added added that police "believe a device [apparently a suicide vest] that was strapped to the body of the suspect is a hoax explosive device."

Prime Minister Boris Johnson, Interior Minister "My Good Mrs" Patel and London Mayor Sadiq Khan all expressed concern and said they were being updated on developments. "We must — and we will — stay resolute in our determination to stand strong and united in the face of terror," said Mayor Khan. "Those who seek to attack us and divide us will never succeed." Mr Khan is a peaceful, moderate Muslim -- not the sort who would wage jihad on those who do not follow the Prophet.

No word yet as to the identity of the attacker, let alone his nationality, ethnicity or religious beliefs, or what he may have shouted just before he was sent to Paradise, where he's now being serviced by 72 virgins. Those who wish to bet that he was a British-born white Christian (or Jew) are invited to send their money by PayPal to the usual address. I'll pay 100 to 1 if that turns out to be the case.

UPDATE added at 1120: Word just in that two people have died from wounds inflicted by the attacker. Still no word on the perp's identity etc etc.

FURTHER UPDATE added at 1225: This just in on the Mojo wire: Dutch police said this afternoon (local time) that three people had been wounded in a stabbing on a shopping street in The Hague. Inspektor Klompen said they were seeking a man aged 45 to 50, and described him using a Dutch term often applied to people of North African descent. [Would anyone who speaks Dutch and can tell us the term please contact me. Ed.] Sounds like a jihadi copycat to me. Does that make me an Islamophobe?

"Stop Islamisation!" banner unfurled on London bridge

"Raise high the banner!" Now there's a catchy exhortation for you. Not new, but catchy. It could serve as a slogan for the Identitarian Movement (see "Further reading", below), which made its presence known in London this morning. Anti-Islamization activists unveiled a large banner on Westminster Bridge, so their message -- "Defend London - Stop Islamisation" -- faces directly into Westminster, the mother of all parliaments.

Here's a closer look. The movement's name and logo are seen beside "Defend London Stop Islamisation". ["Islamisation" is the British spelling of what we call "Islamization". Ed.] Displaying it prominently in the heart of Not-so-great Britan is the latest in a series of Identitarian demonstrations in cities across Europe, calling attention to the group's anti-immigration cause.

A statement posted to social media immediately after the action explained the symbolism of the location. "On 22 March 2017, a terrorist attack took place on Westminster Bridge. The Islamist inspired attack killed 5 people and injured more than 50. London Mayor, Sadiq Khan, believes that the threat of terror attacks are 'part and parcel of living in a big city'. On the contrary, we think that the source of Islamisation lies in mass immigration, which must be stopped."

Who killed Captain Humayun Khan?

You've seen the videos. The Democrats found a righteous Pakistani-American, Khizr Khan, to make a very righteous speech to their convention, attacking Donald Trump for his "anti-Muslim" views and speeches. Flanked by his wife, Ghazala, Mr. Khan said they had made a great sacrifice for their adopted country, in that their son, US Army Captain Humayun Khan, was killed in 2004 by a car bomb while on duty in Iraq.

Why it took Mr and Mrs Khan 12 years to voice their grief and outrage publicly was not explained. Nor did the Gold Star parents have anything to say about US foreign policy, which led to their son's presence in the armpit of the world. Nor did they talk about the likelihood that, if elected, Hellery Clinton would change that policy, possibly because the chances of that change are slim and none.

Nooooo... The way Mr Khan talked, you'd think it was somehow Mr Trump's fault that their son died 12 years earlier. Mr Trump wants to discriminate against "Muslim-Americans", he said. He added that discrimination on the basis of religion is prohibited by the American Constitution, and wondered aloud if Mr Trump had even read the Constitution. If not, he said, he would gladly lend his copy for the candidate's perusal.

Mr Trump understandably felt insulted, and launched his own counter-attack, which has been roundly condemned by the lamestream media, the Prez, the Democratic presidential wannabe, and several Republicans, notably Senator John McCain. How, they ask, could Mr Trump show such disrespect to the family of a "Muslim-American hero"? Presumably they keep calling him "Muslim-American" to distinguish his from the thousands of "Catholic-Americans", "Jewish-Americans", "Baptist-Americans" etc who died needlessly getting into the middle of what is really a Muslim civil war.

And that -- as Mr Trump finally said this afternoon -- is the real point. Capt. Khan died in Iraq, and he died in the line of duty, right enough. But, Walt asks, who killed him? Could it have been some fellow Muslims? Errr... could be!
