married father-of-two and a Moroccan-Libyan 30-year-old can now be revealed as two of the London Bridge terrorists who murdered seven people in the capital city massacre. The killer in an Arsenal shirt can today be named as British extremist Khuram Butt who was filmed unfurling an ISIS flag on national TV and was reported to the police twice but still managed to launch murder on Britain's streets. Butt, 27, a married father of two nicknamed 'Abz' who was born in Pakistan, was so extreme he called fellow Muslims without beards non-believers, would not speak to women directly and was banned...

There was no NATO when the U.S. stormed the beaches of Normandy to free France, defeat Hitler's Nazi Germany and win World War II. And the U.S. did it while fighting the Japanese Empire on a second front throughout the islands of the Pacific Ocean onto Okinawa and Japan, winning that war too.

Police numbers, including the number of armed police officers have fallen sharply under Theresa May's watch, first as Home Secretary between 2010 and 2016 and then as Prime Minister.

The only way to protect Poland from terrorist attacks is by not allowing Islamic migrants into the country, Polish European Parliament deputy Ryszard Czarnecki has said. His comments follow an attack in London on Saturday which killed ten, including three suspects, and injured at least 48 others. Czarnecki, who hails from Poland’s conservative Law and Justice (PiS) party, said terrorist attacks were often carried out by children of “Islamic migrants” – many of them citizens of European countries – who were trained by the so-called Islamic State. “Other countries have led to a situation in which those trained on Islamic...

A gunman who took a woman hostage and is suspected of killing another man called up a TV newsroom during the siege to claim: 'This is for IS, this is for al-Qaeda'. 'Severe gunfire' rang out inside 'The Buckingham' serviced apartments on Bay Street, in the affluent east Melbourne suburb of Brighton, shortly after 6pm on Monday. The hostage situation came to an end when the gunman stepped out of a hotel room and fired on officers, injuring three, before himself being killed in the exchange. But moments before police shot the man dead, he called Channel 7's newsroom to...

In 2016, Prime Minister David Cameron was widely criticized in the UK when he claimed that London mayor Sadiq Khan had ties to the terror group ISIS. An investigation by Disobedient Media has determined that Khan has ties not just to organizations associated with ISIS, but also groups such as Hamas, Al-Nusra, Al-Qaeda and the Muslim Brotherhood. During his time as mayor, London has seen an increase in terror incidents with concerning indications that terror groups wish to stage a major attack on the City of London. Rather than focusing on combatting terror, Khan has used his forum to tell...

British officials eye burka ban and stripping citizenship London terror attack: British officials eye burka ban and stripping citizenship --------------------------------------------------------- British Prime Minister Theresa May, speaking Sunday after a meeting of the government’s COBRA emergency committee, claimed there was “too much tolerance” of Islamist extremism in the U.K. and insisted that the country’s counterterrorism strategy would be reviewed. While such reviews remain in preliminary stages, a British intelligence source told Fox News that it is an “all hands at the pump” approach, with Joint Intelligence Operations to be carried out collaboratively with M15, Scotland Yard and the Army’s Special Air...

Two weeks ago, in the wake of the Manchester bombing, I mistweeted and it cost me. Everyone knows what I said and I’m not going to repeat it here. The wording was horrible. Loaded with unintended meaning. Quickly deleted, amended to make clear, and apologised for live on TV and radio. I have no excuses. And I take full accountability — disasters, triumphs, I must treat them just the same. In truth, I woke up to the news of the terror attack in Manchester on our young girls and I saw red. As a mum, I felt fear. And I...

The first reports of “an incident” in London emerged Saturday evening. Within hours, cable news channels were saturated with the all-too-familiar loop of panicked faces, desperate crowds scurrying for safety and scowling, heavily armed police. On Sunday morning, the New York Times said the latest terrorist attack in London had targeted a nation “still reeling” from a suicide bombing in Manchester last month. On Sunday, some Londoners started pushing back against the notion that their city — if not their country — was trembling in fear. They had a simple message: “London is not reeling.” This twisted attempt to...

MSNBC anchor Thomas Roberts theorized on Sunday that President Trump is trying to provoke a terrorist attack on U.S. soil in order to “prove himself right” about Islamic terrorism. Roberts floated the theory during two separate interviews, one with Atlanta mayor Kasim Reed and another with former Vermont Gov. Howard Dean. Roberts pointed to Trump’s tweets early Sunday in the wake of a terrorist attack that left at least seven dead in London. Trump wrote that “we must stop being politically correct and get down to the business of security for our people.” He also criticized London’s mayor, Sadiq Khan,...

After these latest London attacks Tommy Robinson sounds off.

WARNING! RedneckoBlogger opines! The Real Threats and Blame vs The Liberal Abstract Threats and Blame Media and Liberal/Leftists are in apoplexy at President Trump’s withdrawal from the Paris Climate pact (just the latest in their constant hysteria and perpetual outrage). This shows those of us who actually use our brains, that our "progressive betters" do indeed occupy an alternate universe from real working folks… President Trump’s strongest base! Liberals ALWAYS proclaim and sell fear of the ABSTRACT (like global warming), while NEVER recognizing and often denying the fear of the REAL (terror). If you fear the real threat of an...

Donald Trump has criticized London mayor Sadiq Khan just hours after a terror attack in the city on Saturday night left at least seven people dead and 48 injured. The president took to Twitter early on Sunday morning to criticize Khan for telling residents of his city that there is 'no reason to be alarmed' after three terrorists ran over a crowd of people and stabbed several others before being shot dead. But Khan's remarks had been taken out of context: The mayor, who had condemned the attack as 'barbaric' and 'cowardly' had told Londoners there was 'no reason to...

A new ICM poll has discovered two out of three Muslims in Britain would not give the government any information if they knew details about a terror plot. These disturbing poll results seem to indicate the government’s counter-terrorism program, named Prevent, is unlikely to provide much usable information on active threats, if it passes along any information at all, The Express reports. The results also suggest the existence of a society deep inside Britain that is fundamentally opposed to its values and will actively subvert the government to protect its own members. Further questions in the survey revealed, even more,...
