Guilty verdicts in ISIS plot cops say could have been 'the deadliest terrorist attack in UK history'

Sahih Muslim 2922 (narrated by Abu Huraira):
"The last hour would not come unless the Muslims will fight against the Jews and the Muslims would kill them until the Jews would hide themselves behind a stone or a tree and a stone or a tree would say: Muslim, or the servant of Allah, there is a Jew behind me; come and kill him; but the tree Gharqad would not say, for it is the tree of the Jews."

Three men just got slapped with guilty verdicts for what could have been the deadliest Islamic terror attack on UK soil, an ISIS-inspired plot to gun down as many Jews as possible in Manchester.

Walid Saadaoui, 38, and Amar Hussein, 52, were convicted at Preston Crown Court of prepping a marauding firearms assault on Jewish targets. Saadaoui's brother, Bilel, 36, got nailed for failing to spill the beans on the scheme and nobody is going to catch him at a local bar mitzvah anytime soon.

These jihadist clowns were dead set on replicating the 2015 Paris massacre, admiring ISIS thug Abdeslam Abaaoud. Saadaoui even bragged to an undercover cop about wanting to slaughter "young, old, women, elderly, the whole lot," calling Christian victims "a bonus." This is equal opportunity hatred by a trio of losers who are simply following specific scripture.

Prosecutors laid it out: Saadaoui [aka Wally Vowels] forked over a deposit for four AK-47s, two pistols, and ammo, funded by selling his house and business. They scoped out Dover ports thinking they were surveilling weapon smuggling routes.

Greater Manchester Police's Assistant Chief Constable Rob Potts  said of this nightmare that it "could have become the deadliest terrorist attack in U.K. history," with "catastrophic" fallout on crowded Jewish sites.

The plot got busted in May 2024 when Saadaoui was nabbed mid-handover in an undercover sting. MI5 apparently linked him to a British ISIS recruit from way back.

Prosecutor Harpreet Sandhu KC told the jury this wasn't some innocent outing: the plan "hardly had the innocence of a teddy bear picnic." These anal sphincter breaths were out for Jewish blood.

Manchester's no stranger to Islamist terror: The 2017 Arena bombing killed 22, the deadliest since 7/7. And just recently, a Yom Kippur attack outside a synagogue left two Jewish men dead. This foiled rampage zeroed in on north Manchester's heavy Jewish areas, cranking up the alarm over jihadists repeatedly targeting the same community.

No wonder British Jews are fed up. 

A December 2025 Campaign Against Antisemitism poll shows 51% don't see a long-term future in the UK, 61% have thought about bailing in the last two years, and 96% say Jews are less safe post-October 7, 2023. Fifty-nine percent hide Jewish symbols in public out of fear. Trust in cops and courts is abysmal, with only 14% believing police protect Jews enough, and even lower for prosecutors and judges.

In a sane world, this would wake everyone up to the resurgent ISIS threat and the exploding anti-Semitism that's making Europe a nightmare for Jews again. But let's be real: the usual suspects will probably downplay the Islamist angle while lecturing about "Islamophobia." Pathetic. 

Good on UK counter-terror for shutting this down before bodies hit the ground.

BREAKING: Anti-Semitic Attack in Manchester, UK--Jihadi Gets His Goats-- UPDATES

UPDATE: in addition to the two Jewish worshippers who were killed, four others are in very serious condition. 

UPDATE: We have learned the name of the attacker is 35-year-old Jihad al Shami. Two men and a woman in her 60s were also arrested in connection with the synagogue attack. He was a Syrian British national.

Several hours ago as of this writing, (9:31 a.m. local time) an anti-Semite in Manchester, England went on a stabbing spree at a Synagogue. At least 4 Jewish people were injured, according to authorities, but it appears the injuries are quite serious. 

The Mayor of Manchester, Andy Burnham, initially announced the attack and response.

At 9:38 am the alleged terrorist was shot and apparently killed--a fast response. 

This is the loser who attacked and was neutralized

People (yes, we Jews are people) are being treated at the scene.

It is believed that the idiot attacker arrived at the scene in an automobile and had a bomb. Currently the bomb disposal has arrived at the scene but this is an ongoing, developing situation. It is also believed the attacker may have an explosive device on his fat person.

Of course, this situation happened today, the start of Yom Kippur, the holiest day on the Jewish calendar. 

The same people who go around calling to "globalize the antifada" have put out a statement: 

You see, if you call for a holy war against the Jews, don't be surprised when attacks take place.

Part of the congregation who saw the carnage

PM Kier Starmer wrote: "I'm appalled by the attack at a synagogue in Crumpsall. The fact that this has taken place on Yom Kippur, the holiest day in the Jewish calendar, makes it all the more horrific. My thoughts are with the loved ones of all those affected, and my thanks go to the emergency services and all the first responders.

Starmer was in Copenhagen, Denmark at the time is is on his way back to the UK. 

As I write this, two people have been confirmed dead.

There is supposed to be a mass protest against Jewish people who have the audacity of being Jewish but it isn't known if those a-holes plan to carry out the protest.

Daughter of Red Sox great allegedly dumps baby in woods, faces charges

Dennis Eckersley's adopted daughter has been charged with allegedly dumping her newborn in New Hampshire woods in 18-degree weather, and has been hit with additional charges. [H/T NY Post] 

Alexandra Eckersley, 26, was initially charged with felony reckless conduct and endangering the welfare of a child. She now faces several counts of second-degree assault with extreme indifference as well as falsifying physical evidence.

Ms. Eckersley learned of the new charges at her phone arraignment Tuesday as she has been hospitalized after giving birth in a tent in the woods around 1:00 a.m. Monday, according to Manchester police. They found the exposed baby, who was struggling to breathe, near the Piscataquong River, officials said.

According to an affidavit cited by WCVB, Eckersley told police she did not know she was pregnant and admitted to using cocaine and marijuana in the days before the baby’s birth. The cocaine was evidently running all around her brain.

She also allegedly lied to police about the baby’s whereabouts and said she had given birth prematurely.

Alexandra Eckersley's humble abode

During the arraignment, prosecutors said the baby boy, who weighs just 4 pounds, was taken to Dartmouth-Hitchcock Medical Center in Hanover, where he was intubated.

On Monday, Manchester police Chief Allen Aldenberg said the baby boy was improving, WCVB reported.

“There’s no excuse for this,” Aldenberg said.

“If you choose to live in the woods and choose to live your life a particular way, and you don’t want accept our outreach that goes every day in this city — and you want to live out there and do that with your life — fine,” he said.

“But you don’t get to do this, what we’re alleging here. You don’t get to do this to a child,” Aldenberg added.

And you don't get to throw the baby away as if it was garbage, like pro-abortionists advocate for.

Prosecutors said Eckersley’s mother, Nancy, told authorities that she and Dennis offered their homeless daughter drug treatment for years, but that she refused, WCVB reported.

“They had an open offer for her to come home on the condition that she go to treatment for drug use, and she obviously made the choice not to,” Assistant Hillsborough County Attorney Carl Olson reportedly said.

Judge Diane Nicolosi said Eckersley could be released on $3,000 cash bail, on the condition that she has no contact with the child or anyone under the age of 18.

Planned Parenthood might be interested in hiring her in the future if she can get clean and sober.

Justin Bieber Concert Attacker: Guilty

A 17-year-old UK cretin was convicted of preparing a terrorist attack in Cardiff, the capital of Wales using the ISIS-inspired car attack method.

The teen, whose name can't be released due to his age, wrote a letter detailing his plans to ram a car through crowds and then attack emergency services attending to the victims on the same day as the Justin Bieber concert, the Independent reported.

Fortunately, the idiot put it all in writing:

"I am a soldier of the Islamic State and I have attacked Cardiff today because your government keep on bombing targets in Syria and Iraq," the handwritten letter said. "There will be more attacks in the future."

Not by him.

He was arrested with a concealed gutting knife and claw hammer. His letter contained bullet points lest he forget what he was going to do, reading "run down the non-believers with a car" and "strike the infidels, who oppose Allah, in the neck."

The letter blathered on: 

"In the name of Allah, may terrorism greet your country. May there be more bomb and vehicle attacks with Allah's permission."

Can I get a big 'Inshallah'?

The kid is nuts, but he is no different than other Islamic extremists.

Authorities said possible targets included the Bieber concert, a shopping district (Castle Quarter), New Theatre, which is a prime venue for children's shows, and the Capitol Shopping Centre at the Central Library.

In May 2017, a suicide bombing in Manchester at an Ariana Grande concert (she's the woman who licked the donut and put it back in the rack in a coffee shop) by Salman Abedi, a 22-year-old Muslim. The attack killed 23 and wounded 512. Abedi's bomb was packed with shrapnel for maximum casualties.

Where's Walid: London Mayor Khan has no clue where 400 jihadis are in London

The first Muslim Mayor of London Sadiq Khan has claimed that his city is "the safest global city in the world." He feels this way because unlike Manchester, where 22 innocent people were murdered by Islamic terrorists, London only had 8 people murdered last week by Islamic terrorists.

Sadly, these terrorists had all kinds of red flags waving under the noses of authorities. One of the jihadis even made an appearance on a British documentary called The Jihadis Next Door, about real jihadis. 

Not one member of the film crew had the guts to do voice concern.

Khan spoke with Piers Morgan on Good Morning Britain, and was asked about the 400 jihadis and their whereabouts, regarding the safety of London, aka, "the safest global city in the world."

Khan, in typical political fashion didn't answer the question but gave a totally irrelevant bumbling response.

Piers asked Khan what London was doing about the 400 jihadis reported to have taken up arms, fought for ISIS, then came back to London.

"I can't follow 400 people," Khan said, and then made excuses about police budget cuts.

"What could be a bigger priority than people coming back from a Syrian battlefield with intent to harm British citizens?" Morgan asked. "Why is not that the number one priority? Why are these people just allowed to come back in the first place, and then the London mayor doesn't appear to have a clue to where any of them are? No disrespect to you, but where are they?"

Khan tried to deflect: "That's one of the questions that, obviously, police--"

"But you're the mayor!" an angry Morgan interrupted.

Just last September, the Muslim mayor stupidly said that terrorism was "part and parcel of life in a big city."

Easy for him to say. He has armed protection and doesn't need to worry about getting all 'jihadied' up.

Then the idiot mayor told Londoners theres "no reason to be alarmed" over the massive police presence following the alarming Saturday night attack in which 7 people were immediately known killed, and another just discovered floating in the Thames.

Of course, President Trump tweeted about Khan's statement, although he apparently took it out of context.

But flowers, prayers and teddy bears will not stop these religious extremists. We need to get very tough with them.

Ariana Grande returns to Manchester

I didn't like her when I first saw her in the donut shop. She was with her boyfriend at that time and stood at the counter, licked a donut on the tray above the counter, and left it there.  She also told her boyfriend, "I hate America. I hate Americans."

I really thought she sucked for the donut episode and her sentiments.

But Ariana Grande helped me change my mind. At least to some degree. 

In less than a week since an Islamic terrorist attack took place at her concert, killing 22 of her fans and injuring over 100, the pop star singer went back to Manchester to do a concert for the families who lost a loved one.

She wore ripped jeans and started out upbeat to a crowd of loving young people. They were excited and overwhelmed as she told the Manchester crowd that she loved them.


All of the monetary proceeds from the concert was slated to go to the families and the concert earned over $2 million.

Among the other singers was: Justin Bieber, Katy Perry, Coldplay, Miley Cyrus, Black Eyed Peas, and more. 

I am so glad that she had the guts to do the concert and I forgive her for all of the donuts she may have licked and that I may have inadvertently  eaten.

Ariana to share more love to fight terrorism

Doughnut-licking mega pop star Ariana Grande has decided to hold a benefit concert for Manchester attack victims on Sunday.

The American flag and American citizen hater will return to the city of Manchester to raise money for the victims of last week's deadly bombing that killed 22 people and injured over 100 at her show titled "Dangerous Woman."

Now she's calling the new show "One Love Manchester." It will be held at Old Trafford cricket ground where she will be joined by such big names as: Horatio Dellarackatackapoulisianoppoulus, Poindexter Spinnackerloonerie, and Jealiandopadred Sciantiallini.

Just kidding. 

The big names are actually Coldplay, Katy "Just Hug it Out" Perry, Justin Bieber and Pharrell Williams.

All proceeds will be slated to go to an emergency fund set up by the city of Manchester and the British Red Cross. Hopefully, the latter group will not be handing out any doughnuts at the concert.

In a statement likely written by a ghost writer, she said to her fans that "we won't let hate win" and "we won't let this divide us."

Perhaps she doesn't understand why suicide bombers blow themselves up to kill others--it has nothing to do with hate, and everything to do with wanting to get to heaven in their loser minds.

And what does it mean 'divide us'? If anything, terror brings innocent people closer together as they feel a greater sense of strength by doing so. 

Grande apologized for any pain and offered to "extend my hand and heart and everything I possibly can give to you and yours," bringing into question as to whether she would have said the same thing had the audience been American rather than British.

"Our response to this violence must be to come closer together, to help each other, to love more, to sing louder and to live more kindly and generously than we did before," the naive singer wrote.

Yes, they blow themselves up to get into heaven while we sing "Blowin' in the Wind," to show each other love. 

That'll show 'em.

If only we could arm our military with guitars.

Abedi: "Forgive me, Mommy"

Salman Abedi, 22, evidently called his mommy just hours before the attack in Manchester to say "forgive me," a Special Deterrent Force spokesman, Ahmed bin Salem reported from Libya.

Personally, I don't give a rat's, and if his mother forgave him for what he was about to do, she's no better than him.

I don't care that he even has a mother, nor do I care if he had a rough childhood. I simply don't care to try explaining why he killed 22 people and changed the lives of over 100 others. 

He is an evil loser and I would have been happy to kill him myself.

"He was giving farewell," bin Salem said. They believe he was acting alone based on what his father, told investigators.

Other terror links involving Salman's relatives were disclosed Wednesday. His father, Ramadan was a member of the  Al Qaeda-backed Libyan Islamic Fighting group in the 1990s, said former security official Abdel-Basit Haroun. Ramadan denied the claim in a taqiyya move that would make the prophet proud.

Salman's brother, Hashim, was linked to ISIS and may have been planning an attack in Tripoli. 

In other words, this terrorism thingy is a family affair.

Salman left Libya for Manchester four days prior to the bombing, his mommy said. His parents claim they had no idea that he was going to kill infidels and he fooled them into thinking he was heading off to the Hajj in Mecca to walk around the Kaaba "and meet Muslim chicks."

Instead, the scumturd went to Turkey and Germany,  apparently merely stopping in those countries for transfers and actually flew to Istanbul (which was once Constantinople) on May 18th then left for Dusseldorf, a Turkish official told the Associated Press, also saying that Abedi had previously used Istanbul as a transfer point for flights between Libya and Europe.

Evidently, the terrorist was not on an international terror watch list, so he was able to travel freely throughout Europe.

And leftists keep stopping President Trump from allowing the 90-day travel ban that which includes Libya.

Since the attack, British Transport Police announced that armed officers will patrol some UK trains for the first time beginning Thursday afternoon due to the increased threat of future attacks. Still, regular British police do not carry guns because they might be able to defend themselves and others if they did, which would level the field. 

On Wednesday, authorities raided an apartment where they believed Abedi visited before he went on his jihad--it was advertised to be an "ideal" place to stay due to its location next to the Manchester arena. 

Before he blew himself up, he had gone to the apartment at about 7:00 p.m., which was about three hours prior to the attack.

Police raced to uncover the network Abedi belonged to, and believed it clearly exists. But on Thursday, authorities reckoned he could have made the device himself as it was not as sophisticated as they first thought.

Photos of the bomb were prematurely released by The New York Times, which upset British authorities because of the disrespect it showed to the families of the victims as well as possibly alerting others in the network.

Thus far, eight people have been arrested and the terrorism threat level in Britain has been raised to "critical." Thus, another attack could be imminent. 

ISIS has claimed responsibility for the attack, but they would claim responsibility for any attack. Overall, it doesn't matter if it's ISIS, Hezbollah, Al Qaeda or Yadda Yadda. It's all about jihad, folks.

Welcome to the Ramadan Bombathon, which begins tonight in the West.

CNN is Certainly Not News, as usual

A stammering British CNN analyst (with emphasis on 'anal') Paul Cruickshank suggests that the jihad massacre might well be a "right wing false flag plot," not the work of a real Muslim. 

It seems like the establishment media will say anything to keep Islamic terrorism out of the discussion. 

An article titled "In Absurd Pivot, CNN Suggests Manchester Was Right Wing False Flag" in the Daily Caller by Amber Randall, discusses how during Anderson "Eyes to Sky" Cooper's AC360, so-called terror analyst Paul Cruickshank said that a suicide bomber was probably responsible for the explosion, BUT the whole thing could have been part of a right wing extremist plot.

Yes, and it could have been an Amish plot, or a Jewish plot to make Muslims look bad.

"It must also be noted that in recent months in Europe, there's been a number of false flag plots where right wing have been trying to blame Islamists for terrorism. We have seen that in Germany in recent weeks." 

That isn't exactly fake news; it's slanted like crazy news. But it's obvious why the media is losing more and more to other forms of news outlets. 

Maybe it's all President Trump's fault. Yeah, that's the ticket.

Manchester mayor Andy Burnham denies Islamic terrorist was a Muslim

This is what a useful idiot looks like

What is a Muslim?

It is a person who believes in the teachings of the Koran, the Islamic holy book, and that there is no god but Allah, and Mohammed is his messenger. That is what best describes a Muslim.

Salman Abedi, the Manchester terrorist who blew himself to bite-size bits in order to kill others, was described as a "devout" Muslim, a hafiz, in fact--which is someone who has completely memorized the Qur'an. 

But Manchester mayor Andy Burnham thinking he's an imam--says that Abedi was not a Muslim. 

What do you base that stupid assumption on, Andy? 

Is it because Abedi's jihad, in which he committed mass murder, was un-Islamic since Islam is a Religion of Peace? In other words, when a Muslim commits an act of violent jihad, he loses the label of Muslim because you are so afraid of being called Islamophobic that you will deny Islam is involved. Thus, Islam is always seen as good and peaceful, no matter what is committed in its name.

Useful idiots like Andy Burnham don't have to hold any responsibility or knowledge of the goals of Islam and how jihadists attempt to realize those goals.

Of course Abedi was a Muslim. Yes, he was an extremely orthodox Muslim, but a Muslim nevertheless. 

Speaking to Nick Ferrari on LBC, Burnham said, "The message that I would want to get over--and this is how the vast majority of people feel--this man was a terrorist, not a Muslim." 

The terms are not mutually exclusive, but Burnham wants us to believe they are.

He goes on: "He does not represent the Muslim community. We've got to keep that distinction in mind all the time. This was an unspeakable act."

Yes--dare not speak about it--that's the ticket.

"The worst thing that can happen is that people use this to blame an entire community, the Muslim community."

When has this ever happened? Nobody ever blames the entire Muslim community, but those of us familiar with Islam are quite clear that jihad has everything to do with Islam. 

"In my view," the useful idiot went on, "the man who committed this atrocity no more represents the Muslim community than the individual who murdered my friend Jo Cox represents the white, Christian community."

The Christian community doesn't kill people in the name of Jesus. The Muslim jihadist, not the community, kills in the name of Allah and in the name of Mohammed. 

Burn a Bible and a Qur'an and see the difference in communities.

Politicians always seem to have a way to use moral equivalency with Christians every time a Muslim commits a violent act.

The politicians are the real cowards--not the Muslim lunatics who commit these violent acts in the name of their religion.

Ariana Grande cancels her tour following Manchester suicide attack

Does Ariana Grande still stand behind her words: "I hate Americans; I hate America" ? More importantly, does she still lick donuts and put them back on the serving tray? She apologized after getting caught, but did she really mean it?

But seriously, now that she experienced an intimate terrorist event at her concert in Manchester, does she still hate the country where she has become wealthy and famous, or she is still okay with hating us, hating Trump and loving the idea of no borders?

Being an obnoxious leftist, I suspect she hasn't changed her tune. Like Katy Perry, she is insulated from terrorism and illegal alien criminal activity and can comfortably believe in open borders and call conservatives Islamophobic because she's protected from the dregs of reality. 

Take away the bodyguards of our lawmakers, and our Second Amendment would never be stronger.

Grande has now canceled several Dangerous Woman Tour dates since the Manchester bombing, which killed 22 people, one of whom was merely 8-years-old, and injured over 100 people, more than 20 of whom are in critical condition.

"Due to the tragic events in Manchester the Dangerous Woman tour with Ariana Grande has been suspended until we can further assess the situation and pay our proper respects to those lost," the America-hating star's management said in a statement. "The London O2 shows this week have been canceled as well as all shows through June 5 in Switzerland."

Basically all places with porous borders.

The statement continued, "We ask at this time that we all continue to support the city of Manchester and all those families affected by this cowardice and senseless act of violence. Our way of life has once again been threatened but we will overcome this together. Thank you."

So what's the plan to overcome this together? 

Grande arrived back in Florida Tuesday and was greeted by her current boyfriend, Mac Miller. 

It is unclear if Miller was the boyfriend who accompanied Grande into the donut shop where she said she hated Americans and America, and demonstrated it by licking the displayed donuts on the counter in 2015.

Katy Perry wants love with no walls, except in her mansion

(Photo: Breitbart)

Pop star Katy Perry provided her fans (a word derived from the word 'fanatic') with her words of wisdom regarding the Manchester massacre and how best to coexist with Islamic terrorists. In her statement, she also spoke about her thoughts on national sovereignty for the United States.

It's a good thing she can act because she sure can't think. In fact, most of the people in her position believe they're smarter than the rest of us and are more aware of world events and how to solve the miseries that befall us.

"No borders, we all just need to co-exist." 

She said that "barriers" or "borders" could detract from that goal," and added "we're just all loving on each other and we should just stay loving on each other."

Loving 'on' each other--sounds messy.

Sadly, Perry is very influential with young, impressionable minds that haven't quite fully developed. Sure, it would be wonderful if everyone loved each other. It would also be wonderful if everyone was provided with a free unicorn for personal use.

But Islamic supremacists do not and never will 'love' us, or even 'love on' us. They demand we convert, pay a war tax call jizzyah, or die. People like Perry don't often know what they're talking about, but it sounds good when their fans hear it. However, she talks about this massacre as if it was a two-sided coin.

There is nothing wrong with the idea of everybody getting along and loving each other. But, like communism, it goes against human nature and worse, it has no place in Islam. Perry needs to read the Koran to understand that jihadists want a global caliphate and will kill to get it. They will never love us, even if we try to love them.

They invented the "Islamophobia" agenda to keep people afraid to speak out in fear of being branded a racist, in spite of the fact that Islam isn't a race.

If an attack occurred at a Katy Perry concert, and if any of her coworkers were killed in the attack, I suspect she'd respond more realistically. But like the politicians who want open borders, Perry is insulated and generally out of touch with reality. She probably never experienced fear for her life and her words demonstrate this, and so too does her $19 million walled mansion. 

She is a flaming hypocrite.

Perry opposes President Trump, but in doing so, she opposes intelligent measures to protect Americans because she has nothing to worry about.

Europe is "shocked, shocked" and nothing changes

Music is forbidden in Islam--they call things that are forbidden "haram." Dancing is also haram in Islam. Having a dog as a pet is forbidden too. 

Killing? Not so much.

The 2015 attack in Paris at the Bataclan Theater was, as ISIS put it, a place "where hundreds of pagans gathered for a concert of prostitution and vice." Islamic scholars support the notion that Islam forbids "sinful" music of the West. Music is sinful because it leads to dancing and singing, which is sinful because, well, because it just is. 

Killing people who are sinful is not sinful--it has the Allah Seal of Approval and it gets you brownie points for getting into heaven to pass "Go" and collect 72 virgins.

So, with music being such a terrible thing for super religious Muslims, you can see why the Ariana Grande concert was targeted by ISIS on May 22 in Manchester. In fact, last September, U.S. Department of Homeland Security warned that concerts are being targeted by Muslim orthodox jihadists, as well as sporting events and outdoor gatherings to ensure mass casualties.

The Islamic State claimed responsibility for the Manchester suicide bombing. The bomb contained screws and bolts to increase the carnage, which killed 22 people, including children and adults and injured 59, some of whom are in critical condition.

Politicians in the EU and US expressed "shock" and "grief" at the predictable outcome of their policies which rarely affect them, but certainly leave the rest of us more vulnerable so that they can be politically correct.

"Our thoughts and hearts go out to the victims and their families," they say, while expressing shock once more.

President of the European Council Donald Tusk went to Twitter to say: "My heart is in Manchester this night. Our thoughts are with the victims." Yes, his heart may be in Manchester, but his head is up in his nether regions.

Another favorite political idiot, German Chancellor Angela Merkel said she was watching the developments in Manchester "with grief and horror" and found the attacks "incomprehensible." You see, idiots can't understand how what they're doing has an outcome such as Manchester's.

Labour Party leader Jeremy Corbin: "terrible incident."Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau said his citizens were "shocked by the news of the horrific attack in Manchester tonight."Leader of the British Liberal Democrats Tim Farron condemned the "shocking and horrific" attack.British Home Secretary Amber Rudd called it a "tragic incident."

Why are we shocked and surprised? This happens all the time now--after losing almost 3,000 souls from 9/11 in 2001, we had the 2004 Madrid train bombings, which killed almost 200 and wounded 2,000; the July 2005 London transit system attack killing 56 people and wounding 700.

More recently we had the 2015 Paris attacks where 130 innocent people were killed by ISIS and 400 were wounded. Brussels airport and metro station were attacked in March 2016 and 31 people were killed with 300 wounded; then in Nice, France, 76 adults and 10 children were killed and over 200 wounded; the December 2016 Berlin attack killed 12 and wounded 50 others; the past March in Westminster, three people were killed and over 20 were wounded; and April in Stockholm 5 were killed, including an 11-year-old girl. 

And that's only the ones that are reported, not including the attacks in Israel and in other parts of the world. 

It is pure bull for our political leaders to say they are shocked and surprised at jihadist terrorism. It's happening everywhere and regularly. 

We don't even hear about the individual attacks, like the 66-year-old Jewish woman in Paris who was tortured and stabbed by a Muslim man as he shouted "Allahu Akbar!" then tossed her out of the window to her death. 

The reason he killed her? The Koran tells Muslims to kill Jews and calls them 'apes.' He was simply following his religious convictions.

And saying that "more Muslims are killed by other Muslims" isn't going to cut it anymore. We don't care. Muslims who are killed by other Muslims are killed because the killers don't see them as legitimate Muslims, just like they see the rest of us infidels as worthy of the sword.

Is it really okay for any religion to think of itself as superior to all others and commit blasphemy regarding them?

Why is it hate speech to utter a gay or lesbian slur, but the Islamic scripture prescribes death to gays and lesbians--yet it's hate speech to burn a Koran?

After the Westminster Bridge attack in the UK, targeting the Houses of Parliament, British Prime Minister Theresa May said that "It is wrong to describe this as Islamic terrorism. It is Islamist terrorism and the perversion of a great faith."

I dare her to show us where the 'perversion' of this 'great faith' lies. It is not perversion--it is orthodoxy, and that is the real problem. 

Is it a perversion for grown men, perhaps men in their forties or older, to marry girls age nine or ten? Their prophet married Ayisha when she was six and consummated the marriage when she was nine. Islam says there is no finer example to take in life than that of Mohammed.

Islam has a big problem with itself and it must change if there's going to be peace in the world.

But of more pressing importance is that we need to get rid of politicians who refuse to put aside political correctness for the fear of being called Islamophobic. A phobia is an irrational fear. Islamophobia is, therefore, an oxymoron.

The biggest danger to the West isn't ISIS or radical Islam, per se, it is our leaders who refuse to acknowledge the clash of civilizations Islam creates. 

And all the candlelight vigils, all the flowers and teddy bears, is not going to change what their jihad intends to do--create a world caliphate where everyone worships Allah, the pagan moon god.

They have a plan; it is not a mindless violent one.

The Latest on Manchester bombing

According to CBS News, the suicide bomber at the Ariana Grande concert in Manchester, was 23-year-old, British-born Salman Abedi. He was known to British authorities and still nothing was done.

As usual, the ISIS claimed responsibility for Abedi's attack.

The horrific and cowardly attack left 22 people dead, including children, the youngest being merely 8-years-old. 

Abedi's neighbors revealed that weeks before the bombing, he was exhibiting "strange behavior," saying that he was "chanting Islamic prayers loudly in the street" outside his home in the south of the city. 

That should have been the first clue to those who were allegedly "watching" him.

ISIS claimed responsibility this morning and threatened more attacks. So what's new? They always claim responsibility and they always threaten more attacks. They said "one of the caliphate's soldiers placed bombs within a gathering of the Crusaders."

They obviously see this as a religious war, but we still pretend they have misinterpreted Islam. 

Authorities are attempting to determine if Abedi was radicalized in the last few years, and if he acted along or was part of a larger terror cell. Now that he has been identified, this will be somewhat easier.

Apparently, police have raided Abedi's home in Elsmore Road, Fallowfield, where a controlled explosion took place. A neighbor, Lina Ahmed, 21, said she heard him chanting Islamic prayers at the home a few weeks prior to committing the jihad attack.

She also told MailOnline: "They are a Libyan family and they have been acting strangely. A couple of months ago he [Salman] was chanting the first kalma [Islamic prayer] in Arabic very loudly in the street.

"He was saying "There is only one God and the prophet Mohammed is his messenger."

Forensics found a booklet in his home titled "Know Your Chemicals."

And while the PC crowd keeps saying that these terrorist acts are not 'a perversion of Islam' it seems the more religious a young Muslim becomes, the more likely it is he will become an "evil loser."

UPDATE: Manchester, UK: 19 dead 59 injured at Ariana Grande concert

UPDATE: A press conference given at 10:00 p.m. ET reports that the dead stands at 19 and 59 wounded. It is believed that this has been a terrorist attack, but not confirmed and police are asking everyone to avoid the Manchester location where the attack occurred. 

It has been confirmed that this was a suicide bombing as a partial body was found with a suicide vest attached to it, but police did not mention this at the press conference. (It may be due to their need to avoid sounding Islamophobic.)

No ages of the victims were given, but it is expected they are young girls and children, possibly as young as six.

U.S. Department of Homeland Security John Kelly is monitoring the attack.

DEVELOPING: An explosion outside the arena where Ariana Grande just concluded her concert has killed at least 19 and wounded about 50 people at Manchester Arena. The explosion was reported at about 10:40 p.m. local (5:40 p.m. ET).

It is probable that the bomb was a suicide attack as the wounds being seen at hospitals are shrapnel wounds. 

"Ariana is okay," a representative said. "We are further investigating what happened."

It is believed the explosion did not actually occur inside the arena, but immediately outside and was detonated as people were exiting the event.

British Transport Police said that officers were posted inside the arena, which is located atop the Manchester Victoria transit station. All lines to the station were closed and Manchester cab drivers offered people free rides to their destinations.

Steve Rotheram, mayor of the Liverpool City Region, tweeted that his two daughters were at the concert and were safe. "But I fear for others," he said.

While we don't yet know the reason for the attack, my money is on radical Islamic terrorism.
