Jihadist group Islamic State/ISIS/ISIL/Daesh, etc, etc. (1) have claimed responsibility for the attack that took place in Westminster on 22/03 that left five dead, including the alleged assailant with ten times that amount suffering injuries. (2)
British-born Muslim convert, 52-year-old Khalid Masood (previously known as Adrian Russell and Adrian Russell Elms) has been identified by the police who mowed down the victims in a rented Hyundai Tucson compact crossover utility vehicle before fatally wounding a police officer with a seven-to-eight inch knife. (3)
Interestingly, Masood was initially described as “Asian” (4) before Channel 4 News announced Abu Izzadeen as the attacker until being forced into a humiliating retraction (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8vvf6WtkZuE). This was not the only curious Volte-face around this case. Two days after the attack, security officials were claiming that Khalid Masood “was not a lone wolf but part of a wider conspiracy.” (5) However, two days after these reports, the police were satisfied that Masood “acted alone and we may never know his motive,” (6) even though arrests are still being made in relation to the case. (7)
In response, former UKIP leader, now being dubbed “founding father of Brexit,” referred to the incident as a “jihadist massacre,” (8) within the “clash of civilisations” narrative that gained so much traction among so-called right wing conservatives such as the Trump administration in the USA and across western Europe. (9) Yet in terms of massacres, Farage seems to have had little to say about the estimated 200 civilians killed in suspected U.S. airstrike in Iraq five days before the Westminster attack. (10) This adds to the estimated 210,000 Afghan, Iraqi, and Pakistani civilians that have died violent deaths as a direct result of the wars between 2003 and 2015. (11)
This narrative continuously under emphasises acts of white terror such as the fact that since the Oklahoma bombing of April 1995 32 officially designated white terror attacks (i.e. not directly carried out by the state) involving 40 perpetrators and 70 murders have been committed in the USA. (12) This compares with the zero number of murders carried out by Nationals from the seven countries included in the USA’s so-called “Muslim Ban” between 1975 and 2015. In fact in the last 40 years out of 3.25 millions refugees welcomed to the USA:
“20 have been convicted of attempting or committing terrorism on U.S. soil, and only three Americans have been killed in attacks committed by refugees—all by Cuban refugees in the 1970s.”(13)
There are also those that categorised the attacks as merely the latest in a long line of “false flag” events preceded by a “conveniently practiced a terror drill the Sunday before” (14):
“More often than not, these things are blamed on ‘radical Muslims.’ (The dead perp in the photo has the typical, iconically-“Muslim” salafi beard.) But it’s hard to see how actual radical Muslims, whose goal is to push Western imperialists and colonialists out of historically Muslim lands, gain anything from such deeds. On the contrary, attacks on Western civilians provide a huge PR boost to the imperialists and colonialists, and free up huge sums of money to be spent on military action against “radical Muslims.
So whoever did this presumably wants to convince you to give up your hard-earned money, and perhaps your freedom as well, and support the hyper-militarization of the West — and an accelerated war against Muslims. Just like the previous London attack in July 2005! Watch terror consultant Peter Power confess that his company was running “terror drills” at the exact times and locations that the real bombs went off!” (15)
Another relatively unexplored aspect of the Westminster attack is: given the background of Khalid Masood (and Abu Izzadeen, for that matter), as well as Michael Adebolajo and Michael Adebowale, currently in prison for the murder of drummer Rigby, the extent to UK born Afrikans from non-Muslim backgrounds are converting to Islam. Some, like Abdul Haqq Baker, argue that Islam’s “brotherhood… monotheism” and lack of “contradictions” are key factors. (16)

So we ask the question:
Westminster Attacks – part of the “clash of civilisations”?
-
Can the attack really be considered a massacre?
-
Is there a parity of civilian deaths between Europe and the rest of the world?
-
Could the Westminster attack really have been a ‘false flag’ event?
-
Is the reported growth in Muslim in the Afrikan community cause for concern?
-
If there is a “clash of civilisations” what is Afrika’s role in it?
