My nieces’ beloved cat Leonard has gone missing in Burwash, East Sussex.
It’s been 4 days and he has a medical condition. I’ll offer a £1000 reward to anyone who finds him.
@UKLabour Change? The only thing changing is the public’s patience. Claiming to know what we "want" while getting absolutely hammered in the local elections is pure delusion
@owenjonesjourno@davegreenpotter In a split-second situation, officers might use force to stop a perceived threat. That’s a judgement call, not official doctrine-and it gets reviewed afterwards.
If you can’t tell the difference between policy and a chaotic moment, you’re arguing with your own confusion.
Let me tell you why a Muslim would stab a random Jewish person on the streets of London.
I was raised Muslim, and I know exactly why this happens. It’s not a reaction to the war in Gaza. It’s not oppression. It’s not radicalization. It’s the logical outcome of Islam itself.
It doesn’t matter if you’re a Muslim or not, we as human beings carry guilt deep inside us. We know we are not good enough, and we spend our life trying to redeem ourself through good deeds, thinking it will make the suffocating guilt go away.
Christianity for example offers a way out of guilt, a solution not based on your works but on Christ’s.
Salvation isn’t earned, it’s given. You accept that you can’t redeem yourself, because Christ already did everything on your behalf. That means you’re free. Free to live, free to build, free to serve, free to love.
And when a Christian feels lost, broken, and in need of forgiveness, they can go to church, talk to a pastor or priest, and leave knowing they are forgiven.
Islam, on the other hand, doesn’t offer redemption, it weaponizes guilt.
Instead of providing salvation, Allah exposes you, holds your sins over your head, and threatens you with hellfire and torture in the grave.
The Quran isn’t a book of peace, it’s a book of threats. It bullies Muslims into obedience through fear, humiliation, and punishment.
So what happens when a Muslim seeks redemption? They try to be better Muslims.
They pray, fast, give to charity, go on Hajj, do everything Allah commands. But it never works. I know it. I did it.
And no matter how much you pray, no matter how much you try, the guilt never goes away. Because deep down, every Muslim knows it’s not enough. Allah always demands more.
Allah loves those who die fighting against the infidels. That’s not an opinion, it’s in the Quran, in Hadith, in every lesson taught to children.
This is why Muslims, even the so-called "moderates," always hesitate to condemn terrorism. Because they know jihad is required by Allah. They might not be willing to commit it themselves, but they can't say it’s wrong.
So when a Muslim fails to reach peace through religious rituals, they have two choices:
Give up, stop being devout, and learn to live with the guilt, or commit to jihad, because that’s the only way to be true to yourself.
The Quran spells it out clearly: “Kill those who do not worship Allah or obey the Prophet” (9:29).
So when a Muslim embraces this identity fully, killing infidels isn’t just justified, it’s joyful. It’s an act of:
Saving yourself, obeying Allah, securing your eternity, finally escaping the crushing weight of guilt
This is why a Muslim can stab a random jewish person on the streets and feel nothing but satisfaction.
Because for the first time in his life, he finally believes he has done something worthy of redemption.
@MsLouiseGlover I’d say so-life was simpler, people actually spoke to each other. Probably felt a lot less great when the phone bill landed though… I got a few proper rollickings over the years for that
Watch as police officers confront a man suspected of carrying out a terrorist attack in north London where two men were stabbed.
The suspect refused to show his hands, was violent and continued to pose a clear threat. Using only their training, courage and tasers, they detained him while he continued to try to attack and stab them. This took true courage.
@SholaMos1 Your outrage is pointed in the wrong direction. The man allegedly attacked innocent people-that’s the starting point, not a footnote. You jumping straight to condemning officers while glossing over the violence that prompted it isn’t principled it’s selective but it’s what you do
@metpoliceuk@AmmarKazmi You assessed a threat, acted decisively, and prevented what could have been far worse. That’s not something to apologise for-it’s precisely what the public expects. A dangerous situation was contained without loss of life. Job done, and done properly. More of the same 👏👏👏
