London attack not a terror attack?

As much as many people want to, I can’t see the terrorism really in the London attack this week.

I found myself not too far away at all at the time (I have a long, dull anecdote about how many times I have been at the scene of terrorism, which in précis, means don’t be friends with me).

But thinking about this idiot who committed this atrocity, I can’t see the real radicalisation here that is terror related.

This looks more, sadly, like the American school massacres. A certain kind of drop-out of society wants to make a name for themselves and off they go on a death-spree.

We don’t label the American school attacks terrorism (or Dunblane, here). They are acts of individual madmen, they are copy-cat ways of committing suicide by harming others.

Because of ISIS there is a section of muslim society motivated to commit atrocities, but without ISIS would they be doing equally as crazy things – after all in this case, as with many before, there does not seem to be much planning or any kind of political statement made.

With no political statement, it is not a political act- and therefore not really terrorism.

Of course, if it were me, I would be closing Wahabi mosques down in the Country as they enable this kind of atrocity – but the Government is too weak for this. Preferring to hope the security forces are up to it rather than making difficult political choices.

What do you think Terrorism or not?
