Britain’s Channel 4 named the wrong one of #NotAllMuslims yesterday. Turns out that the London attacker was a different designated victim.
The Guardian:
Police have named the attacker as Khalid Masood…
Masood, 52, was born in Kent and detectives believe he was most recently living in the West Midlands…
Scotland Yard said Masood was not the subject of any current investigations and there was no prior intelligence about his intent to mount a terrorist attack.
Now that we’ve gotten that part settled, all you reporters can start filing your “Muslims Fear Backlash” pieces. And don’t forget to fall for every “Islamophobia” hoax you see. You have a duty to your audience.
London Attacker Finally Named: Khalid Masood
Masood, 52, was born as Adrian Elms in Kent and was shot dead by police. He had not been the subject of any current police investigations. (Case closed.)
This guy was English. He was born in Kent and originally had the surname of Elms. You can’t get more English than that. So we have one more petty criminal who was radicalised in gaol where he found a religion that would justify his addiction to violence. So why the delay in releasing his name, just what were they trying to cover up. By the way I don’t see any media now describing him as “asian”.
