I have already read that police are treating it as a Terrorist incident. :-)

I am not aware I have disagreed that it is.

I commented on the human story, man stabbed as he prays.

Think Retro was being ironic, Mamya.....

[retrocop]

My apologies. I misread my own link. :-) What can it be I wonder. Religious differences may be. We will all have to wait for further official bulletins.

When it gets to 'smiley face' status I leave you to it.

Jno, if the culprit was a regular at the mosque his colour has no relevance. Muslims come in all flavours.

naomi, I was responding (not a full answer by any means) to Chilldoubt's mention of the ethnicity of the attacker.

[naomi24]

Ok.

" I am quite surprised that Mental Health issues have not been put forward with regard to this incident."

Me too, usualy the media like to throw that in with white people and incidents like this. If he was black maybe they would have thrown around something to do with gang violence? Asian no doubt especially given the location that Islam and terrorism would be at the heart at debate.

But hwy not now? A guy got stabbed whilst leading prayer in a mosque and no one wants people to think its terrorist related?

[naomi24]

If the culprit was a regular at the mosque how can it be terror related?

[TheDevil]

Who knows why he was a regular. Could have been scoping the place out, trying to find out who was influential so who was best to kill.

It is an awful thing to do, no matter what. I am glad that it is not life threatening.

[naomi24]

Of course! It didn’t occur to me to invent a conspiracy theory.

[TheDevil]

Has it been confirmed the an was a Muslim?

[naomi24]

He was a regular at the mosque. Sounds like he had a personal grudge to me.
