      It is a cruel act of fate that once again makes France a major victim in a terror attack.I grieve for the innocent French schoolchildren maimed and possibly killed in the Westminster attack, who were just in the wrong place at the wrong time.

      It is far too early to lay blame against the usual Sunni Salafist suspects, but when the truth comes out I really do hope that we have learned not to lay the blame against a major section of the Religion of The Book, thereby tainting the majority of worshipers who would undoubtedly share our revulsion at this indiscriminate attack.

        Although I have headed the previous post to concentrate on the French innocents I obviously have similar feelings for the family and friends of the Policeman (and others(?)) who were killed or injured in the attack.

        That sentiment obviously does not include the ‘alleged’ attacker who I hope went off to purgatory knowing that he was missing a few vital bits !

          Remember there were British victims in the French and Belgian attacks too, plus I’m sure all the others that have happened in recent years around the world.

          Grieve for the victims of terror of all nations.

            Speculation is always dangerous, many if not all ‘lone wolves’ have turned out to be ‘loners’ with consequent mental health issues, often made worse by their worship a the alter of drugs and drink not religion. Some based overseas in their once ‘safe’ hideaways rejoice at the killings and maiming, and claim the perpetrator as one of their own, I have real doubts that the loners had any real basis for their misguided actions.

            To assign, race, religion or anything else except a life of as a failed criminal to the one in the Paris attack would be wrong. I do not speculate about the London attack though I await with interest news of their background.

            I hope that the car was not hijacked ‘with prejudice’ to the owner.

            If there was any good news, my fears about a hijacking were unfounded so at least one or more casualty did not happen.
