LONDON MUSLIMS CHASE AWAY MASKED GUNMAN FROM MOSQUE DURING RAMADAN PRAYERS

Source: Newsweek

A group of Muslim worshipers chased away a masked gunman from their mosque in London on Thursday night in an incident that sparked fear of a repeat of the deadly anti-Islamic attack in New Zealand almost two months ago.

Witnesses described feeling shaken by what happened in the Christchurch mosque attacks and believed they were about to be shot while praying. It is currently the holy month of Ramadan for Muslims.

London’s Metropolitan Police said they did not believe Thursday night’s incident, in which a shot was fired, was terrorism-related. Investigators believe it began with a separate incident in the street near the Seven Kings Mosque, which is in the city’s eastern Ilford area.

In a statement, the police said officers were called at 10:45 p.m. BST to reports that an armed man had entered a mosque. “The man was ushered outside of the building by those inside. A gunshot was then heard,” police said.

Right wing shooters and white nationalist terrorists may be disgusting degenerates... but they’re also cowards who will flee the moment they lose the opportunity to shoot unarmed people in the back.

The guy ran into a mosque with a gun. I doubt he subscribes to the 40-virgin theory. He probably thinks Jaysus compelled him to do it. Jaysus just loves guns.
