I live in East London where Muslims live en masse. I'm in walking distance of one of Londons biggest mosques. I live and work amongst these people. I even speak Farsi and yet, never once have I met a Muslim who has outwardly shown me he/she's radicalized. Muslims are generally quite reserved with people until they understand that you're not going to judge them on their faith and so I think its highly unlikely that Robinson personally knows people. What he probably knows are the Muslims who have come up against him at rallies and shouted something in support of radicalization. I'd be tempted to use a similar weapon if I saw a group of people throwing around false accusations about me.

We will get blamed by some of their community.

Few terrorists are.

known terrorists should be taken off the streets...known violent thugs should get longer prison sentences and known psychopaths should also be locked away under close supervision

Looks like a lunatic and mentally unstable man has flipped after all the recent terrorist attacks in manchester and london..

Blame his mental health and the terrorists.

Those poor people ..he drove a long way to make his point

Oh, a lone wolf? Unemployed? He had mental health problems? Poor thing.

He was completely in control. I'm not buying the excuses.

What an idiot.He's giving them exactly what they want.

He's as much a terrorist as any of the recent attack perpatrators.

TBF most terrorists have mental health issues, its not an excuse. They are still terrorists.

Ian Brady had mental health issues, he was still a murderer

yep

Lone Wolf and a bit barmy

Not a radicalised Muslim terrorist

And Morgan gets the leader of the EDL on GMB.... :facepalm:

Tim Ablitt?

This is true of the vast majority of successful "Muslim Terrorist" attacks, though. Lone wolves who are a bit barmy. They carry out their attacks "in the name of" whatever but most are acting alone or in small groups, not as part of or under the direction of a larger organisation.

ISIS has called on Muslims worldwide to kill the infidel in any way they can. Yeah, most of them are mental... but they still answered the call, so claiming they are acting alone is contrary to intelligence gathered by all the security services where attrocities happen.

What a terrible incident to have worshippers targeted by a Right wing lunatic. But let's not forget that the Islamist terrorists are still winning.

Why isn't his family being rounded up and arrested? I'm sorry, but they definitely knew he was planning this - they probably hired the van for him. Once he's (inevitably) found guilty, they all need to be deported in my opinion - we cannot have their ilk living amongst us.

Didn't hopkins incite western men to rise up?

As alternative dimension inspired it sounds that someone would actually act on what she stated, which was effectively inciting racial violence.

This is not a game, nobody is 'winning' :/

I found it odd that the media go with 'he wasn't known to security services' no, that's because he is a far right extremist and for some reason that is not their remit. It would be a police matter.

It shouldn't be used as an excuse to suggest that he wasn't in control of his own actions. His mental health issues weren't driving the van; he was.
