British Lawmaker: London Terrorist's Religion Is ‘Utterly And Completely' Irrelevant

[Daily Caller] British Lawmaker Lord Digby Jones does not believe the religion of the London attacker is pertinent, The Washington Post reports.

Lord Digby Jones is a particular species of idiot...

But he gets good press...

Jones comments come in the wake of a tweet by Donald Trump Jr. criticizing London Mayor Sadiq Khan for once telling citizens that terrorist attacks are "part and parcel" part of living in a big city.

Some British lawmakers drew offense from the tweet, saying Trump was attacking the mayor in the midst of a terrorist situation.

"You’re safer in London than you’ve ever been," Jones declared. He continued, "If this turns out to be an act of Islamic terrorism, I think the fact that the man is a Muslim is utterly and completely irrelevant." Other critics said Khan’s quote was mischaracterized because he also emphasized that living in a big city also "means being vigilant, having a police force that is in touch with communities, it means the security services being ready, but also it means exchanging ideas and best practice."

British Prime Minister Theresa May confirmed that the attacker, who killed four and injured 40 Wednesday, was a known Muslim extremist to British intelligence services. The Islamic State’s official propaganda arm, Amaq news agency, also claimed responsibility for the attack Thursday calling him a "soldier of the caliphate."

#2 It's only irrelevant if you are trying to cover up the origins of a failed policy of enforced multiculturalism.

#3 In ref to #2 'multi-cult' comment - PM Theresa May's "all nationalities and cultures" statement on terrorist attack:

"Those values - free speech, liberty, human rights and the rule of law - are embodied here in this place, but they are shared by free people around the world.

"A terrorist came to the place where people of all nationalities and cultures gather to celebrate what it means to be free. And he took out his rage indiscriminately against innocent men, women and children.

#5 Fine. We'll ship you off to Syria and you can preach your multi-cultural crap and we'll see how long the "religion" is irrelevant when ISIS comes to set you on fire or cut off your head.

#6 Digby Jones belongs up against the wall, alongside any other "leaders" who don't value the safety and security of those they allege to lead.

Talk about sticking to a message no matter how absurd...

#10 I wonder just what it would take to pry Progressives loose from their childish, cherished belief that "Islam is a religion of peace"? Simultaneous 9/11-style attacks in multiple US or European cities? A nuclear attack by Iran on NYC?

I doubt even those would do the trick.

#11 I doubt even those would do the trick.

Of course not. Because we would soon find out that Iran does not follow True Islam.

#12 gorb, of course not. The Iranians are Shiites, and therefore apostates to the Sunnis.

Of course, to the Shiites, Sunnis are apostates.

#13 If you really study the history of Islam, there is literally NO WAY anyone can call it a religion of peace. Given as how they've been chopping each other to fish bait over the succession to Mohammed, i.e., the Sunni/Shiia divided since 864 or so when Mohammed died.

Sadly, just about every member of Monty Python's Flying Circus could now win that award in real life.
