What a nice culture-enrichment to our Western-European civilization, isn't it?

[quote]A man has been killed in a machete attack and his two assailants shot by police in Woolwich, south-east London.

The government is reported to be treating the assault as a suspected terrorist incident and the prime minister said it was "truly shocking".

Footage has emerged showing a man wielding a bloodied meat cleaver and making political statements.

Local MP Nick Raynsford said the dead man was a soldier at Woolwich barracks but this has not been confirmed.

The ITV film shows a black man, dressed in a grey hooded jacket, saying: "We must fight them as they fight us. An eye for an eye, a tooth for a tooth."

He added: "I apologise that women have had to witness this today, but in our land our women have to see the same. You people will never be safe. Remove your government, they don't care about you."

According to senior Whitehall sources the people carrying out the attack were heard to say Allahu Akbar [God is Great], said our political editor.[/quote]

I actually found out about this from a slightly different perspective, my friend showed me this story about it.

Condolences to the soldier's family and all those involved. But great respect to this hero as well.

And I thought the US was bad. I'd rather die by gun shots than be hacked to death.

I hope his family is doing alright. I feel for them. Such pointless violence.

Found out about it on the news here in Turkey, truly horrifying really. Respect to the deceased & regards to the family. Something like that doesn't even need that much planning. Don't know if anyone has seen the video of the one attacker speaking out about why he had done it to a passerby, says some pretty chilling things.

Yeah... this is obviously terrible news, with possibly big repercussions for us here in the UK. What a tragic waste of life. Real difficult to comprehend.
