MORE: Suspect reported to have screamed "Allahu Akbar," a key reason authorities looking at terrorism as possible motive, sources tell @ABC.
— ABC News (@ABC) October 31, 2017
Another savage attack by what appears to be a Muslim terrorist named Sayfullo Saipov, apparently from Uzbekistan and who shouted ‘Allah Akbar’ according to witnesses….ABC says it is a ‘key reason’ authorities suspect terrorism. Why would the BBC miss out a ‘key reason’ from their report? This is from CNN…note ‘four law enforcement sources’ say he shouted ‘Allah Akbar’
Multiple law enforcement sources say the New York incident is being investigated as terrorism. Separately, four law enforcement sources said witnesses reported the suspect was yelling Allahu Akbar.
Nice beard….
Here he is being arrested…
The BBC manages to miss all of that out in its report. The BBC is quite happy to jump the gun and, on no substantial evidence, pronounce that Trump was only elected because he had Russian help, however it is reluctant to give the slightest inkling that a terrorist attacker might be Muslim.
You can almost guarantee he is Muslim by the BBC’s silence…if he’d been a white supremacist the BBC would be making it headline news.
Here’s the BBC’s photo album of the attack…..
In pictures: New York truck attack
Not one photo shows the attacker and yet, as above and below there are many available….all pretty newsworthy I’d say…..
Sadiq KhanVerified account @SadiqKhan London stands in grief and solidarity with the great city of New York tonight….but you know what?…terror attacks are all part and parcel of the great city experience…innit bruv? So don’t be alarmed!
Actually Alan, the bBC does mention the fact, it’s just that they do a very good job of hiding it. I quote from the bBC article:
“The driver emerged holding what appeared to be two handguns and made a statement “consistent with a terror attack”
As per usual the bBC cannot allow the victim status it paints on a daily basis regards Islam to be questioned.
Yeah…what would that be?…
‘Go back to your country,’ ‘We’re going to come and kill you,’ ‘We will hunt you down,’ ‘You are disgusting to look at.'”
Oh…no….that’s the BBC’s latest ‘all Muslims’ are victims #duetobrexit report.
Hi Alan, just want to give you a big thanks for all your work generating articles for this site. Very much appreciated.
ps maybe some of these articles could have a time stamp on them as well.
Actually when I put my cursor over the date – a time stamp appears (10.22 pm).
The Time stamps on the embedded tweets also helps (so thanks for that) – we know how the BBC like to withhold information – while busy working behind the scenes on counter stories – Muslim victimhood stories – in order to deflect away from what is happening as they slowly manage and deflect away from the information release.
Hi Pounce – did you save the article (print – pdf) where the BBC report “The driver emerged holding what appeared to be two handguns and made a statement “consistent with a terror attack”
If you did that would be absolutely brilliant. The article could be referenced – with a date and time stamp (as they may have changed it later).
The reason why it would be brilliant – is because we could make the following statement:
The expression “Allahu Akbar”, which means Allah is Great in Arabic, is according to the BBC report (headline, date, time) a statement that is “consistent with a terror attack”
So if you could provide headline, date, time – we can repeat this indefinitely.
(We would probably need a reference to both versions of the report – with the later report mentioning Allahu Akbar – in order to make the above statement ironclad).
Sorry I didn’t, as I was on my IPad at the time. However whilst the bBC is now reporting this:
“The suspect, named by media as Sayfullo Saipov, reportedly shouted “Allahu Akbar” (“God is greatest”) as he left the truck.
They still include the statement I quoted further down in their reporting:
Hi Pounce, I looked over my old article captures – and I have it. The BBC was quoting a New York Police Dept announcement – but we don’t need to add that detail – referencing the BBC article is sufficient. They have updated the article several times since – but still include the quote in later updates. [I think the BBC are generally very careful in what they say – which means that their bias/ propaganda – is well thought out and deliberate]
http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/world-us-canada-41827435
Screenshot : BBC quoting NYPD acknowledge that
“Allah Akbar = “a statement consistent with a terror attack”
http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/world-us-canada-41825577
So 8 killed and 11 injured. The thing is the death toll could have been a lot worse:
Pounce
Listening to two lots of news reports on BBC R2 today there was absolutely no mention whatsoever of this Muslim terror attack.
The headline news was about the inappropriate attention men give women and looking at women in the wrong way.
The only thing the BBC is interested in right now is their JIMMY SAVILE guilt. Their news editors
need to go and see psychiatrists and ask them why they consider politicians touching women’s knees
twenty years ago or film producers and actors acting like film producers and actors , is more important
headline news than anything else. The psychiatrists will tell them the obvious. It is a guilt complex for
letting Jimmy Saville putting his hands up young girls skirts or touching their breasts on Top of the Pops
for 30 years . And them doing NOTHNG about it!!
I have to laugh, the Left has spent the past two days demanding heads must roll within the tori’s party regards Fallon putting his hand on a woman’s knee during a dinner, 6 years ago. Currently on News night they are discussing the rape of a Labour activist. Their excuse, there is no system in place for women to complain.. sorry?. Now they have changed the subject back to Fallon. Pathetic
Workplace violence at best.
Seeing as Cecil Parkinson is no longer with us, maybe John Prescott or Lord Ashdown might serve as Counsellors, if we ask them nicely.
And don`t foget Lord Christopher Rennard too, for a cross party united response ro pervdom.
Funny that- am I right in saying that the Liberals are 200 times more perverted than Labour-who are 20 times more pervy than Tories.?
Think on, Martha Longhurst-Big Cyril, Sir Clement, Lembit and Mark Oaten, Huhney and Paddy, Rennard and Big Simon-no wonder they don`t stand for anything, given what hides in a libbies closet.
Lot of perv action for such a miniscule “political party”-let alone old Jeremy Thorpe and Sir Norman Scott of Bunnikins West.
Would More or Less care to discuss the link with sexual criminal deviance in all its shades(sorry Mark!)-and being on the same gene as the idiot lefty one?
No wonder they keep wanting to go into schools, youth offending institues and prisoners votes…keep them out.
cH
Thorpe, indeed. Who can forget The Sun headline.
Scott of the arse antics.
Got to admit that there`s been so many of these BBC-“must we really report this” kind of atrocities by our beardie bhoys that I find myself setting an egg timer.
1. Time between the blandishments at the start of reporting-and then the slow coming train that will shine a light down their rabbit warrens-and not to their benefit.
2. Their lovingly choosing to slowly slalom around all those indicators, flags and klaxons that might tell us that ITMA(It`s Those Men Again).
3. Did anybody HEAR anything shouted through the incident-anybody see any identifying things like beards and burkas maybe? Something that might tell us that Muslims were involved?Allah Akbar maybe?
And then I count the minutes, hours…watch faces redden, listen out for garbled rush throughs of a hastily-evolving script. I look for what is not said, enjoy their desperate live edits and questions framed to keep us off Islam…if they do nothing else then let THAT be the takeaway.
Been a good night- as synthetic as the Boston bomb, less candid than Fort Hood.
But like Arianna Grande-their tired lefty playbook is as threadbare and well thumbed as their Jimmy Savile poppets.
Ought to be a media course in how these stories all end up in the same place. Trump and Brexit next stop.
I’ve complained to the BBC as follows:
On The World Tonight we had a report about today’s murders in New York, which appear to have been the result of a terrorist attack. At the end of the report, Ritula Shah said (I paraphrase) “We’ll tell you more when we know more”. I had a look online. I see from CNN and the New York Daily News, reports that were more than an hour old at the time of broadcast, that significantly more was already known, but not reported by the BBC: that the attacker, Uzbek Sayfullo Saipov, is reported as having shouted “Allahu Akbar” at the scene of his crime. That seems credible, and relevant. Certainly, two well-known American news sources think so. But we don’t hear that on the BBC. Instead, we get reports that this was a “lone wolf”, reports that are not credible but which are accepted uncritically by BBC journalists, even though this type of attack by vehicle, promoted by the Islamic State, has been used extensively by Moslem terrorists in several countries including Israel, France, Germany, Sweden, Britain, and now the United States. The best I can say of this reporting is that it is unprofessional, credulous journalism. Islamic terrorism is one of the most significant issues of our time and you ought to be investigating the facts, including whether, as seems likely, this was the motivation for this latest attack. The nearest we came to this was at the end of the programme when one of Donald Trump’s tweets was quoted: “We must not allow ISIS to return, or enter, our country after defeating them in the Middle East and elsewhere. Enough!” Your treatment of this important issue was very poor.
Edit: Midnight news on Radio 4 has finally reported on “Allahu Akbar”.
“We’ll tell you more when we know more”
But if it’s anything important, like smearing the name of Cliff Richard, we know in advance because the police tell us.
Simon – I commend you on complaining, would love to know what response you get (if any). The one and only time I complained to the BBC was in regards to a survey of Muslims which revealed 25% of respondents thought the victims of the Charlie Hebdo attack got what they deserved. Every news outlet (even the Grauniad) led with the headlines and shock that 1 in 4 thought murder was a reasonable response to a cartoon. The BBC however said 75% of Muslims condemn Hebdo attack. I raised a complaint and pointed out the inconvenient 25% – the response was a one liner the numbers we quoted are accurate and that’s the end of it.
Incidentally, I can recall from childhood Dennis Murray standing behind police cordons around Northern Ireland. I don’t remember similar mealy-mouthed concerns not to cause offence when talking about IRA or UVF murders [although others may recall differently]? The bias these days is out of control and deeply pernicious.
Simon,
Good luck on your complaint.
Toady watch
Humph and sopel chatting about president trumps response to the vehicle collision in New York where a load of pedestrians who shouldn’t have been there jumped in front of an unsuspecting uzbek driver who in his shock called out Allah Akbar’
. Sopel criticised the president for being restrained in his tweets and sounding very reasonable.
He then linkd the various shootings to this terrorist attack and did an excellent job at rubbishing the travel ban on Muslims which the courts undermined . He left the last bit out and since it was two beeboids talking – sum wages at least £1 000 000 this wasn’t challenged . Obviously no mention of victims because only some lives matter.
See what happens when you clear Raqqa?
The US media will now tell us of the good old days when Obama and Clinton preferred to let them win.
Trump has led the fightback, CNN will blame him for this attack.
And we`ll now be needing more Muslims in, seeing Trump scared them out of Mosul.
Back to absinthe and laudanum, now Trump plans on a wall. Seems they`ve started earlier, that`s all.
Dead right Alicia.
I can see the story already getting threaded.
1. Uzbekistan used to be In Russia.
2. Trump has provoked Uzbekis, possibly by his proposed Muslim ban.
3. And Trump has unnecessarily goaded IS by his house clearance of these vulnerable young men in Raqqa and Mosul.
4. And, of course, he came from Florida and was an Uber driver by all accounts.
5. And trucks are not good for the environment.
Actually-can`t be bothered to link it, but the BBC will.
The BBC’s Radio 4 Today programme went beyond broadcasting ‘Fake News’, it actually lied. John Humphreys said that this latest Muslim terrorist attack in New York would cause Trump problems because his flight ban applied to mainly Muslim countries. “This man came from Uzbekistan, and Uzbekistan is not a Muslim country.” he clearly said.
I had a look on several websites about Uzbekistan and they all said the same and that is that Islam is by far the dominant religion in Uzbekistan, as Muslims constitute 79% of the population while 5% of the population follow Russian Orthodox Christianity, and 16% of the population follow other religions and non-religious.
As if Humphrys and the like would ever have an atlas.
Like Jon Snow-there`s countries where he can act like carrion, there`s others where he can shop and see the sights.
A divided world indeed. Trump only threatens their drugs supply and house boy labour with his extreme vetting stuff over there. And Christmas in Times Square and a chance to bitch with Chris Cuomo or Katie Couric, is coming now.
“One Year Since Trump”-here`s Matt Frei tellin` ya ow` it is.
See-the personal IS now political. Thanks for nothing hippies.
I missed Today this morning and so didn’t hear that. It would have been an extraordinarily ignorant thing to hear on the BBC’s flagship (?) current affairs programme.
Hear Today from yesterday to check on their Luther crap.
Clueless, utterly clueless. Sarah Montagues range of questions boiled down
to
a) What would Rowan or Vince Nicholls have done had THEY been Pope in 1517
b) Can`t we just get you out of the Lords, you priesty types-disestablishment now!
c) Can`t we all gather in Wittenburg, say sorry to Merkel and rejoin the E.U?
Not a clue…if ever I need proff that the Christian Church has lost all contact with the media classes, here it is. Thank the Lord, Thought For The Day laid out what Luther meant for us all…but who listens to THAT?
Sarah Monty probably got her club biscuit and a crayoning book when TFTD was on.
Western thinking just misunderstands the simple demands of Islam …
1. Islam asks for one simple thing. Islam asks for everything – finance, religion, police, morals, schools, law, food, science, clothes, art and your body to be Islamic.
2. Islam only has two problems – Muhammed and Mohammed. Once the first problem has been solved then the second one can be solved easily.
3. Islam offers three things. In the Koran it offers Peace, War and then a Continuation of War. In your life Islam wants you to subjugate yourself, subjugate your family and then subjugate everyone else.
How does Sadiq Khan square this circle ….
“London chose me as their mayor, not just an ethnic minority, not just a religious minority, but a Londoner of Islamic faith.” – Sadiq Khan, {cnn.com sep2016}
– Ethnic minority – tick
– Religious minority – tick
– Londoner of Islamic faith – tick
– Being a good decision maker and being able to run a large city (5th Largest Economy) – not mentioned
– Very odd that Sadiq Khan’s London Manifesto 2016 does not mention voting for him because of his Islamic Faith? I might be wrong – but could not find a sentence saying ‘Vote for me because I believe in Allah’.
– Does Allahu Akbar have anything to do with Islam and the faith that Sadiq Khan says got him the job in London, but ‘Allahu Akbar’ was never mentioned in the Khan manifesto?
Can’t even make a comment to a Muslim, it’s a hate crime.
The BBC on breakfast TV are trying their hardest to dumb down the atrocity by a Muslim terrorist in New York.
At times it looks like their reports from New York are being conducted by “selected” commentators chosen
by the BBC to make sure that we are told that this “event” is just a continuation of every day life. The
last one I heard told us that the perpetrator was not very bright because he could of killed many more folk
if he driven the truck the other way!!
Others have all but said in so many words that it was just an extension on what was going on Halloween.
Of course we here the shit about how resilient everybody is. Unless you happen to be dead or a relative or
a friend of one one of those slaughtered by an ISLAMIC TERRORIST SCUMBAG!!!!!!!!!
Sometimes dark humour is the best summary of a tragic situation, until it is banned of course:
Once the Conservative Amber Rudd Hate Crime Hub appears in dec2017 there will be no Hate, no Humour. Just a perfect Amber Rudd proscribed world.
Amber Rudd and MPs need to list what words make a hate crime or incident prior to dec2017 when debate and free speech disappear down the hate crime hub black hole …. which of the following are hate?
I hate Marmite?
I hate all white people?
I want to kill all **** people? (Insert what you will)
Using the word N-word, unless you are black?
Merkel enforced migration with any consequences to herself – I hate this!
Every time I hear a US expert spouting forth-you need only ask
a) what university they`re working in
b) when were they “State employed” as officials…if it`s under the Dems, they`ll be scum-if under Bush, merely scum-liter.
Funnily enough, there`s no end of these Trump hating Muslim hugging shills on the US payroll in media and university. Come on Trump-get them all gone!
any one see Jon Sopel BBC news North America Editor twitter ?
all common Factors are #VehicleAttack
London, Barcelona, Berlin, Nice, Paris and now New York. Fabulous cities now having this dreadful thing in common: #VehicleAttack
Unbelievable couldnt Dare say The M or I word could you JON – Gutless and spineless BBC
Jon, for some reason you missed out Jerusalem.
Bob,
That’s interesting since Mr Sopel is Jewish . He is another character who has spent his working life at al beeb – before that he was the president of something like the Labour Student Union at his University. If you google his fixation with President Trump is self evident. Perhaps he ll be brought back to Blighty to do a higher status job like Question Time or similar . I don’t think he’d get s job anywhere else with his pretty obvious bias .
Sopel getting an absolute pasting over this tweet, with hundreds of negative replies – some quite funny.
I would like to twitter but don’t have an account, so anyone please feel free to use my tweet which would be:
‘Warsaw, Krakow, Budapest, Debrecen… Fabulous cities that DON’T have this thing in common. I wonder why?’
Maybe he’s stuck in the seventies still?
“Here’s another beauty!”
Hi Alan and Pounce, The New York attack must have been part of the following plot – note how the BBC don’t make the potential connection:
http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/world-us-canada-41536402
ps yes the BBC are reporting that it is believed to be a “lone wolf” attack. Except this lone wolf has obviously split off from the wolf pack.
Actually calling it a “lone wolf” attack is stupid – there was obviously a support group involved which planned this attack, financed it, got the lorry, the hand guns etc. I still think it was likely part of the larger plot above, but that plot may have been divided into separate cells. It probably didn’t go perfectly to plan and may have been partly improvised and rushed if they felt their cover may be shortly blown.
One wonders how bad it has to get for the BBC to change their farcically dishonest approach to the ROP.
They are like Comical/Chemical Ali during the Iraq war, who would proclaim how well the Iraqis were doing in the war as everything exploded behind him.
“Those Islamophobes jumped into the way of the van to shout hateful things and he killed them in self defence!”
It has to get much, much worse with direct and numerous deaths of bbc employees before any change comes.
The bbc culture comes a close second to jihadi fanaticism.
High Beeb Brother – the BBC’s approach as well as the Social Justice Warrior approach to Islam (ROP) is based on theological ignorance of Islam, historical ignorance of Islam as well as a psychologically issue that causes them to refuse to accept certain things as being essential to Islam.
It starts out in the schools and extends outwards into all areas of British society now. The main driver has been the 3 million and growing Pakistani / Bangladeshi community in Britain, that took a decision about thirty years ago (with direction and support from the Pakistan Government) to get organised and political.
They have found very willing patrons in terms of cultural Marxists, postmodernists, SJW, feminists, lefties, socialists … Maybe in a few years I will write a book on it, but it would probably have to be self-published and written anonymously.
The important thing to recognise is that the belief that Islam is essentially peaceful and that Muhammad was a Jesus like figure is very strong and not easily broken. Even if there were weekly bombs going off in major cities in the UK, they will say – this is not Islam – it is a perversion of Islam and driven by a reaction to Britain’s foreign policy, Britain’s racist culture and Britain’s colonial past.
Here is an example of the madness: over a month ago the BBC reported a UN report into Islamic terrorism in Africa. The solution they came up with was to set up MORE Islamic Schools In Africa. It was claimed if Africans were taught Islam properly, there would be less Islamic terrorists (sorry can’t find link to the story).
Apparently according to Saint Farage the terrorist was invited in to the USA on a ‘lottery visa’ ie just to add a bit of diversity to the USA, I wonder if the BBC will mention this !
I do not think after Rotherham and this year’s attacks most people are believing the big lie anymore. No sentient human could not sense something is seriously awry.
Interestingly, much is made by BBC and others that the murdering barsteward in New York is from Uzbekistan, and that country is not on Donald Trump’s proscribed list, so clearly Mr Trump’s call for stronger vetting is just a waste of time, since it would not have caught this particular individual….I have heard this argument and implication so many times on the BBC, it’s unreal.
Problem is, that this completely ignores those whom the stronger vetting actually does pick up and reject from the visitor list to the US, and even more importantly, ignores the ones who are deterred from trying to enter the US, simply because there is a potentially greater chance of being detained up-front !
Slick thinking from Sopel and the other, so-called, ‘experts’ from the BBC.
Well, they’ve always got an excuse
.. If he was from one of the proscribed countries, they’d still have an excuse
Think of the victims
… If that guy had not got his Immigration lottery ticket, those victims would still be alive for sure.
