David Amess – Open Season on Christians
Attacks on Christians are becoming commonplace in the West:
These are dark days if you are a Christian. Or a conservative. Or pro-life. Or pro-family. Or outspoken about your faith. If you happen to be all of these things, watch out. What just happened in the UK to Sir David Amess, the Conservative MP who represented Southend West in Essex could happen to any one of us.
On Friday he was knifed to death while he was holding a constituency meeting at Belfairs Methodist Church. He was stabbed at least 12 times and died at the scene. One news report says this: “Horrified constituents waiting to see the veteran MP, who has campaigned to help refugees, watched in horror as the assailant leapt on him just after midday. Shortly after midday, the knifeman waited calmly in line after booking in at the constituency surgery before launching the fatal attack, according to witnesses.” www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-10097509/Terror-police-probe-British-Muslim-Somali-descent-extremist-links-MP-stabbed.html
It turns out his killer was another Muslim import who did not exactly seem to embrace British values and beliefs. Ali Harbi Ali, a 25-year-old British national of Somali heritage is now under arrest. One news report says this of the killer:
The attack has been declared a terrorist incident by police. The early investigation revealed “a potential motivation linked to Islamist extremism”, according to Metropolitan Police’s Counter Terrorism Command. Mr Ali was initially detained on suspicion of murder but was further detained under the Terrorism Act late on Friday. On Saturday, detectives were granted a warrant by magistrates to allow them to keep Mr Ali in custody until Friday 22 October. The force says it is believed that the man acted alone but enquiries are continuing. www.bbc.com/news/uk-58922522
