This sickening attack will thrill ISIS

Within just minutes of the barbaric attack on innocent Muslim worshippers in Finsbury Park on Sunday night, the fanatical propagandists of Islamic State were taking to social media, calling on their twisted followers to take revenge against the ‘crusaders’ and ‘infidels’ they claimed were behind the atrocity.

‘Oh Muslims, you need to wake up to the war that is starting now in your own streets, outside your own mosques,’ read one of a seemingly endless stream of messages that demanded a fresh wave of terrorism immediately be unleashed in the West.

The despicable crime, rightly defined by Prime Minister Theresa May as an act of extremism and Islamophobia, left one person dead and ten others injured, and the perpetrator arrested for suspected terror offences.

Coming on the back of a reported surge of anti-Muslim hate crimes after the terrorist attacks by Islamist radicals in Manchester and London, it will leave Britain’s Muslim community gripped by fear and anger — and everyone else with the appalling sense that things are spiralling out of control.

Worse, this outrage brings closer to realisation Islamic State’s hope that the small minority of radicalised British Muslims will now be more determined than ever to join the holy war on these shores.

For however much ISIS may feign outrage, in reality they must be ecstatic. The undeniable reality is that they could not have scripted either the timing or the way it was carried out more perfectly to suit their evil agenda.
