UK:Revenge attack for Woolwich beheading, mosque in Kent attacked, windows & bookcase smashed:

Police have apprehended the attacker. All per Twitter ~10-15 minutes ago.

Picture of damage here:

I have pulled up this picture which seems to show the inside of the same mosque from 2007. The damaged area in the picture above is on the left side of the image below:

At present any ref. they may have made to Allah remains a rumour and nobody knows who the two are or why they did it.

I'm not quite sure what some in the US actually believe what the EDL stands for...........if anything. To a certain extent they are groups of ex-football whatevers spread across the UK. Robinson is one of Luton's MIGS . As I mentioned in the reply to Muriel's post - there is no apparent support from the locals which would be Millwall's Bushwackers.

The mosque appears to have survived better than the poor bloke that was butchered on the street. This could get ugly and the police will need better response time than the 20 minutes it took them to get to the beheaded man.
