Its been said on here and BBC news he is Pakistani
Keep up
They haven't mentioned any description of the culprit on their website yet. However whenever any incident as traumatic as this happens the description of the perpetrator is always withheld to begin with if he isn't an ic1.
He was also said to have been killing cats. Muslims are supposed to revere cats because the mark of a tabby cat with the M between the ears is supposed to be where Muhammed put his 2 fingers on the cats head to bless it.
Why don't the police just come out with it and say Muslim or non Muslim, rather than beating about the bush.
Because if his religion had no connection with his act it is irrelevant and to state he is a Muslim would make the police as bad as the tabloid press and also could provoke retaliation from racist groups against Muslims when religion had nothing to do with it. So until such time as motives are known then they are right to keep such information from the public domain because sadly some members of the public cannot be trusted with such information.
Poor woman. I don't think it's terrorist related, but did wonder if the recent beheadings in the news have influenced someone who's obviously unstable.
FFS JasonWatkins did nothing more than state the obvious - In the current climate some people will jump to that conclusion. Hopefully they will be wrong but that hasn't been established yet.
Some people really need to wind their necks in.
Sorry but Jason Watkins has very predictable form on this issue, to jump in with a sneering comment about Islamaphobia as he did in the very second post about someone tragically losing their life was pathetic.

But the page and a half of bickering about immigration wasn't, right?
Poor woman. But unfortunately nothing like this surprises me about Edmonton... and this is not because of the area's high number of Muslim residents... It's because in general... Edmonton, imo, is the a*sehole of North London. Not a week goes by without either a stabbing or a murder of some kind.

I have no idea what Jason's form is or isn't all I know is the venom in the responses in this thread were way out of proportion to what was said. Given events of this week it is a perfectly normal first reaction to wonder if this horrible killing has some connection. All the sanctimonious knee-jerking in the world isn't going to change that.
Unfortunate as it is post 2 was a simple statement of fact.

They weren't if you knew Jason's form on the issue, his eagerness to attack people for supposed Islamaphobia, even in this case before anyone had said anything is toxic to this forum.
Not that that will stop any of the painfully obvious assumptions and speculation though ..
Are you saying there has been no "painfully obvious" assumptions or speculation? The fact is that (in the early stages) the police statement will not stop that happening.

Did he also create McDonalds?

If not terrorist, then probably copycat by some loony.
'Fat Nicholas'? - there's quite a lot of Greek Cypriots live in this area.
The poster who said integration really meant 'being like me' as if that was unreasonable thing to expect from people living here.

You reckon? Hmm, maybe you're onto something there.

Oh hello... Has it been confirmed that it is a terrorist attack linked to Isis then?
If not, funny use of the word 'fact' there then.
Because animals kill other animals?
Exactly. Most animals kill to eat and survive. Not behead for the sake of it.
To eat. Yes. For joy and the thrill of it... Not likely. Although, there are some exceptions.
Minus the link, here's what was said.
