Mohammed Kozbar, chairman of Finsbury Park mosque, told the press:
“Whoever did this, he did it to hurt people and it’s a terrorist attack.
Update
One man has died, however that was due to collapsing into the road just before the van came along and apparently hit the crowd of people who had rushed to help him. However it has been reported he died due to medical reasons and not due to anything to do with the incident. Police quick to appease the Islamic population have deemed this a terrorist incident , which has also seem the Prime Minister and the Islamic terrorist supporting leader of the socialist labour party visit he mosque. The mayor of London has stated he will be posting extra police outside mosques and the British version of CAIR (The MCB) have demanded more police protection.
