How is it not terror related? If this was another religion it would be.

So if two men walked into a Church with an axe and a knife and someone called the police it would immediately be declared a terrorist incident? How do you know?

I wonder why they are not referring to it is a terror act considering the arrest in under section 18. Perpetrators must be white and in time we'll hear of their traumatic event that caused them to do this 'incident' rather than attack.

Show quote history

Only one of them is white according to the BBC.
