Muslims Appear To Have Been Targeted in London Vehicle Attack Near Finsbury Park Mosque

There has been another ramming attack in London. But this time it appears the Muslim community was the target as the attack occurred near the Finsbury Park Mosque.

If this is the case was the attack carried out in retaliation for the London Bridge attack earlier this month not to mention the Manchester Arena and Westminster Bridge? Was the attacker a white supremacist? Or was the attacker a fellow Muslim?

At one time, the Finsbury Park Mosque was a hotbed of Islamic fundamentalism. Its imam was
Abu Hamza al-Masri and its attendees included Zaccarias Moussaoui (the 20th 9/11 hijacker) and the shoe bomber Richard Reid. In 2004, al-Masri was arrested by UK authorities on terrorism charges and extradited to the United States in 2012 where faced trial and was sentenced to life in prison. There's no evidence the current leadership at the Finsbury Park Mosque has engaged in terrorism.

It is not known how many casualties resulted in this attack.
