3 Stabbed in Ireland by Egyptian National, Police Rush to Declare 'No Terrorism'

1 killed, 2 injured. Suspect is an Egyptian national, who randomly targeted his victims. The fatality was from Japan, and living in Ireland for work.

Irish police have rushed to declare this a non-terror incident, but Japan, a nation that isn't bound to any pressures to be politically correct and spineless, have declared it terrorism.

I wonder if Facebook has scrubbed the profile of the suspect yet? Yes, it's best to keep us uninformed and in the dark. Otherwise we might put 2 & 2 together!

The Irish police haven’t declared is as not terror related, they said that there is no evidence yet of any terror link but they’re still investigating. There’s probably no evidence yet of any motive but they clearly mentioned terrorism because they know people will jump to that conclusion. You’ve jumped to the conclusion that the victim was targeted at random when you’ve no evidence to prove there wasn’t any connection between the attacker and victim or that the victim wasn’t selected for some reason (rational or not). We simply don't know yet.

I also saw nothing in that article to say Japan has declared it terrorism, only a passing reference to media and public speculation. The quote from the Japanese Embassy, quite rightly, made no such assertion.

I love how Muslims are incapable of being homicidal arseholes. Muslim countries must have very low levels of non-terror related violence

He was an asylum seeker who'd been denied entry to the UK. Not an uncommon story for them to grab some knives and attack the locals after such a decision. Usually while screaming about their god.

The deceased victim did not know his attacker. The 2 survivors did not know their attacker.
The terrorist had only been in Ireland for a few days.

The Japanese will not be so naive as to blindly believe what European politicians want them to. The story I posted made mention of the fact that Japanese media is emphasizing the terror elements of the attack, an obvious nod to terrorism.

You mean screaming about those delicious Hawaiian threats sold at the " Aloha Snackbar ".

That doesn’t automatically mean they must have been targeted at random. It’s possible the attacker had some previous encounters with the victims prior to that or picked up on some characteristics, maybe thought he irrational filter of mental illness. It’s also possible that it was intended as some kind of Islamist terrorist attack. The fact remains that there is zero evidence either way yet.

The Japanese will not be so naive as to blindly believe what European politicians want them to. The story I posted made mention of the fact that Japanese media is emphasizing the terror elements of the attack, an obvious nod to terrorism.

This has nothing to do with any politicians. The police haven’t jumped to conclusions because they know they should never do so (and generally don’t), regardless of the apparent nature of the crime. The media (anywhere in the world) will jump to conclusions because “possible terror attack” makes them more money that “we don’t know yet” and they don’t care which is true. I wouldn’t be surprised if the police statement about terrorism wasn’t triggered by a pointed question from a “journalist” precisely so they could write articles from that angle.

Why not just let the police investigate and reach a conclusion on establish evidence and facts rather than assuming what happened with no basis. It’s not as if you or I need any answers to what happened right now.

Why is it terrorism? Murdering random people is not exactly uncommon in any culture. How many white Americans murder random strangers every year?

It has the hallmarks of terrorism, so I'm not going to ignore that.

Do you want your country to be as violent as mine? I see a lot of Europeans mentioning American trends in violence, every time a new terror incidence occurs in Europe.

May be, but if he was denied asylum as you indicated, maybe he was trying to get incarcerated to avoid deportation back to where he originated, presumably Egypt, for some reason more personal than political.

A Japanese man has been stabbed to death in a series of attacks in Dundalk, in the Republic of Ireland.

Two Irish men were also injured in linked attacks in the town, which is in County Louth, just south of the border with Northern Ireland.

An 18-year-old Egyptian man has been arrested and is being questioned by police.

Irish police have said that terrorism is one line of enquiry.

Chief Superintendent Christy Mangan said: "A terror attack is a line of enquiry - it is certainly a line that we would look at."

Sky News says that it was a possible terror attack in Ireland and the police have also stated that a terror attack is a line of enquiry. The Irish Times may have misinformed the public and the paper was supportive of the Provisional Irish Republican Army (Provisional IRA).

I love how you generalise about an entire group of people based on the actions of a few.

Murdering a stranger is not the hallmark of terrorism.

So you can produce evidence of a handful of such occurences since they're so common? Same old same old from your pet obsession. You do ISIS publicity job for free.

He was "in contact with police" at new year. That means he was stopped and questioned. Immigration officers weren't involved, so he wasn't denied asylum. He's in the Republic of Ireland, not Britain. It seems he was roaming around striking at random people. The first guy was stabbed and died. The second was cut but only injured, and the third was hit with a fencepost, which the perp still had when he was arrested. So three were not stabbed.
It looks like drink/drugs/mental illness at this point.

Murdering a stranger is not the hallmark of terrorism.

A man from a Muslim background randomly stabbing strangers in a Western country, is kind of a hallmark of recent terrorist attacks, innit?

Remember 2017?

The only "hallmark" is his nationality.

They said the same thing about the Bastille Day attack in France, the Orlando massacre in the USA, and many, many others.

As for Isis needing publicity, they've made use of lax immigration practices to slaughter many people in Europe. That's your bag, not mine.

AFAIK the Irish Police (Garda Sochaine) have never commented on any of those incidents.

Your obsession is leading you astray again.. You have "Scary Muslims under the bed" syndrome. Which helps ISIS.

There are a lot of terrorists in the USA.

If there's one place which is capable of determining what is or isn't terrorism, it's Ireland. Or did you forget all about the Troubles?

The troubles were unavoidable. Our modern trouble comes more from left-leaning people who think they are well-meaning and fair, but are going against sound wisdom.

The Irish predicted the attack beforehand.
