    Seriously! I saw that and my heart fell. I love London so much. It’s terrible what’s going on there. It also makes me nervous that some of my students will pull out of the study abroad I’m planning for next year. 😳

    After reading comments at news sites, I decided to check whether they were lying about the attacked mosque.

    Found the info in “Former terrorism links” section on wiki:
    https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Finsbury_Park_Mosque

    I think the mosque’s history may have been one of reasons for the attacker’s choice of a target. Obviously, as usual in such cases, innocent people were murdered, while real terrorists got exactly what they were dreaming of – an example of peaceful Muslims being attacked because of their religion in Europe.

    Apparently, the latest French attacker was “a known extremist.” What good can all fingerprinting and reading private Whatsapp messages (*) do, if the attackers are known and still allowed to walk free instead of deportation somewhere?
