Muslims should be prevented from owning knives, cleavers, anything with a sharp edge... They seem to have a thing for cutting the heads of people off.
http://www.theage.com.au/world/woman-beheaded-in-london-attack-20140905-10cpzm.htmlAn 82-year-old woman was beheaded in a London garden by a man with a machete on Thursday (London time).
Palmira Silva, a widow and grandmother, was decapitated outside her house in an apparent frenzied assault by a 25-year-old man who randomly targeted victims.
Witnesses said they saw the man, wielding a foot-long blade, attack a passing vehicle and a cat before roaming back gardens for a victim. Police believe the man also tried to attack two people at another home in the street, but they were able to escape without injury.
The man was arrested after armed police, who had distracted him to avoid other attacks, cornered him in a house and brought him down with a stun gun. Some officers were injured.
Ms Silva was pronounced dead at the scene.
Local Lauren Perkins told the Enfield Independent: "I was walking down the road when I saw a man with a big knife walking down the street.
"Then I saw some police come down and they told me to get off the road. I just can't believe something like that would happen. It's just so shocking."
One line of inquiry for detectives is understood to be that the man was inspired by recent footage of terrorists beheading two American journalists in Syria.
Some residents of the area, in Edmonton, north London, claimed last night that the suspect was a local man who had converted to Islam last year, but those claims could not be verified. Detectives said they had ruled out terrorism as a motive for the killing.Witnesses described a dramatic police operation in which officers smashed windows of neighbouring properties, carrying screaming children and leading terrified residents to safety.
One neighbour told of her narrow escape and said she believed the attacker was a local man.
Freda Odame, 30, a catering worker, said she heard a commotion and pulled back her curtains to see a black man in his mid-twenties with a knife.
"Someone was shouting and the door was banging. I could hear the screaming but I could not hear what he was saying," she said.
"I could see that he had a big curved knife, about the size of an arm's length and he was crouching as if frantically searching for something ... He had a crazed look in his eyes so I closed my curtains because I was scared.
"I have seen him around here all the time, I think he lives on the road. I think he lives with his family," she said.
"I was just so very scared. Five minutes after I heard him screaming the police knocked on my door and told me I had to get out."
Sue Mahadooa, 50, a neighbour who saw police cars screech to a halt outside her home, said officers were running down the street shouting at people to get out of their homes.
