I'm not denying that he was an angry Muslim nutter doing what he thinks is right. That has already been established. What I'm saying is that the angry Muslim nutter might not be fighting for religious reasons

I got the impression it was less about Jihad and more about raising awareness of the economic and military treatment the West is giving the Middle East, that was from watching the killer speak his mind on the camera of a passerby, while still holding the bloody machete. Strange video. He seemed fairly calm.edit on 23-5-2013 by darkbake because: (no reason given)
Nigeria, home to one in five Africans, has been the continent's most indebted nation. With $36 billion in external debt, 100 million people living on less than a dollar a day, and a fledgling democratic government attempting reforms, Nigeria should have been a strong candidate for debt relief. Yet, in part because of its oil revenues, Nigeria slipped through the cracks of debt relief programs. In 2004, CGD set out to provide analytical support to Nigeria's efforts to persuade creditors to agree to an appropriate debt relief package.

I have not seen the part of the video you are speaking of, do you have a link?
I looked at RT just now and found an article saying the the UK's colonial past may have something to do with it.
rt.com...
Citing police sources, Reuters reported on Thursday morning that officers were examining possible links to Nigeria in the attack. Nigeria was a British colony for over a century before gaining independence in 1960. The UK now has a large Nigerian immigrant population numbering 174,000, according to the Office for National Statistics.
The Centre for Global development state that Nigeria is one of the most indebted nations.

Thank you for the link. I think the part you were refering to was the beginning of the video that the ITV newsreader talks over?
Do you think this is a retaliation for the 'War on Terror?

Typical. The PC manipulation by the media borders on criminal IMHO. It's because they do things like that, that people start thinking that the London terrorist attack is something other than what it is ... a radical muslim terrorist attack.
