      > We’re hearing now from Andy Burnham, the mayor of Greater Manchester, who tells the BBC what’s happened is a “serious incident”.

      I fucking hate this country man.

      Another very, very worrying concern. On the holiest day of the Jewish calendar, to have a potential violent crime committed is beyond rhetoric pale

      Fucking hell. This is worrying. I hope the victim survives… Absolutely horrific news

      >Some more now from Manchester Mayor Andy Burnham, who advises listeners to “avoid the area”.

      >”At the same time, I can give some assurance that the immediate danger appears to be over,” he adds.

      >He says the incident was dealt with “effectively” by those on site, and by Greater Manchester Police.

      There’s videos online already showing someone has died. The police shot the person who done it and said everyone to clear as he had a bomb on him. This is so sad. Since when did more violence make anything better.

      I’m hoping the people who have been stabbed are not in critical & will survive. My sympathies don’t extend to the perpetrator.

      Edit: it seems the perpetrator is dead

      Now’s not the time for pointing fingers.

      I just hope that those stabbed pull through. Absolutely shocking that this still happens in our country.

      More details are coming out:

      >GMP has confirmed the incident happened outside Heaton Park synagogue, on Middleton Road.

      >The suspect did not gain access to the building. He has been shot at the scene by armed police.

      > His condition is not known, but he is believed to be alive. It’s not clear how many people have been injured in this incident but one member of the public has been stabbed, the force said.

      > Speaking on BBC Radio Manchester, Andy Burnham says a car was also driven at members of the public outside the synagogue, with four people injured.

      I was driving to Manchester the other day and my sat nav took me through a clearly Jewish area. Chaps in magnificently large hats gave it away. Enclaves like this seem to be an obvious target for Islamic terrorism and im surprised we dont hear about things happening more often.

      horrible. people are sometimes confused when i mention security at the synagogue gates (at mine you also get questioned sometimes), and this is why!!!!!

      I hope those injured fully recover and those who perpetrate this crime are caught and prosecuted to the fullest extent of the law.

      I don’t know what the point of this was it’s just going to make more people hate you and feel un-sympathetic to your cause.

      Please delete this, such articles will increase the islamophobic rhetoric here in this sub

      I knew this would happen in the UK eventually. I knew it. For 2 years I’ve been sick with worry KNOWING this would happen. And I’m not even Jewish and I fucking knew this would happen.

      To British Jews today i am so so sorry. I’ve been reading a lot of Jewish blogs etc online for a while now and I know you’ve all been preparing for Yom Kippur and how important it is to you.

      I just feel sick.

      I really hope that the victims will pull through.

      This is genuinely worrying as this could trigger all sorts of problems. Reform will definitely feed on this and they will absolutely win more sympathy.

      This is similar to an attack on a church during Christmas or Easter for Christians.

      Violent attacks on innocent people based solely on their religious identity are always abhorrent, but deliberately choosing a holy day makes it even more egregious.

    22. Familiar-Woodpecker5 on

      I’ve just seen a very disturbing video. Police shouting he had a bomb on him and they shot him.

    23. MC897 on

      I’m bored shitless of this rubbish. Farage is a guarantee, regardless. And stop trying to find a reason why not.

    24. ___xXx__xXx__xXx__ on

      I’m sure we’re all going to be super respectful and not play some cynical game of seeing how we can best leverage this for our political cause.

    25. dhadigadu_vanasira on

      Someone globalised the intifada, surely we all knew this was going to happen!

      On one of their holiest days, nevertheless. God save!

      Videos are circulating on Instagram, where the police shoot the suspect as he tries to get up from the ground. In the background you can hear someone shouting “Shoot him he has a bomb, shoot him now” In which the police then shoot him. You cannot tell the attackers ethnicity in the video.Also be warned anyone who searches the video, you can see victims lying on the floor and it doesn’t look good. Honestly be warned I wish I had not viewed it.

      This is the logical conclusion of the slogan “From the river to the sea”…

      Hatred.
