The devout Muslim who was arrested in the Ariana Grande jihad bombing of the Manchester arena was “known to authorities.” Sources said he was not thought to be an immediate threat. Of course not. Why would he be? if Islam is not the problem, why would he be a threat?

So who does the UK consider a threat? Well, me for one, because I oppose jihad terror. It’s why they banned me and Robert Spencer, Michael Savage, and, at one time, Geert Wilders.

Latest on investigation into Manchester concert bombing

CBS News, May 23, 2017:

LONDON – CBS News confirmed Tuesday that the man who blew himself up the previous night at an Ariana Grande concert in Manchester, England, was 23-year-old Salman Abedi, who was known to British authorities prior to the attack.

In a generic statement posted online, the Islamic State of Iraq and Syria (ISIS) claimed responsibility for Abedi’s suicide bomb attack, which left 22 people dead, including children, at one of the entrances to the Manchester Arena.

Officials said one man was arrested Tuesday in southern Manchester in connection with the attack, and urged people to avoid the center of the city as raids continued at addresses around the city.

Police and British Prime Minister Theresa May made it clear the focus of the investigation was to determine whether the bomber “was acting alone, or was part of a wider group.”

ISIS issued its claim of responsibility in a brief, generic statement that did not identify the bomber and appeared to get some of the facts of the attack wrong. It claimed a “caliphate soldier managed to place a number of devices among a gathering of crusaders in Manchester, and detonated them.”

Officials say there was only one explosion, and there have been no indications that other devices were discovered at or near the arena.

U.S. intelligence sources told CBS News they were exercising caution on the early claim of responsibility from ISIS. Authorities are still looking into whether it was a killer who acted alone or who might have had some level of support from the terror network. U.S. intelligence officials were offering assistance in the investigation, as is standard practice in any case involving a close ally.

ISIS has repeatedly called for its supporters in the West to attack “soft targets” like sports events and concerts in any way possible.

Previous attacks in Europe and the U.S. have been claimed by individuals who support ISIS and have made contact with its members, but who were not directly supported or guided by the terror network.

Manchester police confirmed the arrest of a 23-year-old man in the southern Chorlton neighborhood of the city on Tuesday morning. The suspect taken into custody was not identified, but police said the arrest was linked to the bombing. Witnesses said the man was smiling as he was apprehended.

Police also confirmed that officers had conducted a controlled explosion at the scene of a separate raid connected to the arena attack in the Fallowfield neighborhood, in south Manchester.

Theo Brown, who lives near the Fallowfield address, told CBS News he heard a loud explosion and then saw about 50 law enforcement officers in the street.

The bomb wielded by Abedi was designed to kill and maim as many people as possible; many of the survivors suffered shrapnel wounds and ball bearings were found at the scene.

There was security at the concert, but the bomber apparently didn’t try to get into the venue, instead blowing himself up in an entrance foyer area as concertgoers flooded out of the arena. Prime Minister May said the attacker had deliberately chosen “his time and place to cause maximum carnage” in the young crowd.

The best way to deal with this is to let it be known amongst Muslims that any Terrorists remains will be Cremated together with a pigs head and the ashes given to their parents.
The ashes will be “Haram” unclean and they won’t go to Paradise.

You had better check on that. From my knowledge, the fundamentalist Muslims (Salafis) actually don’t care about the pig. It is just unclean. – like a rat to us. It is a Western myth to assume any more. They go to paradise straightaway ( al Jannah)

You said “Witnesses said the man was smiling as he was apprehended” FAKE. The nutjob blew himself up. If you cant get the basics right why should anyone trust any other thing you write about. Britain doesn’t need your other kind of extremism.

Do make some sort of effort into understanding that there is more than one person involved. Perhaps you were spoon fed in school, this is reality, you will have to think on occasion.

When the mosques start to patrol their own and report we then might have a chance.

Arianna Grande, while furtively licking displayed donuts in a donut shop said she hated America and hated Americans. It’s still on youtube with over 8,000,000 views. Maybe she’s not too unhappy this happened. After all, it was committed by the sworn haters of America and Americans who should all die.

BTW, she should have been arrested for assault. If you spit on someone, that is assault. You also don’t know where that mouth has been so anyone inadvertently eating one of those donuts needs to be tested including STDs which can be found in the mouth. The owner was interviewed but I haven’t watched that yet. She should have sued. I bet her business suffered.

They still don’t get it…. explosives contain pig fat as a stabilizer. When they blow themselves up, their body parts have been covered in it…..too bad…so sad….CYA!

Apparently this cowardly savage was adjudged by the police to not be a threat? Lets face the facts, every Muslim is a potential threat to humanity. Some Muslims will become terrorists, some Muslims will not become terrorists but all Muslims have the instructions of what to do that come from the Quran and the Sharia. A Muslim is a believer in Islam so that makes them ALL suspects.
