I have to give it to Glenn Greenwald: he waited almost 24 hours to start croaking, which shows his sensitivity. But the urge was irresistible, and here we are:
Was the London killing of a British soldier 'terrorism'?
Two men yesterday engaged in a horrific act of violence on the streets of London by using what appeared to be a meat cleaver to hack to death a British soldier. In the wake of claims that the assailants shouted "Allahu Akbar" during the killing, and a video showing one of the assailants citing Islam as well as a desire to avenge and stop continuous UK violence against Muslims, media outlets (including the Guardian) and British politicians instantly characterized the attack as "terrorism".Yes. The Guardian certainly gets a return on its investment.
That this was a barbaric and horrendous act goes without saying, but given the legal, military, cultural and political significance of the term "terrorism", it is vital to ask: is that term really applicable to this act of violence?
And so do the citizens of the fair Albion.
Update: and he is not alone.

The Guardian is only doing what the Ruling Elites want them to do. That is to demonize Western culture, Israel, Christianity and decency. Promote Islam and hedonism.
So far they are doing a great job of it. The people are disarmed and sheeples.
Agreed. Greenwald is just a shill.
I am not sure regarding the warm relationship between the Guardian and the current rulers of UK.
A paid one, of course.
