Another major (presumably terrorist) incident. Now in Manchester.

Indeed. However, they're wrongly referring to it as another "terror attack".

What's happened now in Finsbury Park is fundamentally NOT a terror attack, nor was the idiot who carried it out, a 'terrorist'; it was a revenge attack against Muslims (by some unhinged loon), in retaliation for the recent [bonafide] terror attacks, committed on various innocent people, by Muslims.

Those two things are very different!

Regardless, however, it's dreadful to see such abominations on humanity taking place again so soon after the last incidents. And I agree, sadly that won't be the last of it either.

No, it was a 'lone wolf' attack deliberately designed to instil terror into a targeted Muslim community. The Westminster attack was another lone wolf terrorist attack but with no specific target; apart from causing maximum mayhem and harm.

It is to the credit of the Muslim community at Finsbury Park that they were able to apprehend the perpetrator and turn him over to the police, and didn't lynch him there and then.

I suspect that was what he may have been hoping for, in some deluded vision of 'martyrdom' to justify his actions.

That may have been the net result, simply by way of his actions. However, I disagree that the scum involved this time was a 'terrorist', in the true sense of the word, certainly in the way of those who act on behalf of ISIS.

He was simply one of the many thousands of abhorrent racists, who sadly populate this country, and who need little excuse to abuse and attack innocent blacks and Muslims. That's rather different from an out-and-out terrorist, acting on behalf of an organised terror group.

Agreed, although I think he got a good kicking before the police arrived. The murdering vermin deserves a damn sight more than that, and I hope he gets it!
