London: YouAintNoMuslimBruv became Britain’s top trending Twitter hashtag Sunday after a passer-by shouted the dismissive remark at a knife-wielding man in a London Underground station.

…

Police are treating Saturday’s attack at Leytonstone Tube station in east London as a “terrorist incident.”

…

In video footage, an onlooker is heard shouting “You ain’t no Muslim, bruv” as the 29-year-old suspect, reeling after being hit with an electric stun gun, is pinned down and handcuffed.

…

The dismissive retort was the top trending hashtag in both London and the whole United Kingdom. Twitter user Arcanequaint called it “the most British response to a terrorist attack ever.”

…

Another called Russburt wrote: “One man does more for community cohesion with one sentence than any government initiative.”

…

Twitter user Jackie Nn wrote: “youaintnomuslimbruv – so proud to be a Londoner. True Muslims don’t try and kill innocent bystanders. Peace to true Muslims.”

…

The male voice heard on the amateur mobile phone footage said: “You ain’t no Muslim, bruv! You’re no Muslim, bruv! You ain’t no Muslim!”

…

Onlookers also shouted “Drop it, you fool“, referring to the knife, and “Who is this idiot?”

LONDON (AFP) – British police are investigating as a “terrorist incident” the stabbing of three people at a London Underground train station on Saturday (Dec 5), which left a pool of blood in the ticket hall.

One eyewitness at Leytonstone station shouted “You’re no Muslim” at the lone male suspect as he was pinned down by police officers, amateur video footage showed.

The attack came at the end of a week in which the British parliament voted to extend air strikes on the Islamic State group (ISIS) from Iraq into Syria.

Britain’s Counter-Terrorism Command is investigating the stabbings.

“We are treating this as a terrorist incident,” CTC leader Commander Richard Walton said in a police statement.

One man was arrested following the incident at the suburban east London station.
