British PM Theresa May statement on attack on people leaving mosque in London
The Facebook video of British PM Theresa May's statement on 19th June 2017 on the attack on people leaving a mosque in London, https://www.facebook.com/bbcnews/videos/10154789764137217/, is around 7 minutes long. I have transcribed some statements of British PM Theresa May below:
This morning, our country woke to the news of another terrorist attack on the streets of our capital city - the second this month, and every bit as sickening as those which have come before.
It was an attack that once again targeted the ordinary and the innocent going about their daily lives. This time, British muslims, as they left the mosque having broken their fast and prayed together at this sacred time of year. Today, we come together as we have done before, to condemn this act and to state once again that hatred and evil of this kind will never succeed.
...
Our thoughts and prayers this morning are with the family of the man who died and those who were injured. On behalf of the people of London and the whole country, I want to thank the police and the emergency services once again for responding as they always do, with great professionalism and courage.
...
This was an attack on muslims near their place of worship and like all terrorism in whatever form it shares the same fundamental goal. It seeks to drive us apart and break the precious bonds of solidarity and citizenship that we share in this country. We will not let this happen.
...
[We cherish] the freedom to practise religion in peace. This morning we have seen a sickening attempt to destroy those freedoms and to break those bonds of citizenship that define our United Kingdom.

Ravi: Good to see British PM May treating terror against Muslims in Britain in this tough manner.
