Sick terror supporters used the attack, where at least one person has been killed and several injured, to urge for more atrocities on the West.
The string of texts were sent to 225 members of a WhatsApp group called ‘War news/Ummah news’ in the wake of the terror attack, where a van ploughed into Muslim worshippers in the early hours of this morning.
During the sick rant, ISIS sympathisers questioned why the attacker, who was armed with a knife, had not been shot by police like the London Bridge attackers.

“Then how come the Police never shot a Kaafir [non-believer].
“Oh Muslims you need to wake up the war is starting now in your own streets outside your own Masajids.
“Your elders could be killed, your sisters could be attacked."
