To mark the 20th anniversary this past week of the devastating July 7 Islamist bombings in London, Netflix has released Attack on London: Hunting the 7/7 Bombers, a four-part documentary series directed by Liza Williams. This compelling and meticulously crafted series revisits the terror attacks that killed 52 people and injured over 700, while also chronicling the intense police investigation that followed. Through survivor testimonies, previously unreleased footage, and interviews with key figures, including former MI5 Director General Eliza Manningham-Buller and former Prime Minister Tony Blair, Attack on London serves up a gripping reconstruction of the events and their aftermath.
However, while the series excels in its storytelling and historical detail, it treads too carefully around the broader societal implications of the attacks, particularly regarding the ideology that drove them and the divisive impact of mass Muslim immigration on the tiny United Kingdom. This caution, reflective of today’s Islamophilic sensibilities of Britain’s political elites, underscores a dangerous reality: the memory and meaning of the 7/7 bombings are being dishonored by the official suppression of any criticism of Islam, which is smeared as “Islamophobic.”
The series opens with a chilling account from survivor Dan Biddle, who describes locking eyes with one of the bombers, Mohammad Sidique Khan, moments before the latter set off the explosion on the Circle Line. Biddle’s harrowing description of the chaos—limbs severed, darkness enveloping the carriage—sets the tone for the documentary’s unflinching portrayal of the human cost. Biddle himself suffered the loss of his legs, which makes for a breath-catching reveal in the documentary.
Other survivors recount their experiences as well, including Mustafa Kurtuldu, who describes the added scrutiny he faced as a Muslim when police searched his bag post-explosion. The series weaves these personal stories into a detailed timeline of the attacks, which saw four suicide bombers—Khan, Shehzad Tanweer, Hasib Hussain, and Jermaine Lindsay—detonate homemade explosives on three Underground trains and a bus during the morning rush hour commute. The bombings, the deadliest in London since World War II, shattered the city’s sense of security and exposed the threat of homegrown jihad.
The documentary excels in its portrayal of the police investigation, which faced the daunting task of identifying the perpetrators, all of whom died in the attacks. A breakthrough came when CCTV footage revealed four men with large backpacks at King’s Cross station. Tracing their movements back to Luton, police found a Nissan Micra containing homemade explosives, leading them to a bomb factory in Leeds. The series highlights the forensic ingenuity and relentless pursuit that identified the bombers, all radicalized, British-born or -raised Muslims.
Episode three shifts to the failed bombings of July 21, 2005 and the tragic police shooting of Jean Charles de Menezes, an innocent Brazilian mistaken for a suspect. This incident, detailed through the perspective of a marksman and archival footage, underscores the chaos and high stakes of the manhunt.
Stylistically, Attack on London balances raw emotion with clinical precision. Director Liza Williams wisely avoids sensationalism, opting for a sober narrative that respects the victims while maintaining a thriller-like pace. The inclusion of the bombers’ own voices, such as a chilling audio from one of the perpetrators, highlights their fanaticism.
This is where the documentary disappoints, albeit predictably. It shies away from a deeper, more honest analysis of the ideological roots of the attacks or the broader implications of the Muslim resistance to integration into Western society. The documentary’s reticence aligns with a cultural climate in which legitimate criticism of Islam or mass Muslim immigration is increasingly taboo and stifled with totalitarian fervor by law enforcement. If you are a white English citizen expressing such concerns about the national identity being fundamentally transformed by surging, unassimilated Muslim immigrant communities, you can expect interrogation, if not arrest for hate speech, in your home at the hands of an entire squad of police officers – while literal mobs of Muslim protesters are allowed to march the streets chanting genocidal pro-Hamas slogans.
This suppression dishonors the memory of the 52 fatal victims of 7/7, in addition to the trauma inflicted on hundreds of others. The attacks were not merely a criminal act but an open declaration of war from evil fanatics who remain an existential threat to the future of the UK and the West more generally. By silencing discussion about Islam’s role in such violence or the cultural tensions arising from dramatic demographic change, political elites like Muslim mayor of London Sadiq Khan and Islamophilic collaborators King Charles and Prime Minister Keir Starmer are ensuring that the true meaning of 7/7 is officially denied. The Netflix documentary series, while powerful, mirrors this avoidance, emphasizing victim narratives and police heroics at the expense of uncomfortable truths. Its 6.9 IMDb rating reflects mixed viewer reactions, with some praising its execution but others criticizing its “cover-up” of jihad’s roots.
Commemorating the attacks, Starmer posted online a statement utterly devoid of any mention of Islam or jihad, referring only to “those who try to divide us.”
To which Dr. David Wood replied, “KEIR STARMER: ‘We honor those who were killed.’ ALSO KEIR STARMER: ‘If you question the ideology of the killers, we will throw you in prison.’”
KEIR STARMER: “We honor those who were killed.”
ALSO KEIR STARMER: “If you question the ideology of the killers, we will throw you in prison.”— Dr. David Wood (@Acts17David) July 7, 2025
Jihad Watch director Robert Spencer added his lugubrious judgment:
… [I]n the 20 years since the July 7 jihad attacks, the jihadis have completely won in Britain. It is now a crime to criticize their motivating ideology, and the complete Islamization of Britain is only a matter of time. Starmer doesn’t dare risk offending the conquered nation’s new overlords.
Attack on London is essential viewing for its vivid retelling of a dark chapter in modern English history, but this reluctance to grapple with the ideological and cultural challenges a full 20 years later leaves a chilling void. As Britain remembers the 7/7 victims, the lessons of that ghastly attack are being undermined by willful ignorance. European political elites must begin taking seriously the anger and frustration of the constituents they so contemptuously dismiss if the continent is ever to avoid the civilizational suicide toward which it is hurtling.

The relentless anti-Semitism issuing from England long ago drained me of any sympathy I might have felt for the Brits.
Let them suffer…..without any help from us, not any lend/lease (which they would never repay anyway).
Do not forget when Britain (and Canada) stood alone against the Nazis.
I haven’t.
Nevertheless,.England has gone over to the Axis over these last 50 years.
You are correct, sir. But, like U.S.A. and Canada, the population is divided approximately 50/50 between the woke left and common-sense conservatives, as indicated by recent elections.
rue enough.. HOWEVER…..
that was a VERY different England at that time, and despite their having gone into deep slumber as a nation, they DID rally strongly once a clear leader stepped up and began to LEAD.
England have gone back into deep slumber, and their sworn enemies/destroyers are making plenty of hay whilst their own sun is shining.
I have watched now for well above a decade as places like Nottingham have gone under the spell of iss lam and their child exploiting practices. Thousands of young girls taken into slavery/captivity because they are female, he whiles local commissioners, Bobs, continue to buy off anyone who will look the other way and ignore the “problem”. This sort of thing is deeply embedded into the culture and social structure of this sect.
And it would seem the highest leadership in England stand in favour of this sort of status quo. The “king”, the Prime Minister, leaders in Parliament,
Before Churchill, there was “peace in our time” Chamberlain.
After WWII was won, Labour threw Churchill under the bus, and sent Jews trying to go to the promised land back to the DP camps.

ALL of you putzes, Don’t accuse me of not knowing my history,
Her is the late Kinky Friedman & His Texas Jewboys explaining us Jews to the thick putzes who just don’t get it …
smarten up, sebby – it’s when those of your ilk SINGLE OUT the one JEWISH nation for deligitimization and demonization and hold ISRAEL and JEWS up to higher standard do we call you out for your hypocrisy and selective outrage. Act accordingly and scram – this forum is for grown-ups.
“I don’t agree with Zionism. I call our radical Islam all the time. I don’t demonize entire groups of people.”
No one cares about your self-righteous B.S. You are the primary example of hypocrisy, especially anti-Israel, anti-Jew and anti-American hypocrisy, on this site. Do us all a favor and go back to your kitty-litter country where you can peddle your 3rd grade level stupidity.
Most of us see right through it. You are losing this fight. You will always be a loser.
Go back to that little strip of kittylitter you ae so fond of called Gaza. I guess when you have nothing intelligent to say all you have left are your 5th grade gay jokes.
Meanwhile I’ll stack the up the upvotes. You can stack up your jew hatred and gay joke downvotes sebby webby.
Really – Goldstein simply makes sweeping comments and goes on – he never goes in depth – but WTF – it’s not OK to be antisemitic and then expect sympathy and empathy when the antisemites are in peril and need of support – that’s what I see in Goldstein’s comment – I am sure he is not a heartless bastard as much as you are a mindless one — now you are off topic which is this promoted documentary of terror in the UK does not mention the terrorists and the peril England and western Europe is in that all nations, especially USA, need to heed –
Starmer is Arabic for Sturmbahnfuhrer . . .
Our cousin was traveling to London by train that day. My wife’s uncle thought he had been killed. Luckily he hadn’t. But many others had been. And now UK and other European countries support Hamas and Iran. The Irony of Fate…
Those evil jihad train bombing evil in London ,England twenty years ago in which many people were murdered and many more had been terribly injured on July 2 , 2005.
What the West also needs is wisdom. As the Bible instructs “Wisdom is better than strength.” Ecclesiastes 9:16. [K.J.V.] Likewise, this same book of the Bible also teaches in 9:18 “Wisdom is better than weapons of war.”
This deception of deceit may be seen, by all those who are willing to see, in the Islamic doctrine of a virgin filled paradise designed specify for the male Muslim jihadist who dies in the jihad for the cause of Islam, in what they so inappropriately call a “martyrdom operation.”
Many a times a jihadist/Muslim is so very deluded that he actually put on his video recording that after he dies in the jihad as a “martyr” he will then in paradise have a “wedding with virgins.” This firm but blind unquestioning folly is the result of such a man believing in deception of a false doctrine. With Light of the Wisdom of Jesus a belief in a “wedding with virgins.” is the outcome of a person accepting as the “truth” an invalid and false. For Jesus taught, “Ye do err, not knowing the scriptures, nor the power of God. For in the resurrection they neither marry nor are given in marriage, but are as the angles in heaven.” Matthew 22:20,30.
A jihadist will after he dies and such a murderous way will have a very hard and harsh “reality check.” For the Bible reveals that “When a wicked man dieth , his expectation… shall parish.” Proverb 11:7. For he will then discover that he was deceived by false doctrine and lie of “a paradise with virgins” and to his shock and horror he will find himself trapped and suffering ,with no hope of escape, in the fires of hell. As the Bible teaches a murder “shall not inherit the kingdom of God,” Galatians 5:21.
This is sad and tragic but it’s the reality of the truth.
Just after those Muslim terrorists die their Islamic suicide /homicide attack in the horrible jihad bombings on July 2, 2005 at the London train station right after they died ,to their shock and horror, they found themselves trapped and suffering in the fires of an awful place the Bible calls “hell.” Luke 16:19-31.
That jihad minded Muslims were dangerous to self and others because that they was indoctrinated with and likewise believed in the doctrine found in the Quran, 44:54. 55:56. 78;31.,of a lust –filled sex paradise with many virgins, in in for each Muslim terrorist use only, because he died as a “martyr” for the cause of Islam. Each jihadist of the day had discovered the hard way that he was instructed in and put his faith in a false doctrine that is from a false religious book of false religion
.This doctrine of a paradise for the jihadist who died fighting for Islam was only an enticing religious story of fiction. The Bible does give warning against giving “heed to fables…” First Timothy 1:4. [K.J.V]
As for dying in a murderous jihad attack, in spite, of the Muslim clerics falsely calling it a “martyrdom operation.” That jihadist after in dies in a jihad murder attack, and learn too late, the truth of Bible with informs its reader that a murderer “will not inherit the Kingdom of God.” Galatians 5:21.
In addition, such false teachers, as those imams and mullahs, who teach and ingrain false yet enticing doctrines as that a lust /sex filled place with virgins into the hearts and minds of others had been predicted in the Bible. For it is written, “For the time will come when they will not endure sound doctrine , but according to their own desires , because they have itching ears ; they will heap up for themselves teachers ;and they will away their ears from the truth and be turned to fables.” Second Timothy 4 : 3,4.
Islamophobia is a word concocted in a CIA wordsmith laboratory. It is a brilliant psy-op word designed to suppress discussion of the existential threat that Islam poses to the West.
Fear of Islam is not a “phobia” but a rational fear based on over a thousand years of terror, savage wars, unrelenting violence and historical record.
Every single day, Moslems commit atrocities somewhere in the world.

The Religion of Peace ™️ is anything but peaceful.
more accurately the religion of pieces……. and lies.
No matter, because God’s Word plainly declares they are without excuse. Since each one of us are made in God”s image, and also that ALL mankind CAN know the God who made us all. Those mawzies who persist in persueing the lies are still responsible for their decisions. Each one have the opportunity to seek and know the God who made them. They mostly are content to blindly follow the load of lies they are constantly fed. When their day or reckoning DOES come round (and it surely will, more certain than the fact the sun will rise in the morning, ) they will stand convicted, without excuse.
Currently in Aldgate there’s an exhibition of its history.
No mention of the most significant event ever.
