Is there really no explanation for Khalid Masood’s lone attack on Westminster Palace, as Scotland Yard sleuths say? Masood could not change his “blackness”, nor the reality of racism in England.

The Islamic State of Iraq and the Levant (ISIL) immediately took credit for the attack, claiming that Masood was "a soldier of the Islamic State"....
