There is no 'looks muslim'.
Really?
Just like someone can't look white? Or look black? Or look asian? Or look latino?

Islam is a belief system, an ideology. None of the things you listed have anything to do with a religious ideology...there are physical ethnic traits common to different ethnic groups, but no one "looks" Muslim or Christian or Pagan or Jewish. Religious beliefs cannot be determined by physical traits. You could say he "looks" like an Arab, maybe. That would make more sense...if you believe that all Arabs have brown skin and black hair, which they definitely do not. People make that assumption about Hispanic people too, all the time.
To the OP: It seems as if the media blew their load too early, trying to get the scoop, and didn't bother to confirm anything before they ran the story. It's going to be rather amusing if the guy turns out not to be a member of any potentially "scary" ethnic groups on top of that as well.

Over the past few years, Izzadeen has been in and out of UK's legal system for his radical views. In 2015, he was sent to jail for failing to notify police of his address change, while in early 2016—he landed himself in hot water again for leaving the country without telling British authorities, according to the BBC. And here is the problem: he was given a two-year prison sentence for that infraction. He's still in jail.
This has now been tweeted by multiple journalists.
Channel 4 News's Simon Israel has retracted the identification:

The source I trusted, but ultimately I made a mistake. This time I got it wrong. Abu Izzadeen is in prison.

I'll wait until an official source confirms or denies he is in jail. It shouldn't take much time to do so.

“London mayor says terror attacks ‘part and parcel’ of living in a major city,”
They know who the guy is...but not releasing the name. Why not? They say he acted alone...but arrested 7 others...what gives?
