| Muslim leaders join condemnation Muslim women in headscarves are warned to be vigilant Muslim leaders have condemned the attacks on London and said they fear their communities could now fall prey to vigilante attacks. Muslim Association of Britain president Ahmed Sheikh said the attacks would make the Muslim community less safe. He said women in headscarves might be in particular danger and warned all Muslims to be especially vigilant. Muslim News editor Ahmed Versi noted one of London's biggest Muslim areas, around Aldgate, had been targeted. Mr Sheikh said the unique good relationship Muslims had with the government and society was threatened. "The person who did this was targeting along with wider British society the Muslim community, ruining the good relationship we have." He said the police should consider extra protection for mosques and Islamic schools and said Muslims, particularly women in headscarves, should be vigilant and avoid unnecessary journeys. "It is scary. A tiny element of the community will make use of this. It is a blow to us, to all of us. It is a moment of sadness and we send our condolences to the families of those who have been killed or injured." Sir Iqbal Sacranie of the Muslim Council of Britain said he utterly condemned the attacks. "We are simply appalled and want to express our deepest condolences to the families. "These terrorists, these evil peoplewant to demoralise us as a nation and divide us. "All of must unite in helping the police to hunt these murderers down." Mr Sacranie admitted "there may well be elements who want to exploit this tragedy and incite hatred". Attacks danger Mr Versi said he had already received one threatening e-mail about the blasts. "There might be some increase in attacks on the Muslim community especially visible aspects of Islam like mosques, community centres and women with headscarves. "Recently there have been a lot of attacks on Muslim women on buses in London, it has increased during the last few months." But he said the immediate Muslim revulsion at the attacks could help calm the situation. "I don't think there'll be as high a number of attacks as after 11 September because Muslims have come out very strongly, especially Muslim leaders, condemning the attacks. "I'm sure many Muslims will have been injured as well... one of the bombs - at Aldgate - was near to the east London mosque, it's a very heavy Muslim area. "Muslims have to be vigilant now, especially the mosques, and I hope the police will increase security on mosques and Islamic centres." Other religious leaders also offered their condolences and condemned the attack. Chief Rabbi Sir Jonathan Sacks said: "These terrible events have brought home to us the full evil that terror represents. "It is not the weapon of the weak against the strong but the rage of the angry against the defenceless and innocent. It is an evil means to an evil end. "I will be asking all our congregations to say special prayers for the victims and their families this Sabbath. We grieve for the dead, pray for the injured and share our tears with the bereaved." |
Damn. All I can say, at least for now. My heart goes out to the Brits.

I just woke up a little while ago and saw the news first thing. I'm truly sorry...
I was going to ask yesterday if the US could borrow Tony Blair for a couple of years... but I suppose you'll be needing him now.

This just ruined my day (probably my week, and my month). My deepest condolences to the British people, the vitims, and their families. When is this fucking madness going to stop? 
Egypt's envoy in Iraq killed
As if we needed more, "Egypt's top envoy to Iraq, Ihab al-Sherif, has been killed, the country's information ministry confirmed Thursday.
The announced came after a Web posting attributed to al Qaeda in Iraq claimed the diplomat was dead.
"We, the al Qaeda in the land of the two rivers, announce that the verdict of God against the ambassador of the infidels, the ambassador of Egypt, has been executed, praise be to God," the statement said."
if this is to do with the olympics (and i don't really think it is...) if you were in paris, would you be feeling a bit fukd up right now?
because if they put bombs in both cities to explode depending on who won, that means there's a load of un detonated bombs in paris :|

God I thought we'd escaped all the bullshit about al-Qaida but I was wrong!
Just seen the Charles Clarke (Home Secretary) interview and they asked him whether this attack might have had anything to do with the UK involvement in Iraq...
He said that they would have attacked us anyway. He said their aim is to destroy our democracy and way of life! He says that Spain was attacked in Madrid and they only had a little bit to do with Iraq (!)
Mi5 and the police are subserviant to the Home Office - go figure why nobody had a clue about this with this joker in charge of them!
Surely the BBC can find someone who knows what they are talking about?! Here's a hint...dont ask politicians!
i find it totally f'n ridculous that high-level politicians are saying that this is attack on all of the nations, the civilized world, and humanity and the that the attacks are indiscriminate and against innocent civilians. bollocks.
1. the attacks were not against all nations. they were against england, a 'coalition' country. non-coalition countries were not attacked.
2. the attacks were not 'indiscriminate'. see above.
3. the attacks were not against innocent civilians. the english just re-elected tony blair. they had a chance to throw him out but they didn't.
i feel sorry for the people that lost loved ones and the injured, but not the nation (if that's at all possible.)

| Originally posted by Michael19 no chance in hell this was olympic related i think. More to coincide with the G8 summit. I suppose the olympic announced was just a bonus. |
I just woke up and that's the main headline on Washington Post. Imagine waking up, still kind of not all there yet, and getting online out of habit and seeing those pictures and the huge 'LONDON BOMBING' headline. I was a bit thrown off. I don't think it has anything to do with the Olympics to be honest, it's just good timing. And the death toll numbers are going to be off for a little while, everyone's just making assumptions for now, I'm sure we'll find out the real numbers later on tonight.
London has seen 126 terrorist attacks in recent history by not just the IRA. Popular front for Liberation, Hamas, Palestinian Islamic Jihad and now Al Quaeda apparentlty. so don't you kids start suckin each others dicks being Islamic Extremist appologists for something as coherent as indescriminate mass murder. the same coherency the WORLD has experienced for decades from these "assholes of the fringe"
this statement here is the dumbest knee-jerk i've seen so far about this though

Well mate, if member of your family were out in San Francisco or wherever the fuck your from, and for an example a bomb went off on a tram or something and they died would they be innocent? They might of voted for Bush or Kerry fuck knows it's a possibility you will probably never face. |

| Originally posted by Yoepus You realize if there was a terrorist attack in San Fransico and you were one of the killed I could say the same thing. Enjoy hell. |

| Originally posted by NYCTrancefan I was thinking the same thing but then I realize I'm better than that. If this attack had happened in Paris, Berlin, heck Brussels I would have still been pissed off because I know the people who do this were sitting somewhere celebrating in a free and democratic society, whose ideals they exploited to murder others. |
