The Islamic medieval fascists were not only targeting the center of London, they were targeting Muslims who live in London.
From Johann Hari (http://www.johannhari.com/ post deleted)
The fight against Islamic fundamentalism became clearer. Anybody who tells you these bombers are fighting for the rights of Muslims in Iraq, occupied Palestine or Chechnya should look at the places they chose to bomb. Aldgate? The poorest and most Muslim part of the country. Edgware Road? The centre of Muslim and Arab life in London and, arguably, Europe.
Does anybody need greater evidence that these Islamic fundamentalists despise Muslims who choose to live in free societies, and they would enslave Muslims everywhere if they were given the opportunity? Nor is this tit-for-tat revenge for deaths in Iraq: very similar jihadist plots have been foiled in France and Germany, countries that opposed the invasion. Anybody who doubted that the fight against Islamic fundamentalism – a murderous totalitarian ideology – was always our fight should know better now.
He then talks about groups from the mosque going to give blood at the local hospital.
And this time, the response by most Muslims leaders was unambiguous and unequivocal condemnation of the bombers. Though Al Jazerra closed their comment section
Muslim Association of Britain president Ahmed Sheikh said on the BBC
… 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.
CNN also gives other Muslim reactions to the London bombing
Update
Britain’s top Muslim scholars are drafting a fatwa stripping those behind the grisly London blasts, if proved Muslims, from the right to call themselves Muslims.
Great to hear. Good start. Where is the Fatwa for Osama Bin Laden?
UPDATE.
It’s not all good news
Check out this discussion thread on the Umah.com forum
In actuality there are only two plausible entities likely to have planned and executed the bombings. They are either The United States of America, or indeed an Islamic militant group linked to Al – Qaida.
the only Al Qaeda cell to ever be uncovered was a front for the Mossad
they’re also blaming the British govt for bombing their own citizens. As Salman Al-Farsi
Ummah Moderator with 6,841 posts says
My dear Muslims, your govt did this to make you all drop down on your knees and become defeatest, and they have been successful. Well done
He does get reprimanded by one person
I find it hard to believe that a moderator on ummah could post such a thing. That is quite disgraceful. Personally I think you should resign.
but you see the person who criticised the moderator had his account disabled.
Here’s a last gem for you on another thread
These stories are becoming pathetic by the day People get it through your head: There is no Al Qaida!!!! – it is a US invention to create an illusion of a faceless enemy and booooogey man to justify the war on Islam under the pretext of TERROR
I guess it’s easier to live in denial and blame someone outside your community and pretend you’re only the victim than looking inside and admit that this is evil there, this seems to absolve you from taking responsibility and doing something about it.
The thing is if the Islamic fundamentalist fascists ever do take power in a Muslim country, it will be the Muslims in that country that will suffer the most, not westerners.
