In Russell Square at 2.00pm on today Muslims and non-Muslims will gather together to remember those killed by the London bombings and those killed every day by George Bush’s “war on terror”, and to show that we are united in opposing the racism and anti-Islamic hysteria which is being generated with the aim of scapegoating a whole community for the actions of the London bombers.

I was there stewarding. There were some good speakers. George Galloway MP (someone I don't usually have much time for) suggested that rather than there being too much politics in mosques, there wasn't enough and that perhaps, if young Muslims were more engaged in the political process and felt more included, the sort of alienation that leads people to blow up trains would be diminished.
It gave me food for thought.

Iraq war support 'put UK at risk'
Supporting the US-led invasion of Iraq put the UK more at risk from terrorist attack, a report has said.
The Royal Institute of International Affairs and the Economic and Social Research Council report also said the invasion boosted al-Qaeda.

a lot of people, mainly in newspapers, did say that it had nothing to do with Iraq and that they were just intent on killing for the sake of it. a naive attitude at best and a very dangerous one at worst. it's attitudes like that that will mean this situation gets worse.

June Report Led Britain to Lower Its Terror Alert
"Less than a month before the London bombings, Britain's top intelligence and law enforcement officials concluded that "at present there is not a group with both the current intent and the capability to attack the U.K.""

A confidential report by the Joint Terrorist Analysis Centre, a group of Britain's top security experts, claimed there was no group poised or able to perpetrate a terrorist attack on the UK.

just because they didn't believe there was a credible threat doesn't mean they were right.

A letter to the terrorists
Hassan, a young Muslim born and raised in Yorkshire, offers a heartfelt response to last week's attacks on London
Dear dead or alive terrorists (As Salaam Alaikum doesn't apply to you),
Just wanted you to know I'm a young Muslim and I heard about you on the news again today. We all did. It's so painful to know I've grown up so close to the same Leeds streets as you. I was born in the same hospital as one of you, St Luke's, but we took different routes in life. Somehow ... life will go on. And in my heart, I really believe that one day London and all of us will be stronger. But never because of you and what you have done.
I can confirm that since that morning of Thursday July 7, you have not saved one single Muslim's life in your phoney war for freedom....

UK Muslims issue bombings fatwa
More than 500 British Muslim religious leaders and scholars have issued a fatwa in response to the London bombs.
The religious decree expresses condolences to the families of the victims of the atrocity and wishes the injured a speedy recovery.
It states Islam condemns the use of violence and the destruction of innocent lives and says suicide bombings are "vehemently prohibited".
The fatwa was issued by the British Muslim Forum (BMF) outside Parliament.

He'll say anything to get the last word in.
My gripe was people moan about spamming the forums,when axxxr is doing it himself,all over the place,new topics about how Bush this and Blair that,yea take the piss by all means but a joke is only funny for so long.
Maybe im wasting my time writing this as im talkin to people who prolly think the twins towers were brought down by planted demo charges,or maybe the 4 suicide bombers were paid by the british and american goverments,for some strange reason  keepin us on our toes?
So if u wanna waste ur life away sitting in front of a computer calling people a 'dickhead' and 'fool' because he executed his right to 'freedom of speech',then i'll leave u to it...
