Muslim Response to London Bombing

Posted on the July 10th, 2005 under Uncategorized by Tohir

I’d like to echo the Muslim response in Cape Town to the London bombing, particularly that of Shaykh Riyaad Walsh and Masjidul Quds (independent of each other):

Muslims, unlike most governments, condemn all forms of violence and terrorism. The life of a person in Iraq is equal to the life of a person in London.

We forsee this as a 9/11 style justification for the introduction of terror laws in the UK, and another illegal invasion in either Sudan, Iran or Syria.

The biggest casualty in all of this will be the image of Islam – which we won’t allow. Jack Straw and all the media are speaking of the attack having all the hallmarks of al-Qaeda. We don’t want hallmarks, we want EVIDENCE before you go about disparaging Islam.
