‘We, the undersigned British Muslim imams, organisations and individuals, wish to extend our condolences and deepest sympathy to the family of Drummer Lee Rigby, killed in Wednesday’s outrageous attack in Woolwich.

We share the absolute horror felt by the rest of British society at the sick and barbaric crime that was committed in the name of our religion. We condemn this heinous atrocity in the strongest possible terms. It is a senseless act of pure depravity worthy of nothing but contempt. There can be no justification for murder.

Imams and Muslim organisations have done a great deal to speak out over the evils of terrorism over many years. But seeing what we have seen unfold over the last few days, we cannot afford to be complacent. Community-led discussions will be essential in the days and weeks ahead, to work out what more can be done to combat this problem.

Already we have seen extremists seeking to capitalise upon Wednesday’s terrible act. There have been several attacks reported against mosques and Muslim citizens. The hate-fuelled individuals behind such attacks wish to polarise and tear apart our great country for their own sick ends. They should be isolated and subject to the full force of the law.

We urge all communities to remain calm and vigilant today. We stand with you, and with other faith, political and community leaders, in urging our fellow citizens not to be taken in by the mindless rantings of the (few) extremists in our midst.

As we have shown as a nation in the past, we the British people are not so easily fooled; nor are we so easily divided. The overwhelming majority of the Muslim community stands united with the rest of society in condemning this awful tragedy.

Once again, our thoughts and condolences are with the family and friends of Lee Rigby at this difficult time.’

Dear Imams,

Repent and be baptized. Then, we’ll talk.

And behind closed doors those imams are doing the Jihad Shuffle of victory over an infidel.

Having not noticed any real time condemnation, I’m going to label this a convenient and insincere reaction to the blowback their getting.

"There can be no justification for murder."

Well, actually Sharia proscribes just such activities for the parties involved.

Muslims need to renounce jihad before any apology can be considered.

True enough, if there are Muslims being killed for no good reason, that's murder; but Infidels are another matter.
Infidels must be subjugated converted of killed. And killing Infidels who resist Islam is not murder. Read the Koran and Hadiths.
But these Imams know that; and lying and deceiving the hated Infidel is not a problem for a Muslim. Muslims owe Infidels nothing but contempt. And using our naive Infidel knowledge of Islam to their advantage is what Muslims should be doing, and are doing. -Tom

Islamic Cleric Calls UK Soldier’s Beheading “A Courageous And Heroic Act”

Followers of Islam, like the current occupier of the Oval Office, talk out of both sides of their mouths, with forked tongue.

It's called Al-Takeyya.

No hurry to speak up...no surprise. I guess they needed to do their focus groups first.

...and one other thing. If a bunch of church kids start talking about blowing up stuff to other kids - THEY DON’T - because they know that they will be turned in.

But mosques seem to be “safe places”, where such talk is ignored by those who do not want to participate. Yes, once in a great while, someone is turned in - but the ONLY case that I can remember was the kid’s FATHER doing it. Someone who didn’t come to the UK to take it over, but rather to try to provide for his kids (some thanks he got).

So the mosques need to do MORE now. They need to allow MONITORING of their activities - because the right to privacy is a TWO WAY STREET. If you want to be left alone, then don’t go planning terrorist activities, or, even worse, justifying them.

In New York, Mayor Guilini and then Bloomberg, did monitor those activities. They did it not because they had a problem with your religion, but because they were elected, both of them, primarily TO KEEP PEOPLE SAFE, and they did their job.

Perhaps the “Muzzies” are frightened for going too far. Little do they know they have no real reason to fear as no significant number of Westerners will do a d*mned thing.

““We share the absolute horror felt by the rest of British society at the sick and barbaric crime committed in the name of our religion. We condemn this heinous atrocity in the strongest possible terms”

Did they issue fatwahs out for radicals? I thought not. This is lying to the non-blievers in an effort to prevent blowback.
