The face of islam...

Horrible - yes...but glad to see you are ok dude...

[prairiebreeze]

May God bless and heal them.

Our determination against these murderous animals has been strengthened by this cowardly attack.

We will not falter, we will not fail, we will prevail.

My sister is there, shaken but all is ok. Says few police there due to them being in Scotland for security.

Says transportation a mess.

I'm out of words for the moment.

Regards, Ivan

[Army Air Corps]

Glad that you are okay. Do you have any friends or relatives who may have been in the area? This one is for you.

May God protect you.
You all are in our prayers....We especially pray for those still trapped in the subway.

[MadIvan]

So far no one I know has been hurt - I am making enquiries, but my parents and sister, luckily, are in Singapore.

Regards, Ivan

[Pete'sWife]

Many thanks for keeping up up to date on this.

I am quite sure it was timed very precisly to coincide with a reduced police presence. May God curse all terrorists to everlasting hell. Prayers for London and her people.

Damn, I'm getting madder by the minute!

I have a good friend from Canada who just arrived in London last week for a vacation, and I'm beside myself with worry. :(

Just got into work in Manhattan. Security is beefed up like crazy in the subways. We have an office in London and are trying to find out if the people are okay there. Prayers for all the people in London. As I watched the TV this morning I am amazed at the British People's calmness and resolve. God Bless our British Brothers and Sisters. We stand with you always!

A customer came into my business this morning saying her grand-daughter is over there right now. No word about her safety.

(BTW, she is traveling Europe right now on money she made suing the police who maced her at the G-8 summit in Portland a few years ago.)

[Right_in_Virginia]

Words fail me...but not my resolve.

We're praying for you all today.

[Antoninus]

London is in our prayers today, Ivan. May God bless and protect you all.

Ivan..the damage from the explosiona could well keep the tubes shut down for some time, until repairs can be made...given the various locales, what's the impact to the city/economy?..if much of the underground is closed for seveal weeks?
