Muslim leaders join condemnation
Muslim leaders have condemned the attacks on London and said they fear their communities could now fall prey to vigilante attacks.
Muslim Association of Britain president Ahmed Sheikh said the attacks would make the Muslim community less safe.
He said women in headscarves might be in particular danger and warned all Muslims to be especially vigilant.
Muslim News editor Ahmed Versi noted one of London's biggest Muslim areas, around Aldgate East, had been targeted.
Mr Sheikh said 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."
"Muslims have to be vigilant now, especially the mosques, and I hope the police will increase security" Ahmed Versi Muslim News
He said the police should consider extra protection for mosques and Islamic schools and said Muslims, particularly women in headscarves, should be vigilant and avoid unnecessary journeys.
"It is scary. A tiny element of the community will make use of this. It is a blow to us, to all of us. It is a moment of sadness and we send our condolences to the families of those who have been killed or injured."
Mr Versi said he had already received one threatening e-mail about the blasts.
"There might be some increase in attacks on the Muslim community especially visible aspects of Islam like mosques, community centres and women with headscarves.
"Recently there have been a lot of attacks on Muslim women on buses in London, it has increased during the last few months."
But he said the immediate Muslim revulsion at the attacks could help calm the situation.
"I don't think there'll be as high a number of attacks as after 11 September because Muslims have come out very strongly, especially Muslim leaders, condemning the attacks.
"I'm sure many Muslims will have been injured as well... one of the bombs - at Aldgate - was near to the east London mosque, it's a very heavy Muslim area.
"Muslims have to be vigilant now, especially the mosques, and I hope the police will increase security on mosques and Islamic centres."

Tony Blair spent so much effort on getting Bush to force the suicidal "Road Map" on Israel. Blair's wife has openly "understood" ie sided with the "Palestinian" murderers- I am really shocked that this is how they were paid back.
Why it would almost make me believe that 9/11 had nothing to do with Israel but just with the cult of murderous savages roaming the Earth.
A cult that- if we don't take care of- will be our extinction.
There was no reason to complain until you found it necessary to make yourself extremely annoying.
Glad now I didn't read your spam. Based on your replies to myself and others, it was probably a useless waste of time. Thanks for alerting me to your irrelevance.
Is it a surprise this round-about rationalizing would start?
Blaming those who dare stand up to EVIL like this is like a kid blaming Mommy for hurting himself riding a bike because she bought it for him.
Ya, right after they finish scraping the dead off the street and walls of the tube. They're right on it, dude.
Have the Palestinians started their street celebrations? Haven't seen anything on the TV news.
These types of 'condemnation' are lip service only.
Lying for the advancement of Islam. Any Koran-following Muslim knows the drill; do whatever it takes to defeat the Infidel.
Muslims have to be vigilant now, especially the mosques, and I hope the police will increase security on mosques and Islamic centres."
Good idea!!! Lets build 30 foot fences around them, and put prison guards on the remparts, guns pointed inward.
'nuff said! Just D@mn!
Have you been drinking?
I got your 8,400 plus words the first time, thank you.
I'm still waiting for an outcry from 9/11.
Sorry, don't buy it.
(And I do think they screwed themselves utterly with the timing of this one.)
Their 'holy quran' teaches this behavior. -
I just had to delete what I'd really like to say. God help us all! Including these terrorist scum.
Thanks for your note!
I agree with your second paragraph.
We all know that this is the standard BS muslim cover story.
Pretend to be outraged in public, while supporting terrorism behind the scenes.
Come to think of it, that's remarkably similar to what the Democrats are doing!
"From what I read, there doesn't appear to be a whole lot of, read any, concern for non-muslims who have been impacted or run greater risks than paranoid vigilante attacks that this clown fears. "
I think I'll trump him. My concern is for the vigilantes themselves. What if they are caught or injured? This could cause them serious problems in their lives. And I blame it on the muslims. If the muslims weren't animals, and weren't making targets of themselves, there would be no problems for the vigilantes.
Just the ones that didn't read the 'book'.
"WWII? That is much older than that. Try 1812/British War or so. Stop giving the WW undue credit! ;-D"
Ungh. The original quote is: "We have met the enemy and he is ours."
A cartoon strip, Pogo I believe, twisted the quote.
