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."

Yeah, especially the ones carrying the bombs.
Is this a case of the BCC saying, "Don't attack us. We're doing our best to protect you."
I have broadband.
Pity those who don't.
"Returning" is a sure death wish! Those who have
returned to Iraq/Afghanistan are viewed as traitors
who fled to enemy territory. They're in the same
category as the Americans/Brits who were found
fighting with the Al-quaida. If the Big Guys who
returned to help put the country back on its feet
are hounded and in line for assassination, of what
value is the life of a LittleArab? He gets the
Heads Off treatment.
I agree with the other posters who declare these
people should stand up, be counted, and make a
decided effort to help the West squash the terrorists.
If that means squealing on "Uncle Hussein" so be it!
They made a choice to move to a free environment; now
they have to pay their dues and contribute to that
freedom via any info they have re mosque activities,
rumors heard in the neighborhood, at the local Eastern
food store, etc.
We should franchise Dick Durbin's version of Club Gitmo.
If Islam means "submission", they can submit to us, one way or another.
Just what we need on a breaking news thread-- six or seven yards of text to scroll through.
He's referring to the 5.
That means perhaps England will only have 1, I guess.
It is said that perhaps one in ten Muslems think our Western civilization should be destroyed. That's about 100,000,000 of those bas**rds. IMHO, we should round up every one of them who are not U.S. citizens and deport them. France would be a nice place to send them.
I think he's talking about Ann Coulter columns.
Not everyone has access to broadband.
An excerpt and link would have sufficed.
Keep up the jerkoff attitude and there'll be kitties in your future.
They don't want their "MOON ROCK GOD BOX" in Mecca blown back to hell so they have to pretend to be "shocked..shocked".
JEDI
...they have awakened a sleeping LION.
lol
"WWII adage:
"We have met the enemy and he is us!"
WWII? That is much older than that. Try 1812/British War or so. Stop giving the WW undue credit! ;-D
If it is "safety" they want, why don't they move back to the old country that is run by the Muslims? That's got to be safer than living amongst the infidels, right? (/sarc)
Ultimate narcissists. It's not "How dare you injure innocent people", it's "You are going to make things harder on ME".
Crap religion.
Well, I don't want to have to work around it.
Get broadband and quit complaining.
Get stuffed!
Exactly. I am so tired of Muslims. They don't think like decent people.
