It is a good thing if women who "veil" themselves in our society feel ostracised.
Islamic female hijab wearers are an unforgivable offence in our society.

"Young people condemn the terrorist acts, but at the same time they are a bit annoyed by Tony Blair associating the attack with an ideological clash. This phrase, this 'clash of civilisations' is very irresponsible."

He added: "The government is trying to dissociate the terrorist attacks with any of its actions around the world. Still Tony Blair refuses to listen. Not linking the attacks with Iraq is to hide the truth."

Mr Islam thinks that terrorism has no connection with Islam but with Britain's foreign policy. I could not disagree more.

I have the answer to their "fear" problem. Remove the burkha and the Islamofascist attitude and join up with a good old Christian Church and find out what you've been missing in life with that "kill the infidels" mentality. Get Saved Brothers and Sisters!! And don't look back down that dreary road you've been travelling(and blowing up).

I agree. I've gone out of my way to avoid seeing the beheading videos or images. There are some things that are just too awful to look at. I think that, at some point, one's sensitivity maxes out and one becomes inured to the horror.

The fundamentalist factions of Islam obviously don't give a rip about their moderate and liberal Muslim counterparts and the Muslim world in general if they know the result of their actions will be the targeting of the Muslim community at large as well as invasions of predominately Muslim countries in which countless Muslims are killed. Their quixotic goals stemming from an obviously warped interpretation of Islam are more important than the lives of even their counterparts.

Mr. Alam, not Mr. Islam was the man quoted in my reply. My mistake.

Of course, the muslims are the victims.

Yep, and we're just the scary right-wing hate mongers.

Muslim sisters feel they are in danger and suspected,

Well, they are, but they can always join Western civilization instead.

Their goals do not stem from an obviously warped interpretation of Islam. The terrorists are actually the good Muslims. Read Prophet of Doom.

George Patton needs to slap a few civilians- especially in EU-rope.

They live in fear? Well, good. Now they know how the Jews of Israel have to feel all the time.

As a community, the main thing we feel is fear 24/7," said a 24-year-old Muslim woman

Gee, ain't that a shame? Perhaps they, as a community, should go back to a moslime country. Say...Iran.

Sorry, but I couldnt read past "dressed in a hijab and jilbab."

Anyone wearing either should be searched before attempting to board mass transit. So they are afraid? Good to see the shoe on the other foot for a change.

It is hilarious how these freakin Muslims whine and whine. If this was 1945 they would have been in internment camps for 3 years and counting. They are lucky to have their freedom at all.

My fear is that we are too far gone and too morally bankrupt to do what must be done to save ourselves and our nation.

It is not just your fear. It is present-day reality.

" Moderate Muslims take note: kill your cancer or suffer greatly."

I agree.

The Guardian should be killed immediately.

The liberals islamofascists at the Guardian are doing a very good job at promulgating fascist Islamic propaganda.

But, then again, they're liberals islamofascists.

Although The Guardian finally got around to firing one islamofascist journalist, G-d only knows how many more lurk there.

'Guardian' man revealed as hardline Islamist

The Guardian newspaper is refusing to sack one of its staff reporters despite confirming that he is a member of one of Britain's most extreme Islamist groups.

Dilpazier Aslam, who has been allowed to report on the London bombings from Leeds and was also given space to write a column in last Wednesday's edition of The Guardian, is a member of Hizb ut-Tahrir, a radical world organisation which seeks to form a global Islamic state regulated by sharia law.

By conferring citizenship on a foreigner, a society makes certain assumptions about his or her loyalty. If the new citizen is willing to accept the privileges and benefits that go with citizenship, he is also expected to transfer his allegiance to his new country. And while this process cannot be instantaneous, surely the second generation should be integrated into society their parents have decided to settle in.

Unfortunately, this has not proved to be the case for many Muslims, especially those from Pakistan. When pressed, they say they are Muslim first, Pakistani second, and British last. After 7/7, this is going to raise questions about their loyalty. Indeed, a backlash is already building up.

The French daily Le Monde sent a correspondent to Beeston in West Yorkshire to gauge public attitudes immediately after the London attack. He found a divided community where Pakistani gangs warred with white and black rivals. He quotes a bitter Fred Dibner on his Pakistani neighbours: “They don’t mind insulting our women, but if we insult theirs, they turn up to smash our windows...” The correspondent adds that Dibner spoke as though his tongue had been freed by the events of 7/7.

Regretfully, it will be more than tongues that will be freed. Despite odd incidents of racism, Britain has been an island of tolerance in an increasingly intolerant world. Even after 9/11, liberal attitudes mostly kept Islamophobia in check. Now, thanks to the actions of a few deluded men, the gloves will be coming off and Muslims, especially of Pakistani origin, are going to be singled out. I’m glad I’m back in Pakistan for the next few months.
