Yes.

I especially liked this part:

“The open letter by Muslim leaders is a cynical act of disloyalty toward Britain. It echoes the propaganda of militant Islamic extremist organizations like al-Qaeda, expounding the view that the West is to blame for terrorist attacks because of its support for Israel and its actions in Iraq, Afghanistan, and other parts of the Islamic world. After the 2005 London bombings, al-Qaeda’s second in command, Ayman al-Zawahiri told the British people in a taped broadcast that “Blair’s policies brought you destruction in central London and will bring you more destruction,” warning of further attacks unless “the people of the crusader coalition…leave Muslim land.”[2] Last week’s open letter echoes this sentiment.”

I don’t think the British need to be told this, they know it far better than Americans do - check your history.
