'NEARLY 100 British imams have signed a letter condemning the Woolwich attack.
They offered their condolences to the family of murdered soldier Lee Rigby and called for communities to “remain calm and vigilant”.
Their letter reads: “We share the absolute horror felt by the rest of British society at the sick and barbaric crime committed in the name of our religion. We condemn this heinous atrocity in the strongest possible terms.
“It is a senseless act of pure depravity worthy of nothing but contempt. There can be no justification for murder.”
It was signed by 94 imams, including Shaykh Ibrahim Mogra, assistant secretary general of the Muslim Council of Britain.
It said imams and Muslim organisations had spoken out “over the evils of terrorism” for many years, but recent events showed they could not afford to be complacent.'

‘We, the undersigned British Muslim imams, organisations and individuals, wish to extend our condolences and deepest sympathy to the family of Drummer Lee Rigby, killed in Wednesday’s outrageous attack in Woolwich.
We share the absolute horror felt by the rest of British society at the sick and barbaric crime that was committed in the name of our religion. We condemn this heinous atrocity in the strongest possible terms. It is a senseless act of pure depravity worthy of nothing but contempt. There can be no justification for murder.
Imams and Muslim organisations have done a great deal to speak out over the evils of terrorism over many years. But seeing what we have seen unfold over the last few days, we cannot afford to be complacent. Community-led discussions will be essential in the days and weeks ahead, to work out what more can be done to combat this problem.
Already we have seen extremists seeking to capitalise upon Wednesday’s terrible act. There have been several attacks reported against mosques and Muslim citizens. The hate-fuelled individuals behind such attacks wish to polarise and tear apart our great country for their own sick ends. They should be isolated and subject to the full force of the law.
We urge all communities to remain calm and vigilant today. We stand with you, and with other faith, political and community leaders, in urging our fellow citizens not to be taken in by the mindless rantings of the (few) extremists in our midst.
As we have shown as a nation in the past, we the British people are not so easily fooled; nor are we so easily divided. The overwhelming majority of the Muslim community stands united with the rest of society in condemning this awful tragedy.
Once again, our thoughts and condolences are with the family and friends of Lee Rigby at this difficult time.’

TAQUIA...GFY’S
Dear Imams,
Repent and be baptized. Then, we’ll talk.
And behind closed doors those imams are doing the Jihad Shuffle of victory over an infidel.
OUR country ??
(I'd better stop .. )
GFY'S
Probe with a bayonet, forward, forward...
if you meet mush, continue to probe forward with the bayonet.
If, on the other hand you meet steel, retreat and begin parrying again until you meet mush...forward, forward...
So, you see, this is all very nice but where were these Imams during all the Muslim outrages that have occurred in the last 100 years (at least)?
Having not noticed any real time condemnation, I’m going to label this a convenient and insincere reaction to the blowback their getting.
Well, actually Sharia proscribes just such activities for the parties involved.
Muslims need to renounce jihad before any apology can be considered.
>>Already we have seen extremists seeking to capitalise upon Wednesday’s terrible act. There have been several attacks reported against mosques and Muslim citizens. The hate-fuelled individuals behind such attacks wish to polarise and tear apart our great country for their own sick ends. They should be isolated and subject to the full force of the law.
How many “hate-fueled individuals” have KILLED a muslim? Seems like the score is 0-1 with the good guys losing, and now the muzzies want to end the game.
>>There can be no justification for murder.
Except Allah, of course. But remember that every time they kill an infidel, it is an isolated lone-wolf event. But, if we give one of them a dirty look, it is the Crusades all over again.
Actions speak louder than words when it comes to the Religion of Violence.
Pray for America to Wake Up
“Nearly 100”.
But a thousand imams throughout England and Wales were secretly applauding the action in the security of their mosques, and declaring this to be a “great victory” for the Islamic version of “justice”.
The unfortunate Woolwich was, after all, “kufir”, and therefore DESERVED his untimely end.
The fact remains that the Islamic colonists who have established a beachhead on English soil are now beyond successful retaliation and the supremacy of the Shari’ah law is upheld.
The Borg shall now assimilate all of the former subjects of British Royalty. The Collective is the new controlling agency of what were formerly human beings.
True enough, if there are Muslims being killed for no good reason, that's murder; but Infidels are another matter.
Infidels must be subjugated converted of killed. And killing Infidels who resist Islam is not murder. Read the Koran and Hadiths.
But these Imams know that; and lying and deceiving the hated Infidel is not a problem for a Muslim. Muslims owe Infidels nothing but contempt. And using our naive Infidel knowledge of Islam to their advantage is what Muslims should be doing, and are doing. -Tom
I would be more convinced of their sincerity if they had issued a fatwa signed by all 100 imams. That is how you stop the terrorism. Issue fatwas on imams who incite others to violence and condemn muslims who help terrorists in any way.
Followers of Islam, like the current occupier of the Oval Office, talk out of both sides of their mouths, with forked tongue.
It's called Al-Takeyya.
The bigger evil of true islam is its lies to non-believers starting with ayat 3:28, muslims can lie for allah. Its legitimate for believer’s to act contrary to their faith.
preach it in arabic on friday (every friday) and tell your masters back in whereeverstan to do the same and then I will pay attention. taqiyya.
Crocodile tears.
