Hamas, responsible for many suicide attacks on Israelis, said there could be no justification for the London bombings.It seems Hamas has the market cornered on justifiable bombings.

---In Damascus, Syrian businessman Majed Ali said: "I really hope this is not the doing of an Arab or a Muslim because our values are 100 percent against this devilish crime. If my own brother had done this, I would disown him." ---
all those who believe this quote stand on their head!

Notice he says nothing about bringing him to justice. Typical muslim response.

The thread of self-pity throughout this story is amusing--Mulims are like that person you tell about the death of a friend and their response is "Oh, *I* lost my best friend, too!"
The Middle East is filled with people who would rather bitch about things than turn in someone they know is building suicide bombs.

"Hamas, responsible for many suicide attacks on Israelis, said there could be no justification for the London bombings. "
So homicide bombings on women and children in Israel continue to be justified. Sweet. (sarc)

"Those responsible for this have no feelings or humanity," said Hassan Bannona, a 47-year-old Saudi aviation worker. "We feel for the victims as we have also been attacked in this way."Yet the Saudis continue to support exactly this type of terrorism in Israel.

Better still, they'll hold telethons to raise monies for the martyr's families. Everyone turns a blind eye when it's Israel. Now they shall reap the vast rewards of such ignorant behaviour with a measure of racism against their own.

In some Middle Eastern societies, being "disowned" by your family is one of the harshest sentences possible. There's a strong value embedded in belonging to a family--it's similar to the importance of Clans in medieval Europe (or thanes, like in Beowulf).
Still, personally, I'd want more than just him being out of my family, too.

"Targeting civilians in their transport means and lives is denounced and rejected," Moussa Abu Marzouk, deputy chief of the group's political bureau, told Reuters in Damascus
We chose our words v e r y carefully there, didn't we, Mr. Marzouk.

the middle east does not feel 1/2 of 1/1000 of the amount of sympathy/upset that I am feeling right now for the UK.

"A Hizbollah statement on the blasts denounced attacks on civilians, citing humanitarian, moral and religious grounds. "
We are sick of these fascist Muslims giving lip service to feigning outrage against terrorism. They speak with forked tongues while supporting these terrorists in secret. We expect bonafide muslim nations to expunge these vermin terrorists. Gut their organizations.

Turns out you're a caring peoples. I was wrong. I thought you all were cowards that hid behind your womens sand skirts and sent your children off to die for you.

And then we find this on DU:
" Just woke up to this news. I want to express that my thoughts and prayers are with my fellow humans in London. I am so very sorry our criminal president has dragged you into this."
Isn't that a nice thing to say? Such nice people over at DU.

"We've been experiencing terrorism for 30 years," said Samira Murr, a Lebanese teacher in her 50s, in Beirut. "It's like the Madrid bombings, like the 9/11 attacks. We feel we are not safe anywhere in the world any more."
But unlike Lebanon, or Madrid or Paris or Berlin, the Brits won't back down. Like us they are mad as hell and they aren't going to take it anymore!

I guess not enough Jews died to make them think it justifiable.

We feel we are not safe anywhere in the world any more." Every frickin muslim quote I've read today is about them being afraid and NOT about about how disgusting this is.
True colors.
