LOS ANGELES -- The Muslim Public Affairs Council extended condolences Thursday to the families of those killed in a series of deadly explosions in London and stressed that any act of terrorism is unacceptable.

MPAC officials also said they fear possible backlash against American Muslims similar to that seen after the Sept. 11, 2001, terrorist attacks in the United States if the perpetrators claim Islam as their religion.

"Clearly, we are concerned that this will be another instance where individuals will use these events to say that Muslims are not being loud enough in condemning terrorism," said Edina Lekovic, MPAC's communications director. "This just underscores what we have been saying pre-9/11 and continue to say, which is that we oppose all forms of terrorism."

At least 37 people died in the London attacks, and more than 700 people were injured. A group calling itself the Secret Organization of al-Qaida in Europe has claimed responsibility for the bombings, which targeted London's subway and bus systems.

"These attacks, if they are done in the name of Islam, are abhorrent to Islam," Lekovic said. "They violate Quranic tendencies; they violate Quranic principles and they violate all principles having to do with Islam."

About 600,000 Muslims live in Southern California, mostly in Los Angeles and Orange counties, making it one of the largest American Muslim populations in the United States, Lekovic said. There are more than 60 mosques in the Southland.

What backlash??

[dts32041]

Self evident, if you aren't helping with the hunt, you are aiding and abetting the terrors.

[tobyhill]

What a bunch of crap! The Muslim's motto is,"Condemn Today, Celebrate Tomorrow".

[Defend the Second]

I don't believe them.

[La Enchiladita]

**** = crap. I don't either.

Keep your condolences AND your savage religion.

[Darksheare]

Oh how quaint.
Welcome to FR.
What have YOU found in the hunt?
Hmmmm?

[wvobiwan]

When I hear Mullahs issueing Fatwas against UBL, Zarqawi, calling for their deaths, then I'll believe it.

Talk is cheap.

[La Enchiladita]

Looks like you found something in the hunt, darksheare. Good work.

[Darksheare]

To be fair, it found dts first.
So the find goes to dts in all actuality.

Actually I was hunting terrors for over 20 years and no longer capable except by reporting, which obviously they aren't doing, cause if there is 600,000 musselmen in Southern califiroinia there are approximately 10-50 terrors in that group. Since it takes about 400 people to support that number in active support there is 450, terrors or level two support, what gets interesting is that the third level support actually spreads about to 40,000 people.

third level support is those who give money to level 2 support but do not actively support the the level 2 or terrors.

this pattern has been followed by terrorists for a long time.

The RAF, had thirty active members, and they managed to screw with the Germans for 30 years.

What stopped them was old age and the Fall of East German support Structure.

There is a support structure in place in southern california.

Someone is not reporting.

Therefore they must be against us.

If you can find it Claire Sterlings The terror Network is a pretty good primer on terror organizations and structure.

Oh how quaint. Welcome to FR.

Thanks, nice to be here.

What have YOU found in the hunt? Hmmmm?

I'm not the one who made the bonehead remark.

[Darksheare]

Not exactly a good way to start ones stay on FR actually.
To be fair, your post was in itself pretty fairly 'boneheaded'.

[Defend the Second]

So I'm curious. What ARE you doing to crush, kill, destroy terrorism?

[joesnuffy]

One face offers sympathy & accuses the west of discrimination
One face plans and executes terror

[La Enchiladita]

If ultra-liberal NBC4 admits to 600,000 muslims in SoCal, I wonder how many there really are?
