everyone afraid of backlash should be condemning, publicly, the crime committed.
Well said
Exactly! But their fear-mongering, propaganda-spreading, lying, cowardly leadership hasn't got the vision to do it.
The problem with that sector of the population is lack of education. They have no idea of ethical behavior in the greater society in which they find themselves.
"I'm bloody Muslim, and I'm afraid to go into the city"
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Good.
Go on offense.
Exactly my sentiments. Unlike the Muslim community in the US after 9/11, the Muslims in Britain now have opportunity to disassociate themselves from jihadi terrorists. They will probably have do bend over backwards a little before their sincerity will be accepted (mainly because they don't have past actions to fall back on....ie: a lousy reputation for being silent). It's funny that the biggest thing they are worrying about is getting their asses whupped.

Poor baby. OK. This is just as bad as the bombings were. Lets call it even. (sarcasm off)
Damn those murdering Baddest monk terrorists!
That would be nice, yes. That's EXACTLY what I'm suggesting.
You have a problem with that?
I seem to often see Christians making statements like 'Muslims should be marching in protest' or 'rooting out the terrorists' but they can never tell me where they marched when Christian terrorists were attacking London or what they did to root them out.
Actions speak louder than words.
Thousands of Muslims crowded London mosques for Friday prayers, condemning the bombings, but also wary they could be made scapegoats and fearful of reprisals against their growing and vibrant community.Um, if anyone's a scapegoat, it's the innocents that were killed in London, and for that matter, in Madrid, NYC, DC ... in other words, the innocent victims of Muslim terror.
Muslims are taking a page out of the American left's playbook and attempting to paint themselves as the victims, albeit potential ones. Everyone's down on the poor Muslims. Such bull@#$%.
As ever, if they sought to improve their image, they could start by ponying up with some names. I'm sure Scotland Yard is more receptive than ever to such assistance.
No. We're suggesting that they get into the habit of turning over the terrorists in their ranks to the authorities, work with said authorities to help convict such terrorists, and make loud public demonstrations of their opposition and intolerance of Islamic terror.
You're suggesting that's too much to ask? You're suggesting that the appropriate first response of "innocent" Muslims ought simply be to complain about fearing a backlash?
Are you for real?
Cry me a river.
I am sure there actually are many Muslim immigrants who do think of themselves as Brits first and who are not sympathetic to the terrorists. That said, however, there have been almost no incidents of "retaliatory" attacks on Muslims by non-Muslims, either in the US or Britain, and this is just more of the Islamic/liberal pity-party drivel.
That there is the problem...
And that, my friends, is the reason they will be attacked again and again. Close the mosques down. Every GD one. NOW!
I have little sympathy.
Let them be very afraid!
Actually, I meant exactly what he said I was suggesting.
True. But words at least speak louder than silence, which is all we see from Muslims these days (except for the constant whining about backlash).
