LONDON (Reuters) - Members of London's Muslim community grieved for the victims of the July 7 bombings on Friday, but one Islamic leader also hit out at Prime Minister Tony Blair, calling him "insensitive and ill-informed".
Speaking at the East London Islamic Centre, Kumrul Hassan, the uncle of Shahara Islam who was killed in the bus bombings at Tavistock Square, said he hoped Britons would "not see such terrible acts committed in our country ever again".
"Our religion, Islam, stands for peace, a fact that is known by all ordinary Muslims, and which is regularly preached in the sermons by our imams," he told reporters.

I've finally heard a small voice of reason from the article, something to the effect of relegating the investigation of the IRA to Catholics. Was the IRA the fault of the R.C. Church and could the Catholic Church have stopped the IRA? Did Rome (or the Anglican church for that matter) do enough to stop the blood-letting? Could they have stopped the blood-letting?
That's the first teeny, tiny point well taken I've heard from the Muslim community.
By "victims" they don't mean the innocent commuters who were murdered by the bombings, but Muslims who endured dirty looks and muttered insults from insolent infidels as a result of "backlash."
Eurabia is coming. If euro governments cant call the threat by what it is what hope do you have surviving this cancer?It called islamofascism.
6 million children aborted since '67 in the UK. A generation slaughtered. We reap what we sow. May God have mercy upon us.
"London's Muslim community grieved for the victims of the July 7"
For the victims? More like, for themselves.
"Islam stands for peace, and if you don't believe me I will kill you and set your house on fire!"
Well, given that your precious RoP says it's okay to lie, deceive, cheat, and betray any infidel/non-Muslim, I don't believe that statement for a New-York-minute.
Hey, it's all RELATIVE, correct? :D
Seriously, the meaning of "peace" to them is really "forced peace by everyone submitting to Islam". Yes, really.
They grieve that the authorities caught up with some of them.
Obviously this nutcase has never read the koran, otherwise he would realize that it´s nothing more than a field manual for making war and taking over the world.
"Our religion, Islam, stands for peace.."
Whcih depends on what the meaning of "peace" is.
To Islam, the only "peace" can come when all infidels are killed, converted, or enslaved.
That is exactly what it is.
It really means "submission"; twisted slightly to mean "peace through submission". Then simply chop off the latter part and you have a new 1-word definition.
Yep alot say it means submission to Allah and it literally means by any means possible if you read the Koran(piss be upon it). This religion is evil and is probably the false religion lead by Satan. Allah the name is a pagan moon god that mohammed ripped off of arab pagans at the time when he formed his so called religion. Strange that muslims symbol is a moon crescent which is exactly the same as this moon cult. ;) All a bunch of lies.
That portion is an excellent point. PC People do the same desparate grabbing at straws here, most pathetically equating the white dude who bombed the OK City building (nevermind he may actually have been working with Moslems, for the moment) to those who killed 1000s in 1 hour IN THE NAME OF ALLAH/ISLAM. They did it AS MOSLEMS; the OK bomber did NOT do it IN THE NAME OF CHRIST/GOD, i.e., AS A CHRISTIAN. The very fact the white guy OK bomber (sorry, can't remember name!) was NEVER mentioned as a "Christian" or anything like that UNTIL SEPT. 11 gives the lie to the equation now made by PC Americans.
Having said that the Papacy was much to tolerant of the terrorists. The Protestants had no such organizational affiliation. Most were just thugs, psychopaths and criminals and now run lucrative drug cartels.
I don't know much about this. Yes, the Church was probably way too lenient, but I doubt they could do much beyond rebuke the nebulous mass of malcontents.
Remember the USA bankrolled the IRA (Kennedy et al ).
!@#%##@$!&**&%%$#$@ Kennedys.
A lot of the elements in the IRA were actually far left extremists.
I doubt if any church would have had much impact on them, anymore than any church would have had on the radical Unionists.
It wasn't really about religion - it was about politics rooted in religion.
The only reason the Muslims are asking for an inquiry is so they can spew more propaganda and whine about being misunderstood and mistreated. The only inquiry that should be taking place is where mosques are constantly monitored and Muslims are watched like hawks.
