It's About Time

The Washington Times reports that the British Muslims wasted no time in condeming the explosions in the London transportation infarstructure yesterday.

LONDON -- Muslim leaders in Britain yesterday were swift to condemn a series of deadly bomb blasts in London and they appealed to Britons not to single out their community for reprisals.

The leaders also made an unprecedented appeal to the estimated 1.7 million Muslims living in Britain to tip off the police about who had carried out the bombings.

"These evil deeds makes victims of us all," the Muslim Council of Britain said.

"The evil people who planned and carried out these series of explosions in London want to demoralize us as a nation and divide us as a people.


"All of us must unite in helping the police to capture these murderers."

As I said earlier, I want to hear some of these proported non-violent Muslims publicly coming out against the terrorism and violence.

This is a good start.

Hmmm, an Indian who resides in the UK once penned a work of fiction that didn't cast Islam in a positive light. Muslim clerics wasted no time issuing a Fatwah demanding his murder. To this day, I know of no such Fatwah issued for Usama bin Laden & his ilk.

Unless the condemnation comes from a Madrassa or Mosque, such condemnation is meaningless. Anyone can claim member status in fractual organizations & issue opinions. Everyone has buttholes as well.

We need to bear in mind who NOT to listen to. Methinks we have forgotten how to prosecute a war.
