Good find. I went through quite a few of the links it contained too. Reading through it, it appears Britain already has something of a Patriot Act and is looking to improve it. I'm trying to find out what state that is in. It is good the fatwa will require British Muslims to aid the police in catching the perpetrators. And bad that the perpetrators may have been Caucasian mercenaries acting for pay. That is likely to make their apprehension more difficult. Maybe. Maybe not, too, because such people are likely to already have an extensive criminal record and the police may have a short list of suspects. Imams across Britain were united in condemning the attacks in their weekly Friday sermons, encouraging Muslims to offer all possible assistance to the victims and authorities. Enemies of Islam "We're not talking about Muslims here. We're talking about a bunch of nutters," said Qureshi. Yes. Murad Qureshi, the only Muslim member of the Greater London Assembly and a former Labour councilor in Westminster, backs such a fatwa. "It is about time we put clear distance between ourselves and so-called Muslim leaders like Osama bin Laden, who has been able to dictate the whole agenda with his video nasties," he said. That is what is needed. "There's not a dividing line between Muslims and Londoners. The dividing line is between those who commit these acts and those who don't," he said. Amen. David Clark, a former Labour government adviser, wrote in the Guardian Saturday there can be no hope of defeating terrorism until the world community is ready to take “legitimate Arab grievances” seriously. Yes. Given some of the political influences and groups involved, unfirtunately I'm pessimistic. Read this one: ianpaisley.org
