Transcript of speech by Mayor of Luton Haji Abid, following two minute silence

The people who committed those terrible acts last week did not represent any faith, just an unjustifiable fanaticism. They did not speak for any community, only themselves.

We are here today, united across the country in our condemnation of terrorism and fanaticism in all its forms, to send out our thoughts and prayers for the victims of the London bombings and all those still affected by these crimes.

But we are also here today to say, loudly and with one voice, fanaticism will never win. And now, more than ever, it is vital we stick together as a community – standing firm in the face of such great provocation.

Luton’s vibrant, diverse culture is one of this town’s biggest strengths, as are our excellent community relations. During this time of grief, this is the time to be proud of what we have in this town and throughout Britain. This is the time to support and protect it. This is the time to reaffirm the responsibilities we all have for one another.

Rarely will the words ‘united we stand’ strike a more vital and relevant chord.

And what we all stand for is harmony, discussion and understanding -- nothing less.

The council has opened a book of condolence to enable local people to pay their respects following the London bombings.The book is in the town hall main reception area, which is open during normal office hours.

Pakistan's president cracks down on extremists

From Syed Mohsin Naqvi

LAHORE, Pakistan (CNN) -- Pakistan's president, Gen. Pervez Musharraf, directed law enforcement agencies Friday to launch a nationwide campaign against banned extremist groups, targeting their donations, weapons and the holding of meetings.

The campaign also aims to remove all "hate" material from markets by December.

His actions come in the wake of an alleged Pakistani connection in last week's terrorist bombings in London.


Yes, like he didn't know that Pakistan was a hotbed and breeding ground for extremist Muslims. His current act is simple politicking to insure Pakistan's US funding is not cut off.
