Muslim advert condemns UK terror ananova.com British Muslims are borrowing a phrase used by UK opponents of the Iraq war in a new campaign condemning attacks in this country. The "Not in Our Name" campaign will be launched with advertisements in national newspapers on Friday under the title "Muslims United". The move was prompted by the failed car bombings in London and Glasgow and organisers hope the campaign will emphasise how ordinary Muslims reject terrorism. The advertisements praise the emergency services as "courageous" and laud the Government's "calm and proportionate" reaction to the crisis. They carry a quotation from the Koran reading: "Whoever kills an innocent soul, it is as if he killed the whole of mankind. "And whoever saves one, it is as if he saved the whole of mankind." The advertisements claim the backing of an alphabet of supporters from accountants to youth workers. Members of the Muslims United group behind the campaign include the Conservative Muslim Forum, Islamic Relief, the Islamic Society of Britain and groups such as the Muslim Doctors and Dentists Association. A later phase of the campaign will see advertisements placed on billboards, London buses and the Tube carrying a similar message. Organisers have also set up a website - on www.Islamispeace.org.uk - carrying detailed information about Islamic teaching and history.

Doctors try to save burned terror suspect upi.com GLASGOW, Scotland, July 24 (UPI) -- Doctors at a Scottish hospital are using an expensive skin substitute in an effort to save an alleged terrorist burned in an attack on Glasgow Airport. Kafeel Ahmed, 27, was one of two men who tried to drive an SUV loaded with flammable substances into the main terminal entrance. The other man is in custody on terrorism charges. Doctors at the Glasgow Royal Infirmary are using a substance made from shark cartilage and cow tendons for skin grafts, The Telegraph reported. "Ahmed is being treated with these grafts because there is nothing left on his body that can be used," a source at the hospital told the newspaper. "He is receiving the latest technology to try to heal the skin -- but there is still little hope of him surviving." Like other suspects in the airport attack and an abortive attempt to set off car bombs in central London, Ahmed is a doctor.
