For a while the whole area that I live in felt really uncomfortable
for me. I live in an area of London that has a very high muslim population. For a good few months after the July 7th bombings the whole atmosphere changed completely. before the event, my kids were allowed to play quite happily with all the other kids on the same floor of the block we live in - the majority of whom are muslim. All of a sudden, when my kids came out to play all the other kids went in. none of the parents, with whom I had previously got on really well with, wouldn't speak to me.
If you walked down the local high street, you could see every now and then a non-muslim staring suspiciously at anyone wearing a back pack or a burkha. It was just vile. I later found out, after things had settled, that they parents of the kids that were kept indoors while mine were out were not in anyway condoning or backing what had happened (the thought had never crossed my mind, by the way). They were just worried that we might in some way, as many Londoners had with other muslims, hold them partly responsible for what had happened. I still to this day do not take offence at their actions. They were merely protecting their families.
