I would be if people were doing this in the name of my gods (although the idea of a group of angry, rampaging pagans is a little risible). Instead, all we hear is how Muslims and Islam are not to blame. Sorry? Who is then? Because it certainly isn't the Church of England! I'd be livid if this was being done in my name, but instead there is just a lot of shirking of resposibility. How do Muslims feel about this? I'd be dying of shame.
ps: I don't want anybody calling me racist for posting this, either, because that's just plain ridiculous.

At the end of the second world war my father-in-law was serving in India and was told by a national who was a muslim that the muslims were working towards having a band around the world which would then spread north and south so that within one hundred years they would rule the world. That was 62 years ago - only 38 to go. See how they have progressed with their wish, but as we have other religions who will not bend the knee to their beliefs - how else will they succeed in their ambition ? Some are radical and some are peaceful - but they all share that same ambition and belief. I for one will not believe a word out of the mouths of the muslim council leaders, they have their own agenda. I am not racist, i am a mother of three and a realist.

Wonderful to hear you state that you feel that way. I have to ask though, not long ago I was watching British Muslims marching in London with signs that said, Britain the next Muslim country, Blessing the Martyrs that killed unbelievers, and death to all zionists, etc..etc... Where were the Muslims that condemn these actions? Why did I not not see one Cleric or Muslim holding a sign that said the terrorists are murderers. You may not believe what they do, but no one in the Muslim community is taking an active stance against them publically either.

Maybe if you actually watched the NEWS, you would see that in Glasgow 10 years ago, fundamentalists (Muslim of course) tried to stir things up and were chased back to England by the now Scottish Muslims here!! They are absolutely horrified at what has happened and said so constantly since this crap happened!!! There is such a thing as having your religion hijacked you know!! These people are foreigners they are not even from the UK or anywhere in the West. One is an Iraqi doctor!! Look, watch the news like everyone else and then you'll be informed or are you too young and have better things to do with your time?

I think the individual muslim people are just as outraged as you or I, however the problem is that the main figureheads have not spoken out against it, and that is a bit stupid. As you say if it was terrorists doing it in the name of the church of England i'm sure the automatic response of the Archbishops and other leading figures would be to come out and condem the actions and emphasise that this is not the actions of the majority but a tiny extremist minority.
I am surprised the muslim leaders haven't been advised to make such a statement by the government.

the peacefull muslim community ARE up in arms about it. just as much as the peacefull non muslims.
just as someone has already said, the terroists aren't viewed by most muslims as real muslims.
so why should the brittish muslim community feel that they should publicly be 'up in arms' any more than the non muslims.
i dont think that the peaceful muslims should have to prove themselves after every terroist attack.because that would in a way admit that terroist attacks are a valid interpretation of the kuran.
which they aren't

The truth is many Muslims are up in arms. They understand that bombs can kill everyone including Muslim families. Many do declare allegiance to the UK and to their faith. There are bad apples in every faith.

If the Muslim "Communities anywhere are really against the Muslim Terrorists, then they should PROVE IT! They should report any and all people they believe might be Terrorists, who are using their community as a shelter against detection, to the Proper Authorities. They are either part of the Problem, or part of the Solution to rid the World of Islamic Terrorists.

I think you will find that they are. Had the attacks in London been successful, the killing would have been as indiscriminate as all terrorist atrocities. The problem is that if you speak out against terrorism, you are likely to become a target no matter what your religion, race, creed or colour.

If you listen to Talksport you'll see a lot of Muslims are very Disgusted in the actions of those who did it, Can i just say also, I am a pagan, i don't know what your idea of a pagan is but it's not a devil worshipping biker, a pagan is somone who believes all living things have a spirit and the creator of all things is "Diana" (Mother Nature).
maybe you ought to look at a few pagan sites and learn more about it.

I heard on the news last night that the Muslim Community around Scotland IS up arms about this, that they feel that there is going to be a backlash and they themselves are going to be attacked for something they dont want to be associated with.
