melbournian - there was also a full page advert in The Guardian today from the Muslims for Britain Campaign.

 

Under a black ribbon, it was headed "Not In Our Name" and continued -

 

"The Muslim communities across Britain are united in condemning the terrible atrocities of July 7th in London.

 

We are united with the rest of the country at this sad time and pray for the victim's families and those injured. We have also lost close friends and relatives".

 

There is more, but too long for me to copy and post all of it, but in answer to your question, the advert also contains this -

 

"We are determined to work with the wider society to remove pockets of all forms of extremism in Britain".

 

I trust that, along with the information posted by JoeP, this addresses the point in your post about the response of our Muslim community in Britain.

 

Words are useless without action, and that’s something we have seen very little of from the UK's Muslim community.

 

If the Muslim community does not remove these people who perpetrate these actions in THEIR name, the only outcome will be complete alienation from the wider community which will only result in more of the same!

 

We are at a cross roads here and the people with the power to take us down the peaceful root are sitting on their hands!

 

Is Islam wants peace? Then they need to get their own house in order, pure and simple.
