One small step toward fixing the moslem crackup.

Muslim Groups Seek to Distance Islam from London Bombings

Muslim groups in Britain have condemned Thursday's terrorist bombings in London, saying they had nothing to do with Islam (There is the small step forward. - F.G.) and voicing concern that members of their community could face retaliatory attacks. Similar warnings came from Muslim organizations in the U.S.

(And the two steps back.)

"Religious precepts cannot be used to justify such crimes, which are completely contrary to our teaching and practice," the Muslim Council of Britain (MCB) said in a joint statement with church groups.

"We must and will be united in common determination that terror cannot succeed," said MCB secretary-general Iqbal Sacranie in a separate statement. "It is now the duty of all us Britons to be vigilant and actively support efforts to bring those responsible to justice."

"The perpetrators, whoever they turn out to be, carried out a callous crime which Islam and all human values disown," said another group, the Muslim Association of Britain.

Spokesman Anas Altikriti called on imams at mosques across Britain to dedicate Friday sermons to condemning the attack and calling for "peace and harmony."

The British branch of Hizb ut-Tahrir, an Islamic political party which says it eschews violence, took a different stance.

"Despite the intense scrutiny that our community will find itself under after these attacks, it is imperative that the Muslim community is not silenced about the colonialism of Western governments," said the group's representative in Britain, Imran Waheed.

"It is lamentable that some politicians and commentators are apportioning blame for these attacks on Muslims, without evidence, as Muslims rightfully feel that they have far greater experience of being the victims rather than the perpetrators of terror," he said.

Blah blah blah.

Look here, Citizen Imam. Move to the USA. Preferably an enlightened part of the nation where a man may carry a gun to protect himself. If any Christian or Jew (or a Buddhist seeking revenge for that statue kerfuffle) starts killing you, just shoot him in the head. That's the freedom we're trying to give to your 7th century ass.
