London Terrorist Attack

The terrorist attack on London today has so far taken 37 lives and caused around 200 injuries. A group which nobody has heard of called "The Secret Organisation of Al Qaeda in Europe" claimed responsibility for it, claiming to have warned the British government. The government says they were previously unknown. Hmmmm ...

My wifes cousin is a trainee paramedic in London and she was on a training course in the city when it all kicked off. The staff were called out on duty. The paramedics were particularly brave, going out and treating the injured knowing that another bomb could be going off any time.

The worst thing about this is seeing some peoples' reactions calling for all muslims to be isolated and deported or even for a war against Islam. These people completely fail to realise that they are calling for the same things that these terrorists are, but only in reverse. Most muslims are normal, peaceful, friendly, law abiding people and not terrorists. For a religion that has over a billion followers, the number of terrorists is tiny overall. But lets not let common sense get in the way of a good witch hunt, eh?

One thing I will say is that it was expected. From the day Traitor Blair took us into an illegal war on false pretences at the bidding of George Bush, we became a target.
