So...it happens again,but this time in London?
Three young Islamic men...THREE, and no one in their communities knew anything about it.
(At least they have been dispatched.)

There will be much hand wringing. Their will be flowers laid, candles lit, vigils observed.
There will be lip service from the Muslim community about how 'this is not the Islam they know'
Maybe in another two weeks Birmingham will be the target...and again the cycle will be repeated.
AND NOTHING WILL HAVE BEEN DONE. NOTHING WILL HAVE CHANGED.

It is time that the unthinkable was considered, and the problems addressed.

I am fed up with walking around seeing men of a certain ethnic background and wondering if they are an A or a B(an abuser or a bomber).
Before anyone slings that racist slur at me...what am I supposed to feel and think?
If the Muslim community were to do something more than issue placatory sound bites, and stop shielding these men, I might just feel a little better about them. I might be able to suspend my suspicion of ALL of them.
