This is always going to be a continuous issue isn’t it. No, not all Muslim are bombers, just like the fact that not all Muslims are Asian. Back in the 70s and early 80s large numbers of male Irish students with names like bomber and AK where hanging around the pubs in Accrington singing rebel songs. Everything was fine until an incident on the streets of London or Belfast then the recriminations would start and these people would fall back and maintain a respectful and discreet distance. I would suggest that we won’t see this sort of attitude from some religious or cultural groups Muslim or otherwise. We can only hope that innocent people don’t get targeted because of the actions of a few. But it won’t help the situation if these religious or cultural groups start shouting the odds in terms of injustice about human rights or oppression. If the individual shoot today was white would anyone have asked any questions, I think not, not even if he turned out to be a white Muslim? The fact he was Asian raised fears in the Islamic community of shoot to kill polices. What is my point? It is a fact of life that all of the bombers have been either Asian or Black and all most certainly Muslim. What Margaret is trying to do is offer the Muslim and Christian communities an opportunity to demonstrate their disgust at this murderous and senseless violence and show solidarity of British Multicultural Society.
