Those crazy terrorists.

They think they are doing something so significant for their
"cause", but the effect their actions have on people is laughable. No
one is afraid of these lunatics.
I do wish those in London the best and am thinking of them. I am
terribly sorry to hear about the attacks.

I felt terrible on hearing this news! I have friends in London (haven't heard from them...) and I wish them the best!

If terrorists in the name of A-la continue wrecking havoc on ordinary people, the islamic world should take some actions about it. Otherwise they will be viewed as terrorists' religion, and the whole world is against them.

If the world of Islam...

... cannot publically and privately separate itself in all respects from
the 'pseudo-religion' followed by the terrorist groups, then Islam
must accept full responsibility for these terrorists and their attacks.

This is a serious tragedy and it was well planned and executed in London, a place which is the NewYork of England. These terror-pests (i hate giving them a decent name) are learning the game of patience. Govts of world have to tighten control on regions/countries who are the breeding ground of these terror-pests. Tight the nut on middle east, put a firm grip on pakistan and kill them at their source, Do not capture and put them in rehab. Enough of sweet talk.

Unfortunately.

the terrorist mind set extends well beyond the active terrorists. Any
culture or religion which glorifies suicide bombers also needs to be
killed. I wouyld prefer rehab, but I just don't think that rehab would
work for any culture or religion.
