Tragic!!!

London bombings on7.7.2005.

No one would expect this to happen after being voted by the IOC that London would be organising the Olympics in 2012. why did this had to happen? they were still rejoicing over the news and 'bang'. several explosions ripped off trains in the underground network and buses on the streets. same like how the 9/11 happened. terrorists took the opportunity of tearing them apart during the morning rush hour. news spread everywhere that these were terrorists attacks. and fingers were pointing towards the Al-Qaeda militants group. Tony Blair condemned. Mayor Ken Livingstone condemned the terrorists too.

if you have a sound mind, you would not relate the religion Islam to this terrorist group who named themselves as Al-Qaeda. no one knows why did they act in the name of calling themselves as muslims, and then carry out these sadist acts, and staining this beautiful religion called Islam. no one knows except Him. i didnt enter this religion long enough to debate the issues of terrorism carried out by this Al-Qaeda group but nevertheless, i have tried my best to clarify when my friend asked me this question: ' If this religion is so good then the rest of the others, then why would these muslim terrorists start war like this?' I just told him that ; "though i may not know the religion very long but as far as i've learned, Islam never taught us to behave like that. whatever they did, its never in the name of Allah." ever since 9/11 came about, it was recorded that there were people who were curious about this religion in the United States and have seen a high number of people converting to Islam. i have heard stories about them. maybe i can put them up here and share it with you guys. and ever since 9/11 started, all eyes turned to Islam. media did not do a good job because they only portrayed and broadcast the bad stuff but kept the beautiful facts. here are some extracts of what was written and splashed all over the papars:
Asia's press Friday condemned the London bombings, with many newspapers contrasting the bloody destruction of the attacks with the unifying spirit of the Olympics and the G8 summit. In Taiwan, a China Times columnist suggested that Britain carried part of the blame by going to war against Iraq. "The United States, Britain and some other countries waged an unjustified war against Iraq, and it did not award them greater security," the column said. "Anti-US sentiment in the Muslim world has risen ... This has put the US and its allies in greater danger," it said. LONDON - Prime Minister Tony Blair pledged to work with Muslims in Britain to promote the "moderate and true voice" of Islam, as the spiritual leader of the Church of England warned Monday against finding "scapegoats" for the London bombings. "We were proud of your contribution to Britain before last Thursday. We remain proud of it today," said Blair in a statement to parliament, four days after the worst attacks on British soil since World War II. He said it "seems probable" that the bombs were planted by "Islamist extremist terrorists" like those who were behind the September 11 attacks in the United States in 2001 and those in Madrid in March 2004. "Fanaticism is not a state of religion, but a state of mind and we will work with you to make the moderate and true voice of Islam heard as it should be," he said. "Together we will ensure that, though terrorists can kill, they will never destroy the way of life we share and we value and which we would defend with such strength of belief and conviction." Rowan Williams, the Archbishop of Canterbury, told the General Synod of the Anglican Church in the northern English city of York that Muslims must not be made "scapegoats" for the terror blasts. The plea came as Iqbal Sacranie, secretary general of the Muslim Council of Britain, the faith's most respected lobby group, warned "unscrupulous elements" could use the London bombings to attack Muslims and their institutions. Williams said that visits he made to Islamic institutions on Monday were an opportunity to stress the good state of relations between Christians and Muslims across Britain. "Routine friendship and cooperation remains the best hope we have in any conflict of finding ways forward," he said. Police said four mosques in different parts of England had been targets of attempted arsons in the wake of Thursday's bombings in the capital which killed at least 52 people and injured around 700. Police also reported cases of verbal abuse against Muslims in the street, as well as criminal damage to cars, businesses and homes. Sacranie urge mosques and other Muslim organisations to report any such attacks or abuses to the police. "We know that there may be some unscrupulous elements in our society who may look upon Thursday’s carnage as a morbid opportunity to attack and undermine British Muslims, their institutions and mosques," he said. "We must not allow anyone to succeed in fomenting strife and disorder.... Those who planned and carried out these heartless attacks -- whoever they are and whatever faith they may claim to profess -- are surely the enemies of us all, Muslims and non-Muslims."

the need to convey the islamic concept of Tawhid to the world at large in clear unequivocal terms has been and shall remain the Muslim's first duty. now that there is renewed worldwide attention towards Islam, it has become even more urgent to convey its core concept, without which there is no religion: the Oneness of God. Let us, Muslims all pray that every single passenger hurt in the explosions would recover soon, pray that London would not suffer any more similar tragedies. Let us hope that they would be able to unite together as a country and find the culprits of crime and give them the appropriate punishment for such sadist acts.
