Matthew's Journal

Yerk. My first response to the article was "Placing the responsibility on all Christians because Ireland-related bombings were done by protestant terrorists or catholic terrorists would not have helped, nor would it here. I can't think of any instance of any British muslim saying anything about the bombings and not condemning them as much as everyone else."

Islam isn't monolithic. I don't think there's much any Muslims in england could do that they haven't already.

Of course, the Muslims I know personally are just like everyone else I know, but follow Islam to a greater or lesser extent, so I may not have a clear picture. There must be a great many people in other countries who feel abused by England/USA and while not terrorists, understand the motivation, and are in a culture which Islam is an integral part. Possibly his rant would make some sense directed to them, but wouldn't exactly be effective.
