My deepest sympathies for the British people...I see that no one here (or their families) were affected by the 1st bombing, and I hope everyone is safe after this second one today.
We really need to remedy this problem, this has gone on too long. Unfortunately, it is the innocent ones (the "normal" muslims) that will pay the price for these fundamentalist jackasses, along with the rest of the citizens of the UK in the form of reductions of personal freedoms.
Unfortunately, there is another cold hard lesson to learn from these fanatics, best summed up by the words of Timothy Leary: "Think for Yourself, Question authority.". In this instance I mean this not so much in the context of political authorities but religious ones. These people have been conditioned to take the words of their Imams and accept them as the word of Allah; Christianity had it's day when this was the case as well (Read: The Crusades, The Spanish Inquisition, The burning of "witches" and "heretics" by the Catholic Church). Fanaticism in all of its forms is a terrible thing; common sense falls by the wayside and in its place comes groupthink, tyranny and oppression. We must all find our own way, and make sure that that way doesn't force us to become robots for the cause of some religious authority (
example).
