Londinistan

One week on, life seems to continue back home. People are shaken up but resolute. People are cautious and seem to be taking time to nurture friendships, for you never know what random event might take them from you. People are amazed at the inanity of their daily routines in the face of such huge issues.



The news that last week's four bombers were British was a shock. Richard Reed (the foiled shoe-bomber) was British too. According to N.P.R, extremists in the Muslim community are better at vocalizing their opinions on the jihad situation than the liberals. Our Tony has condemned any and all attacks on Britain's Muslim population. It's a shame it needs saying, but at least it's out there for those who need their morality prescribed to them. Sikhs are nervous too, because they wear turbans and the common man can be very ignorant when he wants to be.

Where will it all end? The right to free speech isn't enshrined in any kind of Constitution for Brits the way it is in America. Will we get to finger-pointing and accusations of "un-British" sentiment?

If you can, stop what you're doing for two minutes at midday today, in memory of the dead and injured.
