The Guardian's Siddiqui: Not in our name ...

Even the far left Guardian is now openly criticizing the Islamic fanatics who appear to attack all without any true rhyme or reason. It is becoming clear that this is not about George Bush or the State of Israel but the disease in Islam itself.

Not in our name
Blaming UK foreign policy is not the answer. Where are the Muslim marches in revulsion against acts of terror in Islam's name?
July 3, 2007 , The Guardian, by Asim Siddiqui

The events of the last few days have been sobering for us all. The response from some UK Muslim groups (influenced by Islamist thinking) is still largely to blame foreign policy (undoubtedly an exacerbating influence but not the cause), rather than marching "not in my name" in revulsion against terrorist acts committed in Islam's name. By blaming foreign policy they try to divert pressure off themselves from the real need to tackle extremism being peddled within. Diverting attention away from the problems within Muslim communities and blaming others - especially the west - is always more popular than the difficult task of self-scrutiny. And what part of foreign policy do the Islamists want us to change to tackle terrorism? Withdrawal from Iraq?
