Four blasts rocked the London subway and tore open a packed double-decker bus during the morning rush hour Thursday, sending bloodied victims fleeing after what a shaken Prime Minister Tony Blair called ''barbaric'' terrorist attacks. Two U.S. law enforcement officials said at least 40 people were killed and London hospitals reported more than 360 wounded.
These terrorists, whatever their sick and twisted cause, need to be destroyed. From America, our hearts go out to the victims and their families in London.

How a person could get to a point of self desturucting another human being for there cause, shows me had sadly lacking in personal conviction that person is. Its the ultimate paradox is it not! Why things are allowed to happen like this in the universe is beyond me. I as most feel this of course would never happen to me, so where does that leave me? I feel that I can only extended myself to people around me, and there needs. Helping others in there time of need, and them in mine. Maybe this is a pinch of graciousness in such a cahotic world, may there be some more of this.

I find it quite extraordinary that after the barbaric attack on London's transport system, that islamic leaders in Britain and elsewhere condemned this vicious and cowardly attack and at the same time espousing that this does not represent islam.
Yet I find it ironic in another way. Lets not forget that islam condemns homosexuality outright. Lets not forget that in all islamic societies gays are often tortured and/or put to death for being who they are. Just as yesterday's savage attack on INNOCENT people in London forced some of Britain's islamic leaders to decry this horrendous attack, islamic gays also are innocent victims. To think we're pouring billions of taxpayers' dollars into Iraq, many gay tax dollars at that into a society that will go on torturing or executing its own gay citizens. Its abominable and immoral. Until that changes and probably won't, I remain unconvinced that islam is not a religion of hate.
