I'm from London. Family from London. I'm also Muslim. At least 10 of my family members are missing and cannot be heard from. 2 of them work at Liverpool St. station which was bombed. Also have numerous friends that work in the city. I dont think I've ever been this angry.
Thanks. It is appreciated. I just heard from one of my best friends who works for the Bank of England. Here is what he wrote: ">> Saz, am fine, thanks a lot for asking. Things are a bit chaotic here, but >> we don't really have any real news on the scale of this thing. A part >> from that, business as usual. >> Hope all well with you!" Still waiting on news from my family.
I will pray for you and your friends. How would you feel if the only way to wipe out this kind of terrorism was to wipe parts if not whole countries like Pakistan, Iran and Syria? These countries do sponser terrorism, Al Quada and such. I almost want to say Saudi Arabia also, that might be difficult since we get our oil from them. We have just barely scratched the surface in this war against Al Quada and terrorists. Obviously they are still able to operate hitting places like Spain and England. The only way I see to stop this is kill the roots of the problem. Bringing them to justice obviously hasn't worked in the past 10 years or so, we don't seem to be able to catch them for one thing. Even if we did that does nothing to stop the root of the problem, the schools of hate in Pakistan and the camps around the globe.
You would also have to wipe out every major capital in the world, including London. I dont want to get into a political discussion (I have a masters degree in International Politics). I'm a little more concerned with my friends and family.
No problem, I understand, my thoughts and prayers are with you!:dis: Maybe we can debate this some other time!
Saz... Hang in there. Sounds like the authorities and citizens are handling this professionally and calmly. Prayers on their way. Beaux-Bo
