MSNBC:
Asghar Bukhari of the Muslim Public Affairs Committee, which advocates Muslim involvement in the democratic process and opposes violence, said, "It's not hard to comprehend the mind of a Muslim." He said young British Muslims look around the world and "everywhere they are getting bombed," so they increasingly respond by saying, "Don't just sit down and take it -- let's fight them."
"Them" being the West, not Al Qaida, Hamas, Hezballah, or the totalitarian regimes in the Islamic world that silence and murder Muslims on a regular basis.
On Friday afternoon, dozens of Muslim men came to the Darul Uloom Qadria Jalani mosque near the house of another Walthamstow suspect. After prayer services, many of the men denounced the British government, the United States and Israel -- which many see as allied against Islam.
Funny how projection works. Not a word about the fact that Hamas openly calls for the obliteration of the Jews in Israel. However, when Israel defends herself, then she magically becomes anti-Islam.
"It's George Bush's policy that got us here today," said one worshiper, a law student, who declined to give his name. "It's his wars that have breeded the mentality and hate that is here today. And what we're angry about is that our Prime Minister Tony Blair doesn't represent the beliefs of the people."
The hideous mentality of hating the infidel was already there, you dishonest clown. Think about it: How else would one explain the Islamist terror before the invasion of Iraq?
The Ummah simply uses the Iraq war as an added excuse to justify its simmering state of madness.
