I agree Carol, of course not ALL muslims can be blamed for the acts of a few muslims. I think a lot of peoples worry i talk to is that will this set a precedent for young muslims who are perhaps lost in the UK, i mean lost as in without feeling they belong anymore, and young muslims could be persuaded by extremists to join ranks.

Also, there are estimated 2million muslims in the UK, it means that even if just one percent of that 2 million are extremist in sentiment, that means 1000 muslims are expressing militant tendencies against the UK, which is worrying.

One of the most worrying aspects of this attack on London has been the mindless white yobs who have now taken it upon themselves to go and attack sikh temples believing them to be muslim mosques. I presume these yobs saw a darker colour and that was enough for them to act. It is sad.
