Muslim leaders "condemn" attacks

It's begun already. The headline on the BBC reports that Muslim leaders condemn the terrorist attacks on London which have murdered 33 people so far. However, the article begins not with a condemnation but with-

Muslim Association of Britain president Ahmed Sheikh said the attacks would make the Muslim community less safe. He said women in headscarves might be in particular danger and warned all Muslims to be especially vigilant.

He said the police should consider extra protection for mosques and Islamic schools and said Muslims, particularly women in headscarves, should be vigilant and avoid unnecessary journeys.

Later in the article we get this (which is to be praised)-

Sir Iqbal Sacranie of the Muslim Council of Britain said he utterly condemned the attacks. "We are simply appalled and want to express our deepest condolences to the families. These terrorists, these evil people want to demoralise us as a nation and divide us. All of must unite in helping the police to hunt these murderers down."

However, he did qualify his statement with, "there may well be elements who want to exploit this tragedy and incite hatred". His comments are also immediately followed by claims from claims from the editor of Muslim news,

"There might be some increase in attacks on the Muslim community especially visible aspects of Islam like mosques, community centres and women with headscarves," and, "Muslims have to be vigilant now, especially the mosques, and I hope the police will increase security on mosques and Islamic centres."
