Pro or Anti Terror?

Over at Biased BBC is an interesting piece about the vigil organised by anti-war protestors and Muslims. As the BBC article notes, a Dr Assami Tamimi of the Muslim Association of Britain (MAB, the UK's CAIR) received the "biggest response from the crowd". He declared the attacks to be not on "a certain creed or race" but on "everybody in Lonodn." He then went on the outline a 3-point program to combat terror attacks- vigilance and co-operation with security services, pressure to change British government policy (becuase, he argued, this attack was caused by the war in Iraq) and, finally, "Muslims also need to kill the ideology behind this".

However, as Rottweiler Puppy explains, the MAB website has Tamimi's name listed as "Dr Azzam
Tamimi". This would be the same Tamimi who has professed that he would like to become a suicide bomber in Israel (on the BBC no less) and who proclaimed that the Arab world cheered on 9/11.

A great choice to denounce a terrorist attack on London.
It's interesting too, that he drew the biggest response from the crowd. It's things like this which really make me question the conviction of Muslims in Britain who comdemn the attacks- is it the truth or are they only saying that because it's what we kuffar want to hear?
