Who pays the price?

PV Vivekanand

WHOEVER was behind the July 7 bombings in London could not be a friend of Muslims or Asians or Arabs for that matter. For, from now on life for British Muslims and Asians is going to a nightmare in the UK.
While we reserve comment on the claims of responsibility for the dastardly crime against humanity, there is no doubt whatsover that whoever engineered the bombings have done nothing but the greatest harm to Muslims are a whole around the world. True Muslims who believe in the faith and its teachings would never undertake such heinous actions.
Wednesday's atrocity in Baghdad was another example of the mindlessness of such people. Nearly 40 children who had gathered to collect chocolates from American soldiers perished when someone driving a bomb-laden vehicle rammed into them.
Of course, the action is described as part of "resistance" against the American military in Iraq. But who paid the price? The families of those innocent children whose future the so-called "resistance" groups say they are seeking to protect.What was the net result, apart from the meaningless death of innocent children? Nothing but grief, anger, frustration and hatred.
What was the net result of the London blasts?
Nothing but grief, anger, frustration and hatred.
Definitely, Muslims are targeted, either by those who claims to be Muslims without realling understanding the faith or those who are plotting and carrying out actions that are aimed at spreading anti-Muslim feelings all over the globe.
