Over 1000 responses to a Times on Line article again all condemning this barbaric act but containing a variety of opinions concerning cause and effect.<br />I read the Muslim Council of Britain's response to the Paris bombing, which was: 'This attack is being claimed by a group calling themselves Islamic State. There is nothing Islamic about such people and their actions are evil, and outside the boundaries set by our faith'.<br />This response from the MCB strongly condemns the Paris bombing and should hearten me greatly but my reaction is lukewarm for the following reason. The MCB website does not struggle for space nor Islamic experts to explain in easy terms why the atrocity is 'outside the boundaries set by our faith'. Maybe I am missing the obvious so I await your enlightenment or any of your readers. Since I am half-way through Hirsi Ali's book 'Heretic', I have a slight inkling that it would be a difficult challenge. <br />From today. newspapers will be printing photographs of those victims that have been identified. This will make us all mourn again for them and the loss suffered by their loved ones.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09737029147173382139noreply@blogger.com
