London Bombings, Islam etc
The first thing I knew about the London bombings was when my friend Anas called me to ask how my family were, which I thought was an unusual question for him. He told me about what had happened on the tube a couple of hours earlier. After I had checked out the news on the internet my initial reaction was full of outrage and bile 'bomb Mecca' a little while later I thought about my friend Anas, his brother and Ayub. I realised that probably the best friend I have made since moving to Spain is an Arab Muslim. Which makes it difficult to give way to religious bigotry. So I have to give more thought to this.
