In Light of the London Bombing
June 29, 2007
In light of the London Bombing, I think we would all do good to remember that we are still vulnerable to attack. Furthermore, we should remember that the enemy attacks symbols of American dominance or during symbolic times.

While nearly 80 percent of U.S. Muslims say suicide bombings of civilians to defend Islam can not be justified, 13 percent say they can be, at least rarely.
That sentiment is strongest among those younger than 30. Two percent of them say it can o | | By: TexasFred's | | |
