If you look at the London Tube Bombing of 7/7; the Madrid Train Bombing; two attacks on the World Trade Center; the murders of Lee Rigby, Theo Van Gogh, Daniel Pearl, Nick Berg, Ilan Halimi, and countless other attack and threats, how can we honestly expect people not to be “Islamophobic”? It would appear we have no one to blame but ourselves.
If we Muslims are actually opposed to these Islamist hate preachers, why are we failing to take a unanimous public stance against them, to disown and isolate them from our community?
After the murder of British soldier Lee Rigby by Islamic extremists in London last May, The Guardian reported a surge in the number of anti-Muslim offenses.
Also, last May, a poll by the British research firm, YouGov, showed that nearly two-thirds of Britons believe there will be a “clash of civilizations” between British Muslims and white Britons, and 34% believe that Muslims pose a serious threat to democracy.
As a Muslim living in the UK, I wonder, who is to blame for the increase in anti-Muslim feelings in the U.K.? Or is the problem “Islamophobia”?

Hounslow soldiers ‘on alert over threat of copycat Lee Rigby-style killings’
Michael Adebolajo is awaiting sentencing for the murder of Lee Rigby
Reports suggest soldiers at Hounslow Cavalry Barracks have been warned not to wear uniforms in public due to suspected plot by extremists in the area
Police have reportedly stepped up patrols around Hounslow Cavalry Barracks amid concerns extremists are plotting a copycat Lee Rigby-style killing.
Counter-terror officers have warned soldiers at the military base in Beavers Lane, Hounslow, to be alert as the British soldier’s murderers await sentencing this week.
Members of the Welsh Guards were told to avoid drawing attention to their army status by wearing their uniform in nearby pubs or Hounslow High Street, according to a report in the Mirror today , after intelligence suggested fanatics in the area supported Mr Rigby’s killing.
Neither the police nor the Army would comment directly on the reports or what security measures have been taken.

Refugee raped 19-year-old in locked bedroom

A WOMAN was locked in a bedroom and raped after accepting an invitation to visit a man’s house.
Afghan refugee Najeeb Ahmedzai was jailed for four and a half years after pleading guilty to raping the 19-year-old woman on February 26 last year.
Philip Dobson, prosecuting, told Bolton Crown Court how the teenager had received a text message from a man she had met at New Year, inviting her to his home.
Against the judgement of a friend, she accepted the invitation and, when she got to the house in Lawson Street, Astley Bridge, she found Ahmedzai there as well.
The two men plied her with vodka and when she told them she was tired they went upstairs to a bedroom with her.
