Although the perpetrators are yet unknown, we unreservedly condemn attacks on innocent British citizens and the desecration of all places of worship. The ongoing killing of Palestinian civilians in Gaza by Israeli forces has angered us all. However, this does not, and cannot, justify attacks on our fellow citizens of Jewish faith and background here in Britain. Most Muslims are completely against such behaviour. However, we call on all Muslims to continue to remain vigilant against attempts to bring our own faith and community into disrepute. British Jews should not be held responsible for the actions of the Israeli government. Yours in Islam and peace, Shaikh Abdal-Hakim Murad, Cambridge Shaikh Mawlana Shahid Raza, Leicester/London Shaikh Sayyid-Mohammed Musawi, London Shaikh Ali Qadiri, Barking Shaikh Mufti Barkatulla, London Shaikh Dr Musharraf Hussain MBE, Nottingham Shaikh Dr Usama Hasan, London Shaikh Bilal Abdullah, London Shaikh Aftab Ahmad Malik, Bristol Shaikh Irfan Chishti MBE, Rochdale Dr Tahir Abbas, Birmingham Navid Akhtar, London Parvin Ali OBE, Leicester Kamran Fazil, Birmingham Rokhsana Fiaz, London Ed Husain, London Azeem Ibrahim, Glasgow Maajid Nawaz, London Dr Zahoor Qureshi, London Usman Raja, Berkshire Yasmin Sheikh MBE, London Zeshan Zafar, London KEYWORDS: Israel/Palestine. Comments marvin 15 January 2009, 2:04 pm Good to hear. The firebomb attack on Starbucks 300 yards from Brick Lane has still not made into any national news. I wonder why, since after or during Islamic terror attacks the media are hypersensitive about islamophobia
