Over 120 dead today. Pray for the victims and their families. I hope this doesn’t turn the insurgency into a Sunni-Shi’ah civil war. The country is in bad enough condition as it is.

Responding to London [Updated}

Also, for those of you tagging, please use “London Bombing” so we can keep track. To the bombers: 5:32 To the victims: 2:156 Update: It seems “London 7/7” is another tag floating around, so please use that…
