Our leaders must speak up

Failure to oppose the official line creates extremists

When Tony Blair describes the London bombings as a perversion of Islam,
I agree. The shoddy theology that endorses the killing of innocent
people must be challenged. The chilling calculation peddled by some
fanatics legitimises innocent deaths as collateral damage for the
higher cause of shattering the complacency of western governments and
getting western troops out of Muslim lands. To sacrifice your life, on
the battlefield or in a suicide bombing, is to achieve the high status
of martyr. And the innocent people killed will go to heaven anyway, so
their suffering and that of their loved ones is worth the political
aim.
