It is said that we are all born as Muslims, and that some take time to hear the call. In that light I ask all of you to consider the horror of even one life lost to terror no matter what belief you follow.
And I truly wish we could create a complete list of all that have died at the hands of muslim, christian, jewish, or other BAD men who have subverted the word PEACE for 10000 years.
List of the London bomb blast victims.
Go here to see the pictures of these fellow human beings:
