Sher Khan: 'Religion Has No Part In This'
Sher Khan, chair of the public affairs committee of the Muslim Council of Britain, opined in a July 8, 2005 article in Guardian Unlimited of London:There are people claiming responsibility for these [July 7, 2005 bombing] atrocities, calling on the "nation of Islam and the Arab nation to rejoice" as these acts are "retaliation for the massacres Britain is committing in Iraq and Afghanistan". These people give the lie to religion. Whatever people feel about the current UK foreign policy, this cannot be used as an excuse to murder innocent people going about their business.
"Islam does not sanction such murder," Sher Khan added. " Indeed, there is no one with a genuine belief in God who can have sympathy for such evil acts. The pursuit of justice cannot be used as an excuse for committing injustices against others. People who have lost their way in life have challenged our values. We must reply with a united voice."
