The Muslim Council of Britain is considering a plan for a national demonstration of protest against the terrorists behind the London bombings.

The inter-faith event, which has yet to be agreed, would involve marches in the capital and other cities across the UK.

A vigil organised by the Islamic Society of Britain with other church groups will take place in Manchester on Sunday, with a similar event scheduled for London at a future date, said Iqbal Sacranie, secretary general of the MCB.

He said: “We are working hand-in-hand with other faith communities. It is crucial – our mission can only be successful if we are working with everyone else.

1. Good show!

I am wondering why this hasn't happened in the US. There is a huge Muslim contingency here, especially in the Detroit area. Maybe these things just aren't being reported.

2. These things tend to sprout up in the countries where the attacks happened

And that goes for non-Muslims as well as Muslims. Terrorism wasn't a big issue in the US until McVeigh and the 1990's.
