illing innocent people for belonging to a cast, color, religion or culture is a heinous act and cannot provide justice for any cause.

Britain is still in shook and grief after the brutal killing of a British soldier in front of an army base in East London. Every one condemned the killing of the innocent victim including the British Muslim Council.

Due to the seriousness of the incident the British prime minister cut short his visit to France and tried to calm the situation. The Muslim community is seeing a backlash after the tragic incident. Although terrorism doesn'€™t have any religion unfortunately British right wing activists are trying to gain political benefits from unfortunate recent tragic incidents.

The role of the British media is also irresponsible as most newspapers have shown horrific pictures with hated remarks against the Muslim community.

London saw the worst ethnic clashes just a year ago, now the irresponsible behavior of media and politicians in Britain could start a new war in Britain.

Only weeks ago an 85-year-old Muslim man was also murdered in the same city while walking to the mosque. Police believe it was a racist attack. No voices rose in uproar against this brutal killing. Does anyone know how many men, women and children were killed by occupation troops or drone strikes in the past week, month or year? They don'€™t count, but innocent people are paying a high price everywhere which is very unfortunate.
