Global Voices Online: Muslim Blogosphere Reacts to London Blast

Global Voices Online has an English language (and a little French) roundup of the Muslim blogosphere's response to the London attacks.

Iraqi Expat (who lives in London) had a friend who is only alive today because he mistakenly got off at the wrong subway stop and decided to go for a smoke. A Muslim himself, he describes the "rage" and "irrational thoughts" he and his family experienced all day:

Today’s attacks must - and they will - strengthen our commitment to defeat this barbaric hateful terrorism. We will not bow - I will never bow - to these despicable terrorists, even if my life depends on it. What happened to London today was an outrageous evil act by shameless criminals who, sadly, call themselves Muslims. Today, my family and I are ashamed of being Muslims.
