OMG! I was going to get on here this morning and say congratulations to those in and around London concerning the Olympic bid. Now I just want to know if everyone is okay?

InPeace,
InLove

I'm hoping bb and his bride are physically okay (they're from London, if i recall.) I'll e-mail him as soon as I log off the forums.

Our prayers are with the loved ones of the victims of this horrific crime. God be with each of you.

Pretty shocking news - was glued to BBC news for a lot of this morning.

Do people have a good reason to be giving up there lives? Or is Islam a wicked faith?

Maybe both? If non what is the reason?

Our thoughts go out to the victims and relatives.

Hello--Peace to All Here/Salaam--

These terrors are being visited on people by a bunch of dark political powermongers--not by true believers in Allah.

InPeace,
InLove

Yep - as on the Islam thread, it would be like thinking that Christianity is all evil, just because the IRA, and Mafia are groups claiming to be Christian while involved in organised killings.

My regards and sympathies for the people of London!

Has anyone heard from BB? Glad to see you are alright Brian!

I heard about it at lunch time at work, but it was 6 o'clock before I knew my family were all safe. My cousin works in a Gym just off Tavistock Sq. where one of the bombs went off and my uncle is a London Transport Policeman.

Never been so worried in my life, but at least I got good news in the end. Others were not so lucky.

Hi Awaiting the Fifth,

Glad to hear your family came out of it all right.

Really, there are no words for things like this.

hello all

hopefully bananabrain and his new wife might not actually be in london....it's their honeymoon so maybe they are away somewhere. i don't know about his family though where are they.

I couldn't help but find this both deeply sad and terribly ironic - after the London bombings, the first burial is of a young British Muslim:

I heard from bananabrain and he told me that he and his bride were in Alaska when the bombings occurred (he didn't say what he was doing

) but he's physically okay and he's going to see if any of his friends were amoung the victims.

Thought you might like the update (if he hasn't posted himself yet.)
