I read some responses of muslim religious authorities to the London bombings.

Daud Abdullah, assistant general secretary of Britain's biggest Muslim lobby group on radical Islamists.

"We know these groups are out there. It's up to Muslims, non-Muslims, the police and the media alike to isolate them, contain them and make sure their message is not heard."

Sheikh Anwar Mady, imam of the London Central Mosque, urged families to help ensure children did not turn to radicalism.

"The family has got a large responsibility in supervising the way their children should behave," he told Reuters.
"Our youths should understand that making decisions regarding big important and public issues should only be the task of the scholars and leaders of the community."

These people fundamentally DONT get it... They honestly passionately believe that the best means of combating terroism and terrorist groups is errecting trade barriers against dangerous ideas.. They do not understand the way in which the growth of technology and the democratisation of information will continue to subvert topdown hierarchial power and value structures of the kind they cling to.

The way forward for Islam according to these minds is a tighter monopoly on information.. More mindless deference to the great bearded authorities is the solution these individuals have to offer. Its a lame solution. Closed mindedness is a part of the problem but NOT part of the answer.
