ring, the pain? Oh yes….that was the whole point. The casualties weren’t an unfortunate side-effect; they were the target. These weren’t attacks on the tube, or on the bus: they were attacks on the people in the tube, on the passengers on the bus. Not even because they were of the wrong race or the wrong nationality, or the wrong class. Not even because they were of the wrong religion. Just because the maximum amount of human suffering in this city at this time serves their purpose.
And they derive their justification from a religion. Really, what can you say? More to the point, what can Muslims say if people sharing their religion have come to this.
