Khaled Berry
Please can you read the story of Khaled Berry?
It has given me the most insight into 7/7 bombers so far.
I will write more about this later, but I found this very thought-provoking- my first thought was, I would like as many people to read this as possible and then let me know their thoughts, so we can talk about it.

It is encouraging to read his way of thinking now and it offers hope for the future. But what we should be doing as well is trying to figure out how to separate religion and politics so that what happened on 7/7 does not have a chance to be repeated.
For forgivness we need understanding and that it my view is something much more difficult to achive. The bombers of 7/7 came from the UK. Dare I say the enemy within ??. People like Khaled offer hope that such warped reasoning can be stopped but where do we start ??
Shadowfox asks: but where do we start?
We start with our children. When we do not allow our children the freedom to enjoy their childhood innocence and therefore to learn to think for themselves, but instead force them to conform to the pressures and demands of the status quo, we produce people like the ones Kaled talked about:
"They are not bad people but they cannot differentiate between themselves and their ideology"

"Have you ever seen those videos of little children singing the glories of becoming a suicide bomber? That's what they learn in school"... You could say the same thing about American children, rhyming off 'their' Oath of Allegiance to the American Flag! Brainwashed parents brainwash their children.....
