USResident,
I'm not aligning everything with one incident. But that is the reality.
I have been to UK several times since I was a child. Many places were almost like Pakistan and there was no harassment of Muslims.
Only after 7/7 we are hearing of all these studies and surveys. We cannot get away from it. Just like 9/11 was a watershed moment for US Muslims, 7/7 was for UK Muslims and the Madrid attack was for Spanish Muslims etc.
If anything I agree with in your response, it is "that is reality" and that is what we are objecting to. Its a reality that is being created but does not exist. Facts are being twisted to make it look real.
So if you are not aligning everything with this one incident then explain why cannot it be justified that there are situations where attacking back for the preservation of religion is not justified unless you are one of those who view religion is an enemy and the need to annihilate religion. In other words your thought process supports attacking for the preservation of secularism.
