Re: Shot man in London not connected to bombings
A Muslim spokesman said it was frightening that police had license to kill people on suspicion and that people would be afraid now to walk the streets or ride the subway.
A spokesman for the Muslim Association of Britain, Azzam Tamimi, said "people will be afraid to walk the streets now, to take the tube.
"I feared that we'd arrive at this conclusion," he told the British Broadcasting Corp. "To give license to people to shoot someone dead like that on the basis of suspicion is very frightening."
"The problem in this particular incident is that the person seems to be colored, seems to be Asian. Now he can be of any religion, from any roots or region. This will cause a great anxiety and concern," Tamimi said.
