For your reading pleasure....

What follows are the statements on the UK bombings of various Islamic clerics and officials. Take them with a grain of salt, if you're so inclined. I am here to share, not to make points.

These crimes are not accepted by any religion. It is a barbarism wholly rejected by Islam -- Mohammad Hussein Fadlallah,Lebanese Shiite Muslim scholar

We condemn with the strongest possible terms these explosions, and convey our sincere condolences to the British people and government -- Saeb Erekat Palestinian negotiator

Those responsible for London attacks are criminals who do not represent Islam or even truly understand (its message)
--Al-Azhar Grand Imam Sheikh Mohammad Sayyed Tantawi, Sunni cleric
