Sir, – The sickening killing in Woolwich (Front page, May 23rd) is wrong; and our thoughts are with the victim’s family.
Such acts are incompatible with Islam. The invasion of Iraq and Afghanistan, the drone attacks on Pakistan and other colonial interventions were eventually going to lead to such acts, but Bush and Blair decided to ignore that. Instead of preventing terrorism, these wars caused more terrorism.
It is pathetic that the racist opportunist thugs of the EDL and the BNP will use the loss of a life to justify more hatred and violence. – Yours, etc,
