So Bin Laden and the rest won't exactly be shitting in their kaks....
a representative body for muslims and mosques in the Spanish State has issued a "fatwa" or statement condeming "Al Qaeda" and its members and "leaders". The fatwa was timed to co-incide with the first anniversary of the M11 bombings.
: "Any group that invokes Islam to justify terrorist attacks places itself outside of Islam."
They were on their way to or from work, lowly paid work. Many north african migrants are included in the long list of thousands maimed, and last night in Madrid took part in silent respectful commemoration of the victims.
the newly arrived immigrant community of Spain is one of the largest of any European state, and the process of granting them "their papers" has been slow. The "amnesty" offered by the government elected by Spanish citizens since last year's bombings has not been met with beurocratic efficiency, and so accordingly migrants of the "sin papales" movement are again engaging in high profile "lock in" protests in Bcn tonight. The last time they did so was during the week of the feast of the Trinity in the Cathedral and Church of Maria del Pi 2004 when the cardinal asked the police to beat them out, so morning mass could be said.
Remember the millions of victims of the Genocide carried out by the Spanish during their colonial days.
Madrid remembered by ringing the bells of all the churches at the time of the first bomb.
Starting now, (12h00 CET) all train services on RENFE the peninsular service will stop for five minutes.
Respect - Silence - Serenity.
for the dead and thousands of wounded.
Meanwhile a conference on security, democracy and terrorism has ended in Madrid with the UN sec. general joining President Zapatero's call for an "alliance of civilisations" and the King's call for "dialogue, concensus and peace".
This is not a moment for politics.
It is a moment for respect.
