Aussie Muslims condemn London attack THE peak body for Australian Muslims has condemned as "sick and twisted" the slaying of a man on a busy London street by two men shouting Islamist slogans. The victim, thought to be a soldier, was attacked on Wednesday a few hundred metres from a military barracks in Woolwich, in southeast London. The attackers, wielding knives and a meat cleaver, then delivered an Islamist tirade to passers-by and encouraged them to take video. Armed police later shot and wounded the two attackers after they ran at officers. In a statement, Muslims Australia president Hafez Kassem condemned the killing as unjustifiable. "The attack on an unarmed civilian believed to be a member of the British military in Woolwich is a crime that is condemned and deplored by Australian Muslims," Mr Kassem said. My sympathies and condolences go to the victim's family and I strongly condemn the unjustifiable attack. Islam condemned the use of violence, Muslims Australia's Keysar Trad said. "It takes a sick and twisted mind to hack another person with a meat cleaver," he said. Islam condemns and deplores this violence, as do I, as does every Australian Muslim. British Prime Minister David Cameron has condemned the "appalling crime" and has said there are "strong indications that it is a terrorist incident."
