what is the islamic stance on the london bombings?

If Muslims are at a point where people actually ask this question and there is any significant degree of suspense about the answer, then the PR battle is already lost. But if you still need to look, here is a response from Faraz Rabbani from the Sunni Path website on the question: What is the Islamic stance on the London bombings?

(Note, the above answer is from the Hanafi perspective. If your name is Daniel Pipes, Steve Emerson or Ann Coulter and you happen to be reading this. You will have to check elsewhere to find out what the non-Hanafi position is)

Actually, I also included this page because there is a link to a paper from Shaykh Abdal Hakim Murad called Bombing Without Moonlight: The Origins of Suicidal Terrorism which is a bit old (written last year) but which still makes timely and interesting reading. And from there one can also find links to other writings by Shaykh Abdal Hakim Murad...
