I am speaking on behalf of many friends and relatives, mostly white of UK origin, when I say that any attacks on people, property or mosques is a sickening barbarity that makes me ashamed to be British. I lived in Bedford for 10 years until recently, and if there is any way you could pass this message on to the Muslim community there I would be grateful:

For each and every time you (forbid) receive an insulting remark or worse from a fellow Briton because of what happened on Tuesday 11th, please substitute his or her face for mine and know that there is another who cares and wants peace just like you.

Peace is at the heart of Islamic faith, as I understand it, as it was at the heart of my Grandfathers Methodist faith. For a moron to accuse the average Muslim (if there can indeed be an 'average' in such as sense) of following or supporting the Taliban, purely because of his or her faith, is the intellectual and moral equivalent of condemning my Methodist Chaplain Grandfather as being a gun-toting right-wing Christian-Militia supporter. It just does not make sense.

In hope for resolution, peace and in the true spirit of brother hood, please accept this citizen's gesture of goodwill, on behalf myself and on behalf of who I know to be a great many others. We stand shoulder to shoulder with you.

i'm an english man of no religious affiliation. i'm horrified by the evidence of anti-islamic behaviour which has increased since the bombing of new york. i would like some way of indicating my support for ordinary non violent muslims and my condemnation of anti muslim prejudice.

has your organisation considered promoting the wearing of some kind of symbol to show this, that concerned citizens like myself could wear? the obvious symbol would be a coloured ribbon with some islamic association: green with a crescent moon perhaps?

it's a small gesture but one which might help support muslims facing open hostility in their communities.

i am a white youth of 20 and christian. i do not believe that islam is to blame for this act of extreme violence. islam is wholy a peaceful religion. its just the barbaric acts by nutcases and fundementalists. i hope that you have faith with peace and we can all be friends if we take time to understand eachother.

ps, if there is any reprisals towards muslim people in this country they should be treated the same as the people who bombed new york.

May I wish all the true Muslims living in the United Kingdom peace during these troubled times, and may Allah protect you from those who would use the recent events as an excuse to attack you.

I have had the opportunity to study the Islamic faith and read the Koran and I believe the true Islamic faith is based on peace, love and mans duties to Allah and his fellow man. I know in my heart, that the persons who carried out these atrocities in the USA are not true Muslims, any more than the Catholic and Protestant gunmen and bombers in Ireland are true Christians. Instead they are the true enemies of the Islamic faith and God.

They claim to act for Alah, but He is all powerful. He does not need their help. They are blasphemers.

They claim to want to turn everybody to the Islamic faith. The Koran states there must be no coercion in religion. They lie.

They have killed many innocent people including Muslims. They are the disciples of the Devil.

The Peace of Allah be with you all.
