Muslims condemn attacks in London

Faithful at London mosque fear they'll pay for bombings

As the faithful gathered at London Central Mosque for Friday prayers, many expressed shame and anger, even as feared a backlash even as they condemned the deadly terror bombings as anti-Islam.
Near Regents Park, a few metres (yards) from Park Road where the British capital's iconic red buses and black taxis stream by, hundreds of Muslims gathered before their place of worship, topped with a gold cupola.
The prayer area is full and kneeling men bow low as one and touch their heads to the carpet covering the ground.
"As citizens and co-workers of this great city -- London -- we share the concerns and fears of fellow Londoners," said imam Ashraf Salah, a day after four blasts killed at least 50 people on the subway network and a bus.
"We use the same transport and live and work in the same buildings and any attack is an attack on us all."
One of the blasts, at the Edgware Road underground rail station, took place just a few hundred metres from the mosque.
