London

The thing that strikes me most about today's bombings in London is that the people that will be hurt the most, besides the victims of the disaster itself and their families, will be the vast majority of Europe's Muslim population that isn't Jihadist.

Did the bombers realize this? Muslims will now come under even more harassment, more suspicion, more bullying in schools, more travel restrictions, more no-fly lists at airports, more inspections and more surveillance.

Now that I think about it, maybe they did realize this? Alienating Muslims and making them feel unwelcome in Europe will increase Jihadist recruitment and it'll make it even less likely for Muslims to feel a bond with their adopted countries.

I think that this comment has been made many times already, but I don't think that England will be like Spain. The British will not only take this event in relative stride, but they'll also be far more willing to dish out retaliations... and the cycle will continue, on and on, over and over... until they (the government) starts acting in ways that it never intended to behave and starts acting with an increased level of brutality and likely freedom-curtailing. Which sucks.
