Met Police advise people to avoid Central London tomorrow. Just spoken to my boss and have been told not to travel to work until Monday.

Lots of us are a bit down after what happened today especially those who live or work in London or those who have friends or relatives in the capital.

Sounds like a good policy Pete. Being a Friday, I think a lot of people will take the day off tomorrow and return on Monday. To be honest, I think the government should declare tomorrow a day of mourning, for two reasons:

1. To allow people to take stock of what's happened.
2. To give the authorities in London time to investigate what's happened and get the tube/bus/rail networks back into some sort of order without having to handle millions of commuters tomorrow.

There is an argument that life should carry on as normal tomorrow to show that terrorism hasn't won, but practicality should come into it as well.

May be soon Muslims will have their own enlightnment so that we can stop this nonsense. Signs of enlighthenment is everywhere actually in the muslim world but the orthodoxy is so afraid of losing its grip on the religion that it is attacking the moderates and other interpretations vehemently just like inquisition did. I would not be surprised if we have protestant Islam developing in the next 50-100 years.

p.s. I do not consider myself Muslim, but rather a deist.

You made some interesting points there turkcyp. But I thought your final paragraph was most interesting and not something I'd even thought about before. When you talk about 'protestant islam', what form do you think this would take, would it effectively be a split between radical and secular islam... so in other words, would we see protestant islam take the form of islam that exists in the Turkish and Syrian example?

If this protestant/orthodox islam split does occur, do you think it would result in conflict between the two branches? In other words, would the 'unthinkable' happen of Muslim fighting Muslim (I know it's happened many times before, but it's always depicted as unthinkable by orthodox Muslims).
