Amazing that Idrees could say this with a straight face after the groups that claimed credit for 7/7 explicitly linked the bombings to Islam. From Pakistan’s Daily Times, with thanks to Nicolei:
LAHORE: The UK”s decision to deport 500 Muslim leaders, teachers and owners of Islamic bookshops is hasty, undemocratic and unjust, said a Jamaat-e-Islami (JI) official on Monday.
Talking to a group of Pakistani students studying in Britain and the USA at Mansoorah, Hafiz Mohammad Idrees, JI naib ameer, said Islam had nothing to do with terrorism, but the Western media had been implicating Muslims in every terrorist activity without any proof.
