Dear Keith,
You have done all truth seekers proud! I have been through www.julyseventh.co.uk and it's so good. The clarity, the cool-headed presentation of evidence, the demolition of disinformation, the ease with which one can navigate the site - it's simply brilliant.
I have taken the liberty of requesting Iqbal Sacranie and the moderators of MCB's website to put www.julyseventh.co.uk as a recommended link on the website. I have also requested him to ensure that no MCB spokesperson should make any further statements on this issue without analysing the material on the site. Unfortunately, however, this came a bit to late. A lot of rubbish has already be aired about the alleged terrorists and their radicalisation!
May I suggest that a brief but prominent offline ad be placed in one or a couple of the national newspapers drawing attention to the site? It really deserves millions of hits!
With best regards and in deep thanks and appreciation,
AbdulWahid
About AbdulWahid Hamid

AbdulWahid Hamid, writer, editor, educationalist, teacher and community activist, was born in Trinidad in 1943. His paternal grandfather had migrated to the Caribbean from Kanpur (Cawnpore) in India while his grandmother as a young Hindu girl of 14 was kidnapped off the streets by British agents in India and taken to Trinidad as an 'indentured labourer'. His best-selling 'Islam: the Natural Way' has been translated into several languages including French, Spanish, Turkish, Bossanski, Urdu and Malay. He has recently published 'Burnishing the Heart', selections from the Qur'an for self-awareness with some personal reflections. Earlier publications include a pioneering course for the teaching of Qur'anic Arabic, and life histories of the Companions of the Prophet based on original Arabic sources. He has edited numerous books including the important 'The Meccan Crucible' by Zakaria Bashier, and more recently M. S. Kayani's 'Pondering the Qur'an' and 'The Quest for Sanity - reflections on September 11 and the Aftermath'.
Prior to arriving in Britain in 1964, AbdulWahid was a primary school teacher and had a brief sojourn as a student at Al-Azhar in Cairo. In London, while doing further 'A' levels in Latin and History, he joined the Labour Party but left in disgust at Harold Wilson's Rhodesia policy.
AbdulWahid studied history and Arabic at the School of Oriental & African Studies. A life-long activist and mentor, he has been president of the London Islamic Circle, general secretary of the Federation of Students' Islamic Societies, editor of 'The Muslim', a member of the team that launched 'Impact International' in 1970, and a mainstay of community initiatives both in Trinidad and Britain, in particular the founding and development of The Muslim Council of Britain (MCB). He was a member of the MCB panel that presented evidence to the House of Lords Select Committee on Religious Offences in October 2002. He was responsible for the major refurbishment of the Rabitah Centre and Mosque, Goodge Street, Central London under the supervision of the architect Ayyub Malik and the graphic designer Zafar Malik. His career has included work as a university lecturer and an educational consultant in Saudi Arabia and the teaching of Qur'anic Arabic in London, Chicago, Toronto, Trinidad and Bahrain.
I just discovered your site on the web, and thought that I must write in to express how glad I am that there are people involved in unearthing the truth behind what happened in London on 7th July 2005.
I have always found it very difficult to believe that sane men of British-birth and upbringing (of Muslim heritage) could be 'brainwashed' to such an extent that it would allow them to murder their fellow people - people they have been brought up with side by side, people they can relate to and understand. How is it psychologically possible?
I hope you will continue to pursue the truth no matter how 'bitter' the truth may be; I will not be surprised if the British government are behind 7/7, it serves them very well don't you think? (I am already convinced that those in power are proud and arrogant racists; and that those who seek power for the sake of it are morally corrupt).
Thank you for your excellent work and your pursuit of a noble cause (and keep it up!).
May God-Almighty Bless you, Kind regards,
Jamal
P.S. Are you a British based website? And how did you come about? (thanks).

The 7/7 site is an extraordinary achievement. I greatly appreciate the courageous work of the 7/7 group, as I am sure is true of many others across the globe. Thank you for your incredible work!
No big deal, you might think, but then the above was written by the same person who authored the excellent abstract reproduced below, Professor David MacGregor.
Professor MacGregor is the recipient of the 2005 King's University College (London, Ontario) Award for Excellence in Teaching and the same David MacGregor as cited in the Wikipedia entry for Deep Politics, where Professor MacGregor is quoted alongside the originator of the term 'Deep Politics', Peter Dale Scott.
I am truly humbled, as I hope is everyone who has helped compile the information that appears on the J7 web site.

[ABSTRACT
Pyrotechnic effects and spectacular death belong to the symbolism of terror and political assassination – bizarre techniques of miscommunication through fear practiced on the innocent and designed to effect social change. While focusing on the use of terror in 9-11, this article deals with both terror and political assassination as closely related communicative practices of death. It outlines a theory of terrorism that suggests September 11 may be an example of expedient terrorist destruction ordered from within the state, a macabre instance of a state protection racket. Commentators on the left tend to see terrorism as a blow extended by the oppressed against exploiters. However, terrorism is much less likely to be a manifestation of a revolt by – or on behalf of – the underprivileged than a demonstration of brute force by the state or its agents. Machiavellian state terrorism is terror/assassination performed for reasons different from the publicized ones; often initiated by persons or groups other than those suspected of the act; and – most important – secretly perpetrated by, or on behalf, of the violated state itself. Machiavellian state terror advances the ruling agenda, while disguising itself as the work of individuals or groups opposed to the state’s fundamental principles. As an example, the article reviews a mysterious 1971 assassination in Paris that obliquely foreshadows some critical elements of the official story of 9-11. The article underlines the importance of oppositional theorizing: questioning government and looking for connections between events are critical features of what it means to be vitally active in the political universe.
Please accept the enclosed article I wrote today, as a contribution to the debate on the London bombings.

Brief Note on the Strategical Usefulness of the Madrid and London Bombings
Elias Davidsson, 2 Feburary 2007
On April 17, 2002, a multinational opinion survey was conducted by Pew Global Attitudes Project in association with the International Herald Tribune and the Council on Foreign Relations. This survey compared the attitudes of Americans and Europeans to a number of foreign policy issues, including the war on Afghanistan, the war on terrorism and other related issues.
Commenting the results of this survey, Kenneth M. Pollack, Director, National Security Studies, at the Council on Foreign Relations, writes:
“The gap between the United States and European public opinion on dealing with terrorism continues to grow, according to the latest Pew Research Center public opinion survey of the United States and four leading European countries (Germany, Italy, France, and Britain).... Perhaps the greatest problem for the [U.S.] Administration is that it does not appear to have convinced European publics that the war on terrorism is their war... The view from the Old World seems to be that this is an American war on American enemies, not a universal struggle against evil, as the White House likes to define it... [T]hese findings suggest that the European governments are not feeling much heat from their publics to do more to help what they consider an American war on terrorism...”
On March 11, 2004, Europe got the first taste of a massive “terrorist” attack which occurred in Madrid. The next massive “terrorist” attack occurred in July 7, 2005 in London. By these bombings the “terrorists” brought home the threat of terror to Europeans and helped to make Europeans more supportive of the war against terror. These attacks provided the right climate for enacting strong anti-terrorist legislation in various European countries, including in Spain and the U.K. and strenghten the resolve of European NATO governments in supporting the global war on terror. The bombings in Madrid and London served perfectly the interests of the architects of the global “war on terror”. Whether these bombings were masterminded by these architects in order to promote their goals is a question that can only be answered by an impartial and comprehensive criminal investigation. No such investigation has been envisaged by the Spanish and U.K. authorities.

Dear J7:
Your website is supurb.
I suspect that the "copycat" events of July 21 were an intelligence cover for the murder of Jean Charles the next day. I assume he must have been connected with the power surge.
I can't find references to what I've heard were witness reports of the electrical surge or also of the reported fact that subway entrances might have been closed before the surge which might have been connected with workers doing something to the lines.
Also, if the power surge was connected to the first two 8:51 explosions, how could 50 seconds have passed before the next explosion? Would the surge have set off timers for 8:51 or would they have directly set the explosions off? I assume that there was only one surge...
I'd really appreciate your help with this. thanks.

We replied to (The ) Karin Brothers to see if she would write something for the site unaware of this article.

Hi. I'm flattered that you would ask me for a new J7 article, because I found your site so wonderful that I can't imagine what anyone could add. Actually, I'm working on an updated article based on some of the "London Bombings" book (which I have very mixed feelings about) but I've become really bogged down with presenting so much evidence coherently.
Karin
Perhaps we could publish the article she is working on. Anyone know who Karin is btw?
