Be afraid. Be very afraid. But try not to forget that fear is the enemy
In the days after the 7 July bombing three years ago, Londoners responded by declaring, in all sorts of ways, that they were "Not Scared". It doesn't look like that any more. A poll conducted to mark the anniversary of the bombings finds that Muslims have experienced a marked increase in hostility since the attacks. People feel threatened by Islam, and the more savage and cowardly among the population express their own corrupting fear in acts of sometimes very serious criminal bullying.
