"The London terrorist attack could simply widen the scope of harassment of Arabs and Muslims." -- Hussein Abdel-Raziq, Al-Ahali

"The Egyptian Foreign Ministry should have issued a strong statement demanding that the Iraqi government bring the killers to justice. Egypt should send an investigative team to Iraq." -- Mohamed El-Shabba, Nahdet Misr

"Despite the fact that the decision to reduce the size of the Egyptian diplomatic mission in Baghdad was delayed, it was a step in the right direction." -- Nabil Zaki, Al-Wafd

"The countries [fighting the war on terrorism] are fighting a ghost who might retaliate in any capital, airport or hotel." Ghassan Charbel, Al-Hayat

"It was never clear to us why British authorities grant visas to Arabs who are indicted in their homeland in political crimes and crimes related to religious fanaticism, with some even sentenced to death." -- Abdel-Rahman Al-Rashed, Asharq Al-Awsat

"That some of the victims of the London attacks were Muslims proves that terrorists do not differentiate between the race or colour of their victims." -- Al-Raya
