Meeting with Muslims

American Muslims offered condolences to British Ambassador David Manning and called the London bombings "barbaric crimes."

Mr. Manning told them the bombings should not be linked to Islam, which he described as a religion of "peace, reconciliation and tolerance."

Representatives of the Washington-based Council on American-Islamic Relations and the Coordinating Council of Muslim Organizations met with Mr. Manning on Friday at the British Embassy.

CAIR Chairman Parvez Ahmed signed the book of condolences and called the attacks "barbaric crimes that can never be justified of excused."
