7/7 was a demonstration not terrorism

For Professor Geaves, one facet of the "first-hand, lived experience" of Islam in today's Britain is conveyed by acts of "demonstration" - rather like those carried out by fox hunting supporters or disgruntled pensioners, one supposes. Of course, given that many experiencers of Islam are somewhat more likely to "rock the boat" than their morally equivalent counterparts in the pension reform movement, their demonstrations can at times become a little more "extreme", bless 'em.
One such demo (incidentally killing 52 non-demonstrators) was that carried out in London on July 7, 2005, by four members of the British Muslim community - who, in the words of our Professor, were simply carrying out "an extreme form of demonstration".
"The word terrorism is a political word which always seems to be used to demonise people."
