    As an ecumenical Christian, I embrace all faiths with open arms, but find it hard to believe in these terrorists saying this is is in the name of religion-I have studied a lot of faiths over 40 years and NONE condone violence of this nature I pray for those lost lives see rejesus.com

    I had to live in Beeston a year or so before the bombings and was still stuck there after. I found it strange when I lived there because there were a lot of explosions going on all the time. It really was firework central as though the community there had some kind of psychological problem. It makes sense to me in hindsight I never took the advice I was getting seriously, when I first moved to Beeston a reliable source said that the inhabitants of the area of Beeston had been victimised all of their lives it was the same adviser three years later who pointed me in the direction of sheffield where I got a place in a hostel and finally escaped. So there you go I am away from there now and I have plans for a future although life is hard to say the least, I face the prospect of struggling every day for over year and a half and time is going by slowly.
