Poor David Cameron. No sooner has he bestowed his blessings on British Muslims to mark the start of Ramadan (which the rest of us don't care about), but now he has to once again declare that today's massacres in France, Tunisia, Kuwait and Somalia have nothing to do with Islam.
The French blog Gallia Watch remarks that Cameron is speaking to his Muslim subjects as if they were children.

No sooner are those words out of his mouth than he has to make a public statement about the body counts that also are marking the start of Ramadan.

I don't know about you, but I think I will take ISIS at their word.
To say that these events had NOTHING to do with Islam is like saying that burning witches at the stake had NOTHING to do with Christianity. It would be more correct to say that these acts are a perversion of [Christian / Islamic] teaching. I'm not sure one can say that burning witches was done by a minority sect though... it had pretty widespread approval in post-medieval Europe and in Puritan Massachusetts.
