The fall-out from the failed attacks
| 15:06 UK time, Tuesday, 3 July 2007
Virginia in Oregon's just emailed me. 'I wonder how many other Americans are as disgusted as I am that Libby was pardoned by Bush today. I was so irritated I turned the TV off.' Well I can tell you that we are receiving over 500 emails an hour on . Join the throng...
The bulk of the show though will be spent looking at the ramifactions of the for Britain's communities....
The Muslim Council of Britain (MCB) held a press conference today. It condemned the planned attacks in Glasgow and London, called the people, behind them "enemies of all of Muslims and non-Muslims". It also reiterated that it's "unacceptable to hold any one faith group or any community as being somehow collectively responsible for the actions of the few".
All that said though, what has been the impact on the lives of British Muslims in the past few days? Has their relationship with the non-Muslims in their communities been affected? And do all Muslims share the opinions of the MCB? Do some maybe have some sympathy with the attackers? We'll have a guest from the MCB to respond to your questions and comments.
WHAT YOU DO WHEN WE'RE ON AIR
It's becoming a daily treat reading the new accounts that you're sending in of where you listen to the show. Bonny in Ohio is my favourite today. 'Hi. Here in Ohio between 1-2 PM, I save all my dishes to wash while WHYS is on air. It's my excuse to stand next to the radio. And still be productive.' If you'd like to tell us what you do when you listen this is where to go.
WE'LL TAKE A BOAT TO THE LAND OF DREAMS
It's more likely to be a plane that gets us to New Orleans but let's not worry about the detail. We're travelling out to do a one-off show on June 19th and if you'd like to come and take part, drop me an email.
THERE IS A PODCAST
Not quite there isn't, but it's coming. Which is good news for Ian in the States who sent me this email....
'Ros, I was wondering if WHYS has plans to podcasting? I love WHYS and have spread the word of your program to my friends and family. Sadly, though, I am unable to listen to the program live. I have found the link to the replay, but podcasting would be easier in some cases. I thought I would pass the idea along in the hope that it might help. Keep up the great work!'
In fact as I'm writing this, Liliane (who's overall Editor of News here) has just walked in and says she isn't sure exactly when the WHYS podcast will launch but says 'hopefully in the next month'. I'll keep you posted.
Speak to you later.
