said this was extraordinary, and then he proceeded to give us the sounds of what he had heard, repeated bursts of kalashnikov fire, explosions. he thought one of them was more than a stun grenade. so, you know, clearly what happened here, even for the residents, absolutely extraordinary. another person almost in tears, telling me, you know, we feel as muslims that it s terrible for us and terrible for our religion that islam is being equated with terrorism, and, in fact, quite a lot of people are saying, you know, we desperately want the world to know that this is a peaceful neighborhood, we are loyal french people, we re also devout muslims. but, you know, islam does not equate to terrorism. so i think that s what people in this area are worried about. that there will be some kind of backlash against them.
