Now you'd expect that Al Qaida would not be happy that their actions could have the effect of putting Muslims at risk. However, I suspect that they follow the logic of the Baader-Meinhoff gang and the Red Brigades: force repressive measures and harvest the resulting discontent in the form of recruitment and radicalisation of your oppressed masses. It's a pity that current responses are playing right into the terrorists' hands and I suspect are likely to continue to do so.
On another tack, we should note that several Muslim leaders have already condemned the bombings, eg. "the Islamic Human Rights Commission, appealed for calm and condemned the bombings."
However, I would still have to say that we are waiting for major Ulema to issue fatwas to that effect...
