Did you do the 2mins Silence for the 7/7 Victims

what exactly is the benifit of being silent for two minutes ?

does it imply that we remember those victims for 2 mins and then get back to work ....i think its more disrespectful than respectful

Um... at what time exactly was this silence supposed to be observed?

I THINK THERE'S TOO MUCH SILENCE IN REGARDS TO THE WAR ON TERROR.

no because a two minutes silence isnt going to do anything b i didnt even know what time we were supposed to be quiet
loads of muslims are being killed and their deaths are going like their lives meant nothing

There Are Daily Bombings In Iraq, Palestine .... But None Of Those People Remember Them...... But If A Single Bomb Explodes In Their Country And Few R Killed... Then They Mark That Day And Remember Annually...........

It's the same for most nations.

I done it involentarily i was t akin a nap.

I never do the 2 min thing on my own type thing, I dont see why, even before islam in the sense that, whenever people do it, to me its like making others remember, where as if I died I wouldnt want people to feel as thought they have to keep the silence, if they want to they can thats all.

But I dont see the practical need for it, respect is shown through the way we will live everyday life. keepin silence 4 2 minutes aint that much of a thing specially considering that alot of people jus thinkin about it then and then dont ever

Plus I think we were made to observe the silence for 9/11 too, I mean so its not jus a uk accident thing.

Anyhow, I would love to have all muslims in the world hold a two minute silence at 12:00 on a day that would bring unity, whether they at work or schol or what ever, true unity and an opportunity for da'wah

i was thinking, the unjust ways of this country may vexx some people so much that they may decide to bomb them more so they get more of a feeling of what palestine/iraq etc go through. I mean just for one day they make such a huge issue when palestinians suffer like this everyday, in order for them to "feel better" they would have to do a 10 hours silence everyday!

Well I hope it wasnt shown to be disrespectful to the people that died. I just dont see the point in the minute silence. It fastruates me sometimes, in the sense that some people are so excessive about taking this minute silence.

yet if you were to ask people what would u want people to take from your death if you die. people would say stuff like 'I want people to realise how special life is' or 'I want people not to moan about little things' 'I want people not to take their family for granted'

hardly anyone would say I wanta minute silence, so logically, if most people wud say such things, if we were to reallly want to respect them then we would do the things such as not take life for granted, yet people do the minute silence and then straight after moan about a bus being late or about not being allowed to go to the pub because their wife needs them.

I hate that!
