Uzair grew up in a secular household . His religious views became more conservative when he attended a university in Britain . He told '' TIME Magazine '' , " I wanted some inner discipline . Since I have come to Islam , I have a lot of tranquillity . " Speaking on terrorism , " The majority of Muslims in the U.K. are frustrated , but they can not speak . They will not condone the London bombings , but inside they believe that Britain had it coming . Muslims are being killed all over the world through the foreign policy of the U.K. and U.S . Many feel they can not sit around and do nothing about it . What is the difference between a suicide bomber and a B-52 ? I really feel that war has been declared on Islam . " In an interview with '' BBC Newsnight '' , Uzair said , " We do n't live in peace with you any more . The banner has been risen for jihad inside the UK , which means it 's allowed for the bombers to attack ... I would never go to the police because I believe that spying on Muslims is never allowed . I am a British citizen but I am a Muslim first , a Muslim second and a Muslim last . Even if I am British , I do n't follow the values of the UK - I follow the values of Islam . " Uzair said the British government had broken the " covenant of security " with British Muslims
