Something on the journey is 　　39　　 　. I am not 　40　　 　anything that would indicate I am a Muslim . I normally do not 　　41　　 　it is Friday and I am on my way to prayers .　　 42　 　I sense an uneasiness in the carriage . People are 　43　　 　. No one is speaking and it must be said that no one is being 　　44　　 　unfriendly towards me . But I think the 　　45　 　　I get are different . I am being checked out , sized up . It is all a bit uncomfortable .

People are looking around for things and people 　　46　　 　look suspicious (可疑的). I am doing it a bit 　　47　　 　and in the coming days , as more claims are made about the people who did this and their aims , that feeling is likely to get 　　48　 　. As you look around the 　49　　 　, it is difficult to know what people are thinking . Some are 　　50　　 　thinking “those Muslims come here and look what they do” but they 　　51　　 　understand we condemn (谴责)this like everyone else .

Whoever did this didn’t 　　52　　 　about who was killed or whether they were Christian or Muslim . They just had no respect 　　53　　 　human life at all . We all travel around London and we use public transport . We have a much fear as anyone else about 　　54　　 　in something . But in the coming days , everyone is going to have to work together and keep calm . We will look out for each other and that’s how we will 　　55　　 　this difficulty .
