Shahara Islam

R.I.P.

Shahara Islam, from Whitechapel, east London was born in Britain to a devout Muslim family of Bengali origin. She attended the mosque every Friday, but loved western culture and fashions and regularly shopped for designer clothes, shoes and handbags.

She worked as a cashier at the Cooperative bank in Islington and died on the number 30 bus at Tavistock Square as she made her way to work from a dental appointment. She had worked for the bank for 18 months, her first job since leaving school with good A-level results.

Ms Islam, whose parents Shamsul and Romena came to the UK in the 1960s from East Pakistan (now Bangladesh), was born in Whitechapel and went to Barking Abbey Comprehensive School. Friends said she joked about carrying two mobile phones because she talked so much.

It is thought she called her cousin, Nazmul Hasan, at 9.47am on July 7, the exact time of the bombing, but he heard only background noise when he retrieved the message. "There was no voice, just the sound of people talking, and commotion in the street.

Then it went dead," he said.

She was NOT a martyr - she was a murder victim killed by Satan's disciples . . . . .
