"They seemed so religious"

The Star proudly proclaims on its front page today:

Here are excerpts from The Star report, "Malaysians: Bombers lived among us?" quoting Malaysian Azmi Shafeei who lives a few doors away from London teenage suicide bomber Hasib Mir Hussain in Leeds:

"It is shocking that my wife and I have been staying in the same neighbourhood as these people for the last two years. 

But all our neighbours seemed to be very nice and friendly. We go to the mosque and pray together, especially during Ramadan," he said yesterday in a telephone interview from his house in Leeds, about 350km north of London.

"I used to see some of them going to the mosque every day. They seemed so religious," said Azim (sic) who is from Kelaantan (sic).
