why are they not up in arms about this type of thing. Why are they not rounding up in numbers to show their own solidarity in ostracising these fanatics?

Could it be that they are not as accepting of Western ways/cultures as they would like to think they are? It's certainly a possibility. Given the link to terrorism - It does make me wonder why this isn't happening.

[/B]Yes, it's amazing isn't it? I'm beginning to think their deafening silence and lack of action is more indicative of a tacit approval of the fanatics' methods. If there is increased resentment and suspicion of muslims from the general population it's hardly surprising is it? And by "general population" I am not just referring to white, christian Britons, but to a fair few other ethnicities who are equally fed up with what they see as special treatment of muslims.

We all know how well a policy of appeasement went down 70 odd years ago! Acceptance of barbaric and medieval practices is NOT tolerance, it is wilful and dangerous neglect of a growing threat in our country. If "moderate" muslims don't want to be tarred with the same brush, they need to start being a hell of a lot more vociferous in their renouncement of violence.
