"On the other hand I don't see too many Muslim groups condemning their actions. Maybe they figure they're not Muslim".-- Richard Warwick, London

Islam is a religion for personal/individual belief and identity. Sure majority do believe in the common laws, however, from the beginnings of Islam's history, it has been split and fragmented into many divisions, sects, schools, traditions, cultural differences... From the main Sunni, Shia, Sufi, Kharijite to sub-divisions/schools: Hanafi, Barelwi, Deobandi, Hanbali, Hanbali, Maliki, Shafi'i, Ash'ari, Maturidi, Murjite, Mu'tazili..and so on. Further reading ( http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Divisions_of_Islam ). The western idea of a single united threatening group, whose terrorist act must be condemned by ALL Muslims is misleading. Most likely 95% of the other sects may class them (terrorists) as non-muslims or traitors, even if they hadn't caused these attacks.

As already stated I think "misguided" sums it up. I'm of the persuasion that most people have no real direction in life but preaching violence in a twisted belief that this is somehow representative of a religion is a case apart. Those old monotheistic religions, creakingly inadequate in the modern world, do at least contain a moral framework for behaviour and the incitement of violence is not amongst them. Therefore such individuals who so incite are ultimately self-stylised and non-representative of their religions. On the other hand I don't see too many Muslim groups condemning their actions. Maybe they figure they're not Muslim.

I suppose it was too much to hope for that they would arrest the protesters outside the Old Bailey.
