Muslims killing innocent Muslim men, women and children, while in a Mosque during Friday's prayers.
Can one imagine the outcry on this site if this carnage had been the work of Westerners?
When are our Pakistani communities going to speak up and attack these fanatics, perhaps of even going to the full extent of supporting our fight against the Taliban?

well, not to nitpick geezer - but being unable to agree within their own religiion is hardly confined to muslims - A quick look back at british history will tell you that UK terrorism was largely propagated between factions within the christian religion, catholic vs protestant - not is that particular conflict anything new, runbling on as it has since the late 1600s - In fact the NI Protestants still regularly celebrate the battle of the boyne, with public marches, a battle that happened in 1690, over 300 years ago!
Perhaps AOG failed to see this response by local tribes in response to the bombing of a mosque -

Thank you for that LazyGun
But they are locals who are immediately affected.
I refer in my post to our own Pakistani communities.
Please don't say well this all happened thousands of miles away, because that has not stop them from being vocal in the past, who knows perhaps their relatives are involved.

@Geezer - Ahh looks like I misunderstood your post - i took your phrase "Good result if you ask me, they are all raving nutters anyway. They can't even agree in within their own religion! " To be exclusively directed at muslims, particularly given the subject of the Original Post.
@AOG Ahh OK - I hadn't fully appreciated your desire from a UK muslim perspective.With regard to this specific incident, it still is early days however, and those muslim sites i have looked at previously in response to news stories featuring muslim violence seem to pretty much universally condemn such violent actions - The Muslim Council of Britain, The Islamic Society of Britain, The Islamic Party of Britain.
I am not sure what sort of response would satisfy you - The ISB for instance, categorically condemn the actions of those recent protesters in Luton, as does the MCB - What else do they need to do?
As it happens, I would be with Geezer when he talks about all religions being equally kookoo,and devisive and outdated an unneccesary - but it hardly seems fair to condemn the muslim communities in Britain over a perceived lack of outrage regarding an incident that is still less than 1 day old.

Less than a day old????? this particular incident maybe, but there have been countless other such incidences taken place over the past weeks in Pakistan.
/// The Muslim Council of Britain, The Islamic Society of Britain, The Islamic Party of Britain.

Yes these organisations have made the usual tentative empty 'sound bites' and condemnation exercises.
What they haven't organised are rallies to condemn these terrorists, or even calls for their fellow country men in this country to join in the fight to rid the world of these so called 'Muslim Fanatics'.

@brionon - My argument, as you put it, equating christian discord with muslim, related to Geezers initial post. based upon a particular reading of what Geezer posted. Geezer clarified his point. What, exactly, is "lazy". as you so cleverly put it, about pointing out that various christian sects have killed, maimed and terrorised each other, exactly as is happening with the various muslim sects.Islam, like Christianity,is not a monolithic entity.
