. . . or perhaps they're a scared to speak out against anything that has been done in the name of their own religion . . . sometimes silence speaks volumes.

USA John Kerry asks moderate muslims to repudiate the distortion of Islam that ISIS spread and to define the 'real' Islam.

One hears of the general outcry and condemnation by the Muslim communities worldwide when an image of Allah is drawn and/or published. I was just wondering if the 'peace-loving' moderate Muslims would publicly criticise the fellow Islam followers who perform extremely horrible unjustified abominations.

// Why do we expect them to prove that outrage? //
Perhaps because given the fact they're not slow to prove their outrage on any number of other subjects, it's strange that they're so reticent in condemning some of the appalling things currently being done in the name of their religion.
It's especially strange considering it leads people to jump to the wrong conclusion about the peaceful nature of that religion. You'd think they'd be keen to prevent such misconceptions occurring.

As IS claim a specifically religious justification for their new Caliphate, you (as a moderate, decent Muslim) might interpret their actions as insults to the Prophet and therefore blasphemous. Any non-Muslim might then go on to ponder the disproportion between the response to beheadings, crucifixions and the desecration of holy sites practised by IS and the response provoked by the publication of "The Satanic Verses".

In answer to the OP. From the BBC website:
Senior UK imams and British Muslim community leaders have also condemned the killing.
"An attack on a British citizen is an attack on Britain and we raise our voices as a community united to deplore the actions of the terrorists Isis," Dr Qari Asim, imam of the Makkah Mosque in Leeds said.
Sayed Ali Abbas Razawi, from Majlis-e-Ulama, which represents the majority of Shia Muslims in the UK and Europe, said militants were hiding behind a "false interpretation" of Islam, describing the group as "criminals and villains".
The president of the Islamic Society of Britain, Sughra Ahmed, said: "If someone who commits such evil and such heinous crimes calls themselves the Islamic Sate, then we need to understand actually that there's nothing Islamic and there's nothing state-like or legal about the work that they're doing, about the acts that they are committing."
