Last year, Mumbai, this week Lahore.

Who's next, since we have our own home grown factions already here, should we now be concerned, if not why not?

I disagree AOG and I disagree profoundly with your contention about hriving fundamentalism.
A 100 people screaming nonsense is not a thriving movement, you can get 3 times that number on a B.N.P parade (on here even) are the B.N.P thriving?
No, they're not there a minority party a million miles away from an M.P never mind a government.
If I were a fundamentalist then the greatest recruiting sergeant to my cause would be this site, the attitudes expressed towards Muslims and immigrants would lead to the simple conclusion of "so this is what they really think of me."
Ask yourself one honest question, 12 or so Muslims protested against the nonsenses of fundamentalism, the critics of Islam are slow to speak in support of their cause, why?
It is exactly this silence, this deafening silence, that is stopping moderates standing up and being more public in their disavowal of fundamentalism.
If evil thrives when good people do nothing, then some of the contributors here need to look at themselves....

You answered the problem with your last three paragraphs.

It is because these so called 'Moderate Muslims' will not get together in their hundreds and speak up against their more funda(mental) compatriots, that they all get tarred with the same brush.

How can they expect to be trusted unless they are prepared to raise their heads above the parapet and speak out?

AOG would you be willing to stand with them? That's the question I'm posing.
You're a veteran of the war, during that war refugees from Hitler's tyranny were interned just for being German, in Jersey 1 died because of it.
Fundamentalism or rather the politics of fundamentalism is a problem for us all.
