I think the most disturbing to me is when I hear muslims in the UK interviewed, and while they say the right things, that the people who did this cloaked themselves in Islam wrongly, and so forth...but then turn around and basically in a sense justify what they did, saying "look at the Muslims being killed all over the world". If someone commits a horrible act, you don't justify it, and on top of that, what they are saying is just as stupid as the people who committed this. People in Afghanistan or Pakistan are not dying because they are Muslim, they generally are dying because either they are Islamic terrorists, responsible for terrorist attacks, or they are unfortunate victims of the attacks. They have a point about Iraq, but again it was political, not religious. And of course it leaves out that the allies went into Afghanistan because the Afghan government (and their allies in the Pakistani ISI) were protecting Osama Bin Laden and the Al Qaeda leadership, who had committed an act of war. Either an act is barbarous and bad or it is not, but justifying one with another is basically supporting it in my opinion. That soldier didn't kill the people in Pakistan, he didn't decide the policy, if he even served there he did so under orders.
And these same people will talk about fear of backlash, of retaliation, and they can't see that the retaliation they fear (which is horrible) is if you use their argument is just as valid as the reasons the two jackoffs who hacked that soldier to death had; those going after the mosques argue that Muslims killed the soldier, the two 'jihadists' killed a soldier, claiming he was responsible for Aghanistan or whatever...
