Muslim Extremists Hurting Their Own Cause

Did you see this rather big story from England today?

The report is that "..two men attacked a man believed to be a British soldier in the London neighborhood of Woolwich, but U.K. officials are already investigating it as a possible act of terrorism
One of the two men are quoted as saying "We swear by Almighty Allah we will never stop fighting you. The only reasons we have done this is because Muslims are dying every day. This British soldier is an eye for an eye a tooth for tooth. We apologize that women had to see this today but in our lands our women have to see the same. You people will never be safe. Remove your government. They don’t care about you." And all I can say is that with the reports from around the world, that so many Muslims strapped bombs to themselves and blew themselves and innocents up, time after time, their fellow countrymen, frequently, and now this, it's all creating images of Muslims and Islamists that far too many people across in many countries, Americans, British, all kinds of people, all over the world, that they think "they're all like that." This is going nowhere good for them, that's for sure, and for too many of them, they don't seem to care. How they expect this to go well for them, I don't know or understand.
In the meantime, here's something that won't get reported enough, also from today:

Woolwichattack: Religious groups condemnattack

And from this article:

...Muslim groups have condemned the attack after a video captured of the suspected attackers saying: “We swear by almighty Allah we will never stop fighting you.” A statement from the Muslim Council of Britain said: “This is a truly barbaric act that has no basis in Islam and we condemn this unreservedly. Our thoughts are with the victim and his family. “We understand the victim is a serving member of the Armed Forces. Muslims have long served in this country’s Armed Forces, proudly and with honor. “This attack on a member of the Armed Forces is dishonourable, and no cause justifies this murder.” The group called for vigilance and solidarity between “all our communities, Muslim and non-Muslim”, and for police to “calm tensions”. Mohammed Shafiq from the Ramadhan Foundation said: “I wish to condemn the evil and barbaric crime carried out today in Woolwich. “Our immediate thoughts are with the family and friends of the victims. From whatever angle you see today’s attack, it was at every level evil. “We must allow the police to gather all the facts before unnecessary speculation and wait for the facts before determining its impact on our country. “But what happens in the days to come, London and our nation will come together and will not be divided. The terrorists will never win and succeed in their evil plans. “But tonight we think of the family of that soldier killed.” So let's keep that in mind,  too, if we can.  Don't think all Muslims are for this bararity.

Purely by fluke, I ran across this flip side of the coin, so to speak, this evening, too:
