To be fair there has been a lot of public condemnation from Muslim leaders including extremists & appeals made by them for the release this guy (less so the ex RAF chap). Partly a result of lots of campaigning by his fellow convoy members - British Muslims who've only had good things to say about him.
Actually, I will draw a little parallel as I did so earlier in the thread, this although using the same chaps, works in the opposite direction.
There is pretty universal condemnation of Westboro Baptist Church and their methods of picketing funerals etc.
I happy call them Christian fundamentalists myself.
Most of the Christian community does.
What have we done about them?
Basically nothing.
Nothing at all.
So the rest of Muslim community can condemn Isis all they like for these killing, but it won't actually change anything, it won't stop them, it won't make them listen, if anything it will further their resolve knowing that true believers dislike and disagree with them.
