Hangarshuffle: "UK has been involved in fighting with and killing muslims in so many places over the last 20 I've now lost count,so are people really surprised if we were on the receiving end of some sort of savage retribution, justified or not?"
How could you write this stuff, straight out of radical Islamic propagation DVDs??? It is the first and biggest mistaken perception by radicalized recruits, which they use to justify everything that they are subsequently encouraged to perpetrate.
The West does not kill Muslims. The West does not hate Muslims. These are concepts which are trotted out, but have no basis in reality. On an individual level perhaps. The West has/have often gone out of their way to help Muslim communities.
To rewrite your sentence if I may, the UK's armed forces, (which contain many Muslims), have been involved in fighting baddies, ie those who violate international norms of civilized behaviour (some of whom are Muslims, maybe, although not according to some other Muslims, and some of whom are not), in many places.
Any of us who lose sight of this are asking for serious trouble.
