Its all about perspective really "one persons terrorist is another persons freedom fighter"

some people believe in something so much that they raise awareness of the issue and protest - by commiting acts of terrorism (this is generally the result of radicalisation by fundamentalist groups)

i assume that you are refering to terrorist attacks on the west by radical islamists

this happens because;

during the cold war the US and NATO supported Israel and for political reasons the USSR supported the Arab states

and some Arabs see the west as interfering in affairs that don't concern it and so they commit acts of terror

Why do Muslims in the UK not demonstrate against this bombing and against terrorist links to Islam?

Many Muslims and their leaders and representative organisations do protest and speak out about terrorism committed by Muslims, just like people from other religions do. It does not always get media attention, but it does happen. Islam has nothing to do with terrorism. In the UK there was a lot of terrorism by the IRA in the 1970s, 1980s and 1990s, who would be said to be Christian. Christianity has nothing to do with terrorism either. Terrorists carry out terrorism, not religions. People belonging to all religions carry out terrorism, but despite what people try to make people believe, no religion preaches terrorism. Anyone who commits a terrorist act is not following their own religious teachings.
