Best Answer

Terrorism as a political tool is a form of extortion. The idea is, if you don't do what the terrorist wants you to do (whatever that may be) then the terrorist will punish you by committing acts of terrorism. This strategy may or may not be effective, in different circumstances.

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.
