Blue on blue?

Whenever I hear of a mosque being burned or a muslim attacked my hypocrisy sensor starts twitching, pretty much as it has done over the BBC headlines over the mosque in Tipton bombing being a terrorist attack. The reason being of course that the only terrorists operating in the UK at the moment are of course muslims...
BBC.
An explosion which left nails and debris strewn outside a mosque was "an act of terrorism", police have said.
The blast happened on a disused railway line near Binfield Street in Tipton in the West Midlands at about 13:00 BST.
A nearby shopkeeper said: "I did tell the police there to evacuate the area, please for god's sake - there were nails all over the place."
Counter terrorism officers were called in and the surrounding area was closed off for several hours.
I can pretty much guarantee you that the culprit if found, won't be a member of the EDL or other patriot groups, but will have links to the islamic community as the arrested person for the Somali community centre is as the teens arrested for burning the islamic school are.
There is a concerted effort going on at the moment to try and put muslims back into the victim category which the liberal leftist  want them to be in whilst calling the rest of us racist bigots. Problem for the liberal leftists being that it's a case of shutting the barn door after the horse has fled.
It's also noticeable that the bomb was placed when there were few people about, I rather doubt that anyone not connected with the community would know the normal times, never mind the ramadam times. As with a previous bomb, I can't help but suspect that these are attempts to garner sympathy. If they aren't then it's probably a sunni/shia thing.
My opinion such as it is, is that this was muslims bombing muslims, not unheard of and definitely one of their more obnoxious habits during ramadam.

Park Methodist Church Bombing - Bomb set off on railway line behind Methodist Church - Catholic Defence League suspected of attack.

(This church is slap-bang alongside the 'threatened' mosque.

It could equally have been people building a bomb to explode somewhere else and it went wrong.

Absolutely - people with such values do such things.

The more this case pans out the more it looks like either a case of 'bearded Savage vs bearded savage' or a fake attack to claim victimhood.

The fact that a nearby house in an area dominated by Islam was the site of a 'controlled explosion' makes either above scenario much more likely.

I was also disgusted to see the senior local police officer standing alongside the local 'shariah-ocracy' mouthing calls for calm, and the rather disingenously sounding Imam.

Religion of peace - my arse!
