Religious groups and charities came together tonight to condemn the attack.

Fiyaz Mughal, the director of charity Faith Matters, said: "This is the kind of butchery we saw in places like Iraq and it�s appalling it is happening here.

The vast majority of Muslims in Britain will be truly sickened. We have to come out and shout out against this type of violence. We have to say enough is enough.

We have to make clear the line between voicing dissent and extremist violence. Muslims have to hammer home that anyone advocating this kind of horrific extremism will be shunned.

The backbone of extremism has gone. What you have are cells of a few people reinforcing each other�s beliefs who are disillusioned, mentally vulnerable and often out of touch with their families.

The Muslim Council of Britain said the killers' use of "Islamic slogans" indicated they were motivated by their faith.

A statement from the council said: "This is a truly barbaric act that has no basis in Islam and we condemn this unreservedly. Our thoughts are with the victim and his family.

"We understand the victim is a serving member of the Armed Forces. Muslims have long served in this country's Armed Forces, proudly and with honour.

"This attack on a member of the Armed Forces is dishonourable, and no cause justifies this murder."

The group called for vigilance and solidarity between "all our communities, Muslim and non-Muslim", and for police to "calm tensions".

Akbar Khan from Building Bridges said: "We totally condemn the killing of an innocent person in Woolwich this afternoon.

"And we also condemn all forms of extremism wherever they are.

"The thoughts of the Muslim community are with the family of the man who lost his life, and we pray for him."

Mohammed Shafiq from the Ramadhan Foundation said: "I wish to condemn the evil and barbaric crime carried out today in Woolwich.

"Our immediate thoughts are with the family and friends of the victims. From whatever angle you see today's attack, it was at every level evil.

"We must allow the police to gather all the facts before unnecessary speculation and wait for the facts before determining its impact on our country.

"But what happens in the days to come, London and our nation will come together and will not be divided. The terrorists will never win and succeed in their evil plans.

"But tonight we think of the family of that soldier killed."

Islam is the fifth column in our country, they do not mix, traffick our young girls for sex, blow up people in the street and now decapitate our soldiers at home, they have to go for they are liars, its never their fault its always others.
Well if you look at what is happening in the world all the trouble spots are caused by , yes you guessed it, the peaceful religion, ISLAM.
Our government has no backbone, they will surrender our country to them just like they surrendered to the IRA, either get them out or prepare for more blood on our streets, YOURS.
