Al Shabaab hate video puts moderate British Muslims lives at risk:

http://www.independent.co.uk/news/uk/crime/alshabaab-hate-video-puts-moderate-british-muslims-lives-at-risk-8890286.html

************
Moderate British Muslims have been warned by police that their lives are in danger after speaking out against extremists.
Several prominent Muslims were named in a hate video posted by al-Shabab militants, the terror faction which massacred unarmed shoppers in Kenya, as targets for fundamentalists.
At least one commentator, Mohammed Ansar, is now under police protection following the threat to murder him for condemning the killing of soldier Lee Rigby in Woolwich, London, on May22.

Occasionally one hears the rhetorical question "where are the moderate Muslims?"
Answer, apparently: under police protection.
