Funny, how they did not do a damn thing to fight Al Qaeda until they were attacked. Funny how there are still Al Qaeda camps there.

If there are Al Qaida camps there, it's not because they did nothing. But then, you should know this, know that there is a full scale war going on in the mountains of Pakistan.

The War[18][19][20] in North-West Pakistan is an armed conflict between the Pakistani Army and Islamist militants made up by local tribesmen, the Taliban and foreign extremists. It began in 2004 when tensions rooted in the Pakistani Army's search for al-Qaeda members in Pakistan's mountainous Waziristan area (in the Federally Administered Tribal Areas) escalated into armed resistance by local tribesmen.

Clashes erupted between the Pakistani troops and al-Qaeda's and other militants joined by local rebels and pro-Taliban forces. The Pakistani actions were seen as a part of the War on Terrorism, and had connections to the war and Taliban insurgency in Afghanistan.[21][22]

After a truce in September 2006, clashes escalated again in 2007, with local tribesmen ousting militant Uzbeks and attacking the Pakistani security forces again in July 2007.

3,228 militants killed[10][11][12][13][14][15]
(488 foreign fighters [16])

1,000 killed
(Pakistani[5] and US[6] claim)

Other estimates:
1,625 soldiers and policemen killed,
35 tribesmen killed[7],
2,259 soldiers wounded[8],
610 soldiers and policemen missing or captured[9]

In other words, between 1000 and 1700 people gave their lives while assisting to kill over 3200 militants in Al Qaida territory. How is it you feel free to toss around the lie that nothing was done???

There is no way to separate them and the Muslim community has brought this upon themselves. Oh, I know maybe we can ask them to form 2 separate lines. Ones that support terrorism and ones that do not. Fortunately it's easy to separate you from someone who knows a damn thing.
