Interesting.

However, did the muslim community get behind this man and sanctioned his actions? Perhaps his daughter was not really an apostate (yet).

Probably. Most Muslims cannot condemn suicide bombers (even on civilians) when they are pressed. However, they are also clever and will distance themselves from anything if they feel it would be in their best interest at the time. If they are in Britain, it is all "religious freedom" and "respect" openly. Once they get a high enough population, to hell with everyone else and they do as they please.

You can say the same about your average American, whether "Christian" or secularist, when it comes to, say, the atomic bombings of Hiroshima and Nagasaki.  Here's the secular Jewish American Jon Stewart reluctantly condemning the bombings on his show.  Of course, he later issued a groveling retraction, presumably under pressure from his network.      



The Good War jihadists are very clever and will distance themselves from Christian just war principles if they feel it would be in their best interest at the time.  If they are in the U.S., it's all about "revenge" for the attack on Pearl Harbor (which FDR provoked and of which he had foreknowledge) and "respect" for the American fighting man, who otherwise would have had to invade Japan, because FDR and Truman insisted on Japan's unconditional surrender rather than a negotiated settlement.
