There should be good propaganda value in this

Taliban militants in Afghanistan have set off a bomb in a bathhouse where people were bathing in preparation for Friday prayers.

It seems like there should be good propaganda value in attacking them for the utterly un-Islamic act of blowing up Muslims as they were preparing to go pray. This is somewhat like the situation we'd have if a bunch of Christian extremists were blowing up people as they queued to enter church on Sunday morning: perhaps a statement that those Muslims aren't Muslim enough, but also an attack on Islam per se.
