In the end, it's going to be regular Muslims who rise up in anger and finally destroy the radicals among them.

This is absolutely true. When can we expect them to get started?

Quite a difference in volume of response between this and incidents at American Universities. To be expected, I suppose.

They do a lot of condemning but where's the action?

More often than not an attack of this nature is not viewed as extreme Muslims vs normal Muslims but rather a particular tradition (Shia or Sunni), or sect (Wahhabi), or political faction (Taliban), or tribal rival (Pashtuns in the semi-autonomous region of Pakistan), or ethnic (in Afghanistan- Pashtun, Uzbek and Tajik to name a couple) or... well, I think you might get the idea now. Basically, the reaction most often feeds into established hate/rivalry which serves to increase and feed into the radicals rather than defuse them. It is fairly rare for a radical group to attack what is seen as it's own people with the exception of self regulation which can be extremely harsh as seen with the Taliban and Daesh while in governance.
