The common error here is to confuse all Muslims with terrorism.

I have lived among Muslims, and found those I knew and liked to be highly civilized, caring people concerned, like we are, for family and home and children.

I have also seen and spoken to Muslims who were treasonous and engaged in political schemes of violence.

I suppose the same extremes are found among other religious groups; the spotlight on fanatic Islamic fundamentalism should not fool you into painting all Muslims withthe same brush. To let it do so would be to subscribe to generalized hatred which is never a good idea. If you do not choose your targets wisely, you will be weakened by your own efforts in hating the wrong things.
