Because some people are ignorant. It's not the whole world that thinks that way but a few. You can't make a generalization like that. There are millions and millions of people out there that know that terrorists come from all walks of life. Just look at the Fundamentalist Christians that blow up abortion clinics.

The whole world doesn't think all Muslims are terrorist. But the terrorist appear to be all Muslims (granted extremist Muslims, but Muslims none the less). I believe a lot of prejudice would go away if there were more shouts denouncing terrorism from the Muslim community.

More than shouts against terrorism, the Muslim world needs to be proactive against terrorism. That means no longer funding them, sheltering them or condoning them in the press. Those who advocate terrorism or violence, even if they do not do violence themselves, are guilty of inciting others to perform it. Even worse are those who do this violence in the name of God.
So long as Muslim nations like Saudi Arabia and Iran and Pakistan continue to allow terrorists to find shelter, the perception will be that Muslims = terrorists. The rest of the world cannot change this, the change must take place in these nations. Good Muslim people must tell their governments that they will not accept the violence, and that it is unacceptable that a wicked minority -- including the Imams who call for jihad -- has shamed their religion.

Great question!
Imams and Clerics of Islam have declared a holy jihad [Holy war] against the Infidels of the world and, that by killing an infidel, (which is a Command to all Muslims) they are assured of a place in heaven.
The definition of an infidel? A "Non-believer!"
Seeing that our country is mostly made up of those with non-Muslim beliefs, they have declared a war against us.
All followers of Allah have been commanded to kill everyone who is not of their faith so they can have a place in Heaven.

I'll let the Koran speak for itself.
(Koran 8:12) "Remember Thy Lord inspired the angels (with the message): "I am with you: give firmness to the believers, I will instill terror into the hearts of the unbelievers, Smite ye above their necks and smite all their finger tips of them."
(Koran 2:216) "Warfare is ordained for you, though it is hateful unto you; but it may happen that you hate a thing which is good for you and it may happen that you love a thing which is bad for you. Allah knoweth, you knew not."
(Koran 69:30-37) "It is not for any Prophet to have captives until he hath made slaughter in the land. You desire the lure of this world and Allah desires for you the hereafter and Allah is Mighty, Wise.. Now enjoy what you have won as lawful and good and keep your duty to Allah. Lo! Allah is forgiving, merciful."
(Koran 69:30-37) "(It will be said) Take him and fetter him and expose him to hell fire. And then insert him in a chain whereof the length is seventy cubits. Lo! he used not to believe in God the tremendous, and urged not on the feeding of the wretched. Therefore hath he no lover hear this day nor any food save filth which none but sinners eat."
(Koran 5: 33-34) "The only reward of those who make war upon Allah and His messenger and strive after corruption in the land will be that they will be killed or crucified, or have their hands and feet and alternate sides cut off, or will be expelled out of the land. Such will be their degradation in the world, and in the Hereafter theirs will be an awful doom; Save those who repent before ye overpower them. For know that Allah is forgiving, merciful."
(Koran 22: 19-22) "These twain (the believers and the disbelievers) are two opponents who contend concerning their Lord. But as for those who disbelieve, garments of fire will be cut out for them, boiling fluid will be poured down their heads. Whereby that which is in their bellies, and their skins too, will be melted; And for them are hooked rods of iron. Whenever, in their anguish, they would go forth from thence they are driven back therein and (it is said unto them): Taste the doom of burning."
(Koran 76: 4) "Lo! We have prepared for disbelievers chains, yokes and a blazing fire."

For starters, you are wrong; the whole world doesn't think that. When you make an ignorant generalization like that, your question itself is written off as ignorant.
