It is true that there are some Muslims in the world who do bad things. Muslims are human, after all, and have human weaknesses. However, it is an extreme minority of Muslims. There are around 1.5 billion Muslims in the world. Even if you saw evidence of 150,000 Muslims committing atrocities, this is still only .01% of Muslims.
Additionally, much of the coverage is biased. For one thing, well over 40 million Muslims have been killed for their faith by non-Muslims in the past century. Nobody seems to mention this. The media covers attacks by Muslims, but rarely covers attacks on Muslims. Hundreds, if not thousands of mosques have been attacked in the past 10 or 15 years. These attacks are by Chaldean Christians, Coptic Christians, Baptists, Jews, and so forth, but most of this is never covered. Yet attacks on mosques by other Muslims are, even though they are a minority of attacks and seem to be happening in war zones.
I also note that when you take a look at Iraq, the acting head of state of the country was Tariq Aziz for a good 8 of the past 10 years, not Saddam Hussein, who served as a prime minister but deferred head of state to Aziz. Tariq Aziz is Chaldean, not Muslim. He is Christian. He was convicted in all sorts of nasty stuff, but the media only seemed to cover Hussein, who was not really the one in charge of it.
As for the generous and kindness, if you look at the U.S. after hurricane Katrina, you can see it. The country which offered the most aid to the U.S., per capita, was Qatar, followed closely by United Arab Emirates and Bahrain. The average donated, per citizen of their country, exceeded $2,000. That is more per capita than the U.S. government gave. Other Muslim-majority countries which provided aid included Afghanistan, Albania, Azerbaijan, Bangladesh, Bosnia and Herzegovina, Egypt, Indonesia, Iraq, Jordan, Kazhakstan, Kuwait, Malaysia, Pakistan, Palestine, Turkey, and Yemen. I know that I am missing a few. Many Caribbean nations hit by the hurricane received no aid, except from Muslim nations.

I understand there are a lot of problems going on in the world. What you see in the news is about a particular nation. There are 52 muslim countries in the world. Looking at Iraq does not generalize all Muslims. Secondly, what you see are problems because of corrupt governments. Corrupt governments exist everywhere in the world. There are corrupt governments in Latin America. Latin America is not Muslim. Also, there is a lot of political instability in those countries. It is because of the region. Especially the civil war you see in Africa is also going in countries that are not muslim. This is just a phase which countries go through. Also, let me tell you muslims are stereotyped by Arabs. Arabs are only 18% of the Muslim population. I have seen the generous and kindness of the Muslim people. It is in the West. These Muslims are making a difference. They are working to make the world realize what the real Islam is. These corrupt leaders and terrorists are a very small segment of the Muslim population. The majority of Muslims are very tolerant. They are making a change in the Western world. The biggest change has been that of the Europeans and Americans converting. Think about it. If we are troublemakers why should they convert to our religion. That is the beauty. Times will change and soon everyone will realize more of the true Islam. I hope that answers your question.

I do believe there are Muslims mad at the U.S. just like Anti-War
Americans, but I DON"T believe they are pulling off this high tech attacks that not many govenments besides the U.S. themselves can pull off.
Many countries are coming forward and accusing the U.S. of staging terror attacks. Isn't it kinda weired that bombing in countries began occurring suddenly during the Bush Administration while before Asia countries especially didn't have any bombing attacks? Countries like Italy are catching CIA officials in their countries. Moreover, the attacks that occur like 911, London Bombing attacks, and Bangkok are very high tech, going off in a timely manner. And terrorists who live in caves are doing this?
Things aren't as they seem.
