I feel empathy because most Muslims are not radical terrorists or war mongers just as most Christians or literate people are not religious racists. However, despite this fact, Muslims are still treated badly by some individuals because of the misdeeds of others. People who want to judge need only to look at all the worlds major religions to realize that the majority was spread by the sword, Christian and Islam alike, which is exactly why I am not a member of any religion.
The KKK are not radical Christians. The KKK is a religion in and of itself.

To Calvin: How many Christians stood up and spoke out when the Christian bombers blew up abortion clinics which killed people or when they shot the doctors and/or nurses dead? These are Christian terrorists. They are no different than the Muslim terrorists. Whether you have a god or not, there is no , I mean no excuse for murder. I t is inherently wrong. It makes as much sense as the Crusades or any other war mongering religious excuse people make up. And of course I feel empathy for Muslims around the world just as I do for all mankind. Peace and love.

Key word being here -- RADICAL. Also, people interpret many things as they want to believe and mold that interpretation as the actual truth.
Most terrorists of today are Muslim, but not all Muslims are terrorists. Most Muslims are actually peaceful citizens, so yes, I do sympathize with you.
I do get the KKK comparison. How would most Christians feel if people singled every Christian as a radical, violent terrorist? They'd try to defend themselves, wouldn't they? It is OK to have reasonable doubt, because of what you see and hear, but it is past reasonable when you're burning down people's homes, tossing them into jail, denying them any right as a citizen all because of their faith.

I am sorry but this argument holds little water with me. If there were Christians here in America running about terrorizing the world, slaughtering people in other nations in mass, and doing all this in the name of Christ we would do something about it. We would not run about the Earth proclaiming "well that's them it isn't us". Nor would we start telling people the reasons they deserve such actions immediately after our brief condemnation of it.
Such blatant shaming of your religion and gods name should cause the entire world of Islam to rise up, say "no more", and put a end to it.
There seems to be acceptance of these things with many a Muslim, and that is not my definition of a religion of peace, nor can I imagine that it would be anyone elses.
A argument that people are simply narrow-minded is not going to be credible when people watch a man get his head sawed off on the nightly news, and dead silence across the world of Islam.

Most people in my country are judging Muslims by the defeaning silence that is heard whenever there is another Muslim terrorist atrocity (yes, I know all terrorists aren't muslims). Muslim Leaders do not come out with strong condemnation against these acts, though they are more than happy to comment and condemn the western lifestyle, especially how our women behave. Of course, this makes better press than the former, so it is more reported, but still, they should come out and condemn these terrorist actions more vocally.

It's unfortunate that people judge any religion by the radical extremist, but then even as a Christian, I feel I have a responsibility to control the extremists of my faith.

Not really. I wish that all religious people would snap out of their delusions, but I try to tolerate their religious behavior as long as it harms no one. It would be a MUCH better world if we all tried to understand each other more. "Empathy" might be a bit strong, but more tolerance and understanding could only help.

properly if that they had not been so ill with hatred then in line with possibility it would not have occurred yet no one is familiar with how that style of hatred fairly happens because of the fact it probably takes an entire life to develope even however i don't experience any sympathy in the direction of somebody that resorted to one among those element i purely happy that individual is long gone or in detention center
