Start with the actions of middle easterners at the Munich Olympics. Follow it through the Achille Lauro to attacks on the WTC (twice, remember?). Targeting and killing civilians tends to make most people, with good reason, mistrustful of middle easterners.
If the vast majority of Moslems do not reign in the violent radical elements in their communities, those radical elements will bring destruction to many Moslems.

Because a few minority hard-core fanatics (Osama bin Laden) killed a whole lot of innocent civilians, and bought hate and fear down upon their countrymen.
