Perception within the world is a most amazing thing!
Example:
A blind man setting on the shore of a distant beach, feels the tide rise and senses the first small wave from the inflow of the tide strike his foot. This is the first time he has ever felt the ocean strike his body. With no one else around he becomes frightened, and not knowing what to make of it, yells as loud as possible, there is a Tsunami upon us, everyone run for your lives, for it shall surely kill us all.
This same type of understanding and ignorance is what the world is shrouded in today. Chicken Little has spoken, and has indeed frightened everyone.
A few idiots create such havoc and misery for many God fearing humans. I hope humanity will indeed learn a great lesson from this tragic moment in time!
"Peace be always with you."

Some people blame ALL Christians for a handful of bad people who abused the justice system during the Salem witch trials. Knowing how wrong that is, I do not blame the vast majority of Muslims for the few bad apples among them.

W hats all the nonsense about killing anyone who wont convert to Islam is that why there were thriving communities of Christians living in the middle east for hundreds of years
there were a million and a quarter Iraqi Christians before the Invasion now theres now theres 0.8 million left .Islam has no need to Kill Christians they`re doing a good enough job of killing each other
.Palestine has also been as good as ethnically cleansed of the Christian community who had lived there from the time of Jesus .and also not by Muslims . may be you should ask if we blame all Christians for the actions of the minority
this is coming from someone white and not Muslim or Christian

If the majority of Muslims do not denounce the actions of that "tiny minority", then I have no other choice but to assume that the majority agrees with them. The saying that "silence gives assent" is never more true than when a fanatic claims to act on behalf of all; if there are no voices contradicting him and speaking for the majority, I can only presume that he is speaking the truth, and has, in fact, been acting with their blessing.

Talk about having your eyes closed. No one really gets it. Two thousand years and no one has grasped the basic, inherent flaws of the Islamic ideology.
Islam teaches no response to conscience. Islam teaches blind allegiance to duty. The need for peace outweighs any call for love. Peace is used to advantantage. Peace is maleable and can be shaped to whatever form is needed. The illusion of peace can be maintained even in time of conflict. Conflict betweeen master and slave in times of militaristic peace is still conflict.
Show the passages of the Quran that identify the actions of man produced by love for Allah. Actions are performed for Allah as a duty. Those who fail in performance of that duty are killed. It is shameful to not perform that duty, not a matter of conscience.
Infidel will conform to the demands of Allah because Allah demands it. It is infidel's duty to bend and pay appropriate fines. Infidel will be the slaves of those who dutifully serve Allah. Infidel may be allowed to live so long as he does not question. Allah has no companions, divine or of flesh.
The very same conditions apply to the Muslim who worships Allah. No saving grace. No companionship. No response from a good conscience. No room for external or internal questioning. No compulsion to love. Nothing but duty that produces shame for the disobedient.

No, but-----and this 'but' is supported by almost all the answers to your question and also applies to any minority in any country.

Absolutely not. That would be like blaming all Christians for the acts of a few, or all women for the acts of a few. People that persecute an entire religion/race/etc for the actions of a few are in the wrong, and they are too close-minded... after all, playing cowboys and indians isn't any different than playing nazis and jews....

Certainly not. Although sometimes I wish they would speak out against it a little more and try to stop it. A couple of the muslims I know feel ashamed to be muslim because of them, which is really, really sad.

Of COURSE not. There are many Muslims who are good, moral people. Hating all Muslims because of the minority would be committing the same crime as the jihad-preaching radicals: hating an entire group of people because you think that they are ALL bad.
There are good people everywhere, and we can't judge them because of what groups they are associated with, but only on their individual character.
