Islam is the second largest religion on Earth, with Christianity the largest. We all know the vast differences in practice and doctrine that can be found in differing denominations of Christianity. There are over one and a half billion Muslims in the world, so obviously there will be just as much variety of doctrine and interpretation of their holy text.
Therefore, the same "logic" that assumes that all Muslims are extremist, hate anyone outside their belief system, or are terrorists, would also assume that all Christians behave like members of the Ku Klux Klan.
Nearly every large group of people, especially religious groups, will have extremists. And for the most part the acts of these individuals don't reflect the ideals of the group as a whole. I need to remember this.
