HP, it's a totally different story.
It's a sad fact that today, in light of the events and actions of certain fanatical factions in recent years - I know I'm going to get flamed for this, but it's an observation - that many of Joe Public when they hear the word Muslim think terrorist. So you really have to go back and look at events that have given this image and people have to look within their own groups to see why this is happening.
Sad, but true.
When you have these looneys appearing on tv condoning terrorist acts of killing innocents and violence in the name of Allah and the Prophet and quoting the Koran, what do you honestly expect.
Anyone with have a brain knows that these people ar misguided and that's not what Islam is about, but the outward image it gives is appalling and yet nothing, nothing appears to be done by their own people to stop them.
So maybe look closer to home to place the blame.
