Not all Muslims are terrorists
BUT all terrorists are muslims, I feel over indulgence in the religion and wrong interpretation by the elders and madrasas are causing this problem.
Just look around, 95% of terrorism in this worl are due to MUSLIMS. See Pakistan(Taliban), Southern Thailand, China (Xianjing), Hezbulla, Syria, France, UK .....
If a particular religion has problems with rest of the world then may be there is something wrong with the religion itself at the first place.... A religion which wants to destroy all other religions and people in the world.

It is true that there are Muslims who cheat, bribe and whose personal character is indeed disappointing when judged by the standard of Islam. There are black sheep in every community, and the Muslim community has theirs. It is important to bear in mind though, that display of such low ethical standards by some Muslims is a result of not following the teachings of Islam.In the current political climate, it has become fashionable to associate Islam with obscurantist ideas, and extremist behavior. Millions of Muslims worldwide focus on righteous deeds in this life, in order to attain eternal salvation in the hereafter. Muslims are the biggest community of teetotalers in the world. Every year, Muslims donate billions of dollars in charity, as part of their religious obligation of Zakat.The vast majority of law-abiding, righteous Muslims, however, do not make the headlines, the way deviants do.This has resulted in the perpetuation of negative stereotypes of Muslims. Judging Islam by the behavior of some Muslims is akin to judging a car by an erratic driver.

No doubt Islam is as pure religion as others & there is nothing as kill people for religion. But then why Muslims want to spread Islam? why dont you people let us live with our own culture & beliefs?
Anand definetely has a point in saying that there is something wrong with your religion.
