This is such an accurate description of the situation
the fear that some people express doesn't come from curtural difference. differences would cause a different reaction, like curiosity, maybe even hate, but not fear... The fear comes from the things that a group of extremists did a few years ago, and your saying that not everyone should be treated a certain way because of that small group... the problem here is that, to be muslim, I mean a *REAL muslim, IS to be extremist in thought/mentality at the very least.
*real as in you truly believe that Islam is the one true religion and that all other religions before it are obsolete as stated by the Qur'an/Prophet AND that you are willing to do anything to please you god as a result of said belief, this goes for other religions with devoted believers/followers as well, like christians, jews ..etc
