I think another part of the problem is that "for some reason" (we know the reason of course) people seem to be totally unwilling to accept that moderate Muslims exist and it is, in fact, the majority of Muslims. There's a LARGER proportion of more hardline Muslims than Christians (in the UK at least, I'm not so sure about the US) but the majority are not.
It reminds me of the clip that goes around of an old documentary where a working-class white family and a Muslim family are put together to have dinner in each other's homes, and the white mum is absolutely fascinated to see that they have "a PlayStation and Sky!" and that the house "Doesn't even smell like Muslims"
