Please read this short entry from The Learning Network/Columbia Electronic Encyclopedia.

This would mean that a population of over one billion people worldwide contains a small group of dangerous radicals, a small collection of lunatics (the first two sets intersect), and quite a few more disaffected militants.

If one billion people, or even half a billion people, were acting like the Manson family, there would be many, many more dead and our cities would be on fire.

Christians don't usually appreciate being identified en masse with Pat Robertson, Cardinal Law, and whoever the most recent abortion clinic shooter happens to be.

Please don't place all Muslims in the same box. They don't appreciate it any more than the Christians do.
