the "misguided" ones. Differentiate your religion for the positive things it stands for and stop making excuses for those who abuse your religion with their terrorist intent. The reality is that the Western media does point out that these terrorists are Muslim because they SAY they are waging jihad in the name of their religion. Get them to stop pretending like Islam justifies their actions and admit they are just fighting political wars, and I think a lot of people will start seeing muslims in a different light. As it stands now, it seems like most Muslims will never speak out very loudly or vehemently against their "muslim brother" and that doesn't make a lot of non-Muslims feel very secure in the belief that you have good intentions.
