While I will say that it doesn't apply to every single Muslim, I also say there are enough of the extremists to be a problem. there was never any doubt that Extremists were a problem. saying that muslims have a reputation doesn't really mean anything because it doesn't say anything about whether or not the aforementioned reputation is deserved. There are extremist christians (in surprisingly large numbers) but they tend to be A) more accepted for some reason B) slightly more subtle C) richer. There are also extremist Hindus, Jews and aetheists (you don't have to be religous to be extremist) in fact Hindu violence is every bit as strong as Islamic. Does this mean that every hindu (all 1 billion) should be distrusted or hated?

Extremism does not come from religion, Islamic terrorism does not come from Islam. Islamic terrorism comes from dissatisfied people in a state of turmoil who have turned aggressive. Suspecting all refugees from the middle east is foolish, seeing that millions of them have left to escape the very thing you're attributing to them. Christian extremism does not come from christianity, it comes from a long cultural and political build up purposefully orchestrated since the middle ages to control the population.
