Calling them all terrorists or otherwise being suspect of all of them as a whole is a common theme. We don't call all Catholics pedos because of the actions of a very small minority of their priests because we correctly understand the difference between a small subset of people who happen to be catholic and the Catholic community as a whole. Yet it when it comes to Muslims that understanding doesn't seem to be present. Any Muslim story on this forum will bring the people who enjoy sticking to boot into Muslims from whichever cave they inhabit.

Maybe it's because the of ignorance of Islam. I would still bet most people think Allah is 'the Muslim God' whereas people have a better understand of some basics of the Christian faith in the UK
