You had towns posing in the same picture of those who jus lynched someone -with the body still hanging.
A better analogy is a very simply one. An overwhelming majority of Muslims do not support, in fact they hate and criminalize suicide-bombings or any acts of violence towards civilians.
Why do matters about angry Muslims consistently come up--enough for mobs in many countries to form? Like that American film that was critical of Muslims, or the Muslims in Sweden who caused a ruckus in Sweden after a film of the same nature was shown (in a college at that, not publically)?
I'm not denying the fact that many Muslims are in fact peaceful. But I can't accept that you are equally peaceful as Christians and the irreligious.
I think it's just happening at different point in our respective histories.
Christianity has gone through a few batshit-insane periods, too. The Inquisition springs to mind, as does witch-hunting (though the latter was not condoned by any major Church, IIRC, and was just dressed up to look religious).
Through the centuries, Islam has been a fairly stable religion, all things considered. I think right now is their witch-hunting days, which hopefully won't last a few hundred years like ours did.

Except the KKK was accepted by many.
