I think you could say the exact same thing about the Christian community, though. The Christian community does have a public relations problem, and it's due in part to the fact that moderate Christians aren't standing up to the radical factions. And the hate we're getting from the rest of the world right now is nothing compared to what we'll get in the future if we keep letting Christianity be a drumbeat for war.
The problem isn't Islam or Christianity. The problem is that violent fundamentalism runs too strong in both religions.
