I disagree.
Islam, by definition, is extremist. I challenge you to find me one Muslim cleric that flat out says killing in defense of Islam is perverting its teachings. It's most often overlooked, or avoided by those that try to paint mainstream Islam as peaceful.
And the simple truth is we only need to look at the reactions of the worldwide Muslim community to the Danish cartoons and authors and filmakers that are negative to Islam...and compare that against the (lack of) similar outrage to the 911 attacks or journalist beheadings....and it doesn't take a genius to see that the vast majority of Muslims are far more concerned about perceived slights to their religion than they are about the violence committed in its name on a daily basis.
Here it is in a nutshell...."Islam is a religion of peace, and if you say it isn't, we will kill you...or at the very least, not be held responsible for our bretheren that do. When we kidnap, burn embassy's, or behead people on the internet, we will spend the bulk of our energy blaming you."
