(3,829 posts)has murdered millions of innocent people in the world during my lifetime. Why don't you blame Christians, as a group, for these atrocities? That wouldn't be fair, of course, even though a large percentage of Americans, and Christians, supported these atrocities.
The unprovoked attack against Iraq was supported by huge number of Americans, including the media. Shouldn't that be held against us far more than what you posted should be held against Muslims?
This logic makes no sense: Muslims are magically more guilty for violence commited by other Muslims than other groups.
The 20th century is famous for its brutal wars and mass killings, most of it not by Muslims. I fact, Muslims were under represented in the mass murder of the 20th century.

Under Barack Obama, the U.S. is currently bombing Afghanistan, Iraq, Pakistan, Yemen, Somalia, and Libya. According to some reports (see here and here), we can add Iran to this ever-expanding list. [Update: An Informed Comment reader named Shannon pointed out that in fact the United States bombed Iran in 1988 during Operating Praying Mantis, an act that cannot be justified according to the International Court of Justice.]
Thanks to American arms and funding, our stalwart ally Israel has bombed every single one of its neighbors, including Palestine, Lebanon, Syria, Jordan, and Egypt. Israel has also bombed Tunisia and Iraq (how many times can Americans and Israelis bomb this country?).
The total number of Muslim countries that America and Israel have bombed comes to fourteen: Afghanistan, Iraq, Pakistan, Yemen, Somalia, Libya, Iran, Sudan, Palestine, Lebanon, Syria, Jordan, Egypt, and Tunisia.
