I suppose Islam is blamed because it is in the name of Islam that the some of largest terrorist attacks in world history have been carried out. The way these attacks are carried out.....by that, I mean the scale and the targets of civilians....are very shocking to the most of the world. We are trying to understand how a strong belief in a religion can lead to mass murder when religion is supposed to be about moral values and peace.
I think people are beggining to learn that it is a distortion of Islam that guides terrorism but it is a hard lesson to learn when so often the words 'Islam' and 'Murder' occur together in the news. The fact that many if not most Islamic countries are so unstable does not help.
