There are pleanty more non-muslims who know that Saddam wasn't a representation of Islam, but they usually just keep to themselves. It's the giant racist morons that always run their mouths about things they know nothing about.
What if we said Al Godlstien (porn director) was a representative of Judaism? Or if Tim McVeigh was a representative of Christianity? These examples are just as proposturous as equating Saddam, Bin-Laden, or any other nutbag with Islam. I equate my Somali friends with Islam. The crossing guard on Spring street, my former boss at a pizzaria, and my ex-girlfriend are the people I equate with Islam. Not some international terrorist. They far outnumber him, and I can guarantee are far greater followers of Islam than he will ever be.
