Lets take a tally of some of the more prominent terrorist attacks in recent history.
1. 9/11 - every perosn who hijakced a plane that day was a Muslim. 2. The attack on the USS Cole - planned and carrie dout by Muslims 3. The Blai Nitghtclub Bombing - planned and carrie dout by Muslims 4. The attacks on the London Metro - planned and carried out by Muslims 5. The Madrid train bombings - palnned and carried out by Muslims 6. Not an attack, but an attemp - Richard Ried AKA 'The Shoe Bomber' - planned and carried out by Muslims. Now, I will state empahitcally that not all Muslims are terrorists. I will even state empahitaclly that a very small percentage of Muslims are terrorists. However, based on these and other events, I do not think it is too much of a stretch to say that most terrorists are Muslims. Can you see the difference in those statements? I can also say that if 9/11 was carried out by a group of overweight, beer-loving, middle-aged, white, male agnostics, I would hope that I would get a more careful looking at when I boarded a plane. (see how that profile becomes a lot more specific when you look at more than religious beliefs, or skin color?)
