I agree that it is important to stand united against bad actors the world over, however, we must be careful that we know who our foe is. There are millions of Muslims, almost all of whom are peaceful and accepting of their fellow man, and do not deserve our enmity.
Definitely, I have Muslims friends and they're perfectly fine. It's the one that uses that as their reason to do cause harm. We need to pray for this :)
It's one of those tragic things that's made doubly tragic by the West's failure to understand the dynamics at play re: ISIS and Islam. There's a fundamental difference between the faith "moderate" Muslims here in the West practice and the faith those who side with ISIS practice:
those who are of the peaceful persuasion are effectively following a "Westernised" Islam; whereas those who are running around killing, etc. are following Classical Islam (i.e. the Islamic faith as preached+practiced by Muhammad).
