Well sure, but that extremist attitude is probably from underlying mental issues, Phelps would be using religion in an improper way to push a message. You just don't blame religion when it is being manipulated as a tool to spread a terrible message, that's like blaming guns for some nut job going and killing someone, the guns wouldn't be the issue it is the idiot who got his hands on one.
With respect to Islam, you have nations who get suppressed on the world scale, they suffer from poor standards of living, depression, poverty, it spreads a poor morale and for people to be heard on the big stage they do stupid stuff and manipulate the religion that surrounds them to send a message. I would guess that very message is what most Muslims hate and despise, I feel sorry for good Arabic people out there who must feel like the black sheep on an airplane.
