The western world does not hear or see the "moderate Muslims" up in arms, or writing the editors of the local papers, lamenting the poor decisions of their compatriots. The extremist Christian is simply a festering pussing sore on society, typical to the Westboro Baptists. We look at them and feel sorry for their ignorance.
Time for the moderates to stand up and say enough is enough to those that want to lead them astray.

Usually there a political motives for the attacks, it's not simply my religion against yours. But that's a little beside the point. If you pay attention, everytime there is an attack, there is no shortage of religious leaders denouncing it in public. The moderates, that is the mainstream majority of muslims, try very hard to dissociate themselves from the extremists - for obvious reasons. The problem is that being a minority with little power, their voices aren't always heard very loudly at all. But if you pay attention carefully, you can see that the moderates do stand up.
We have to realize that we are contributing to the problem. We are not just victims. We can't create the insane situation where we're asking or forcing immigrants to assimilate into societies that openly hate them. It should be obvious that's not going to lead into anything good.
Our intolerance is one of the main propaganda tools of the extremists: they can say, if this is liberal democracy, clearly it's nothing we want to take part in. And that does have some force to someone who is simultaneuously being rejected by the dominant culture and blamed for not fully embracing it.
