It's not Islam, but extremism is a problem in Islamic culture for sure.

Yes, it's not Islam, it's Islamic extremists.
But Islam supports the extremists. Not all of course. And not most. But some. Some Islamic governments fund them. Others turn a blind eye. (Some) Muslims everywhere, cheer them.
And as long as extremists exist, and the greater Muslim community doesn't stop it, the greater the hatred and backlash towards all Muslims will be.
And it doesn't matter whether or not that reaction is 'wrong'. It is inevitable.
