“Just because someone of their religion does something does not mean that everyone else agrees with it,” she said.

But when nearly everyone of that religion doesn't denounce the "someone", and attempts to shift the focus by whining about suspicion and profiling, it means they tacitly support the "someone" and are running interference for him.

To absolve Islam of blame is ridiculous. That's why terrorists believe they have a right to rule the world. Islam and the Koran are what get most of these ninth century fiends out of bed in the morning, along with jealousy and rage at the US. It gives Muslims a license to keep women illiterate and two steps behind the family goat. It even encourages them to beat, rape, maim, and murder their sisters, wives, and daughters.

This doesn't even begin to touch the wholesale murder of innocents, as in 9/11. Muslims strap bombs on children and dance in the streets when they blow themselves to kingdom come. Moderate Muslims remain mysteriously silent or invisible. Could they be afraid of speaking out? Why is that, when their religion is one of peace? It's all about power. You know: if it walks like a duck, sends airliners into tall buildings, blows up the London tube, and sets half of Paris on fire, etc..
