Dare To Ask Talk And News About Our Differences 
Unfortunately, this is the result of ignorance, mass media and stereotyping Osama bin Laden’s group are extremists, and if you ask faithful Muslims, they’ll tell you Osama and his men were not acting according to Muslim doctrine at all. The problem with any extremist group is that they don’t actually follow what they claim, and their bad actions end up labeling their claims rather than their reality. It’s a generally human flaw to see only the bad things that happen and not the good, and extremist groups take advantage of that. It’s much like how mentioning Egypt brings to mind Arabs, when the reality is that the majority of Egyptians are not Arabic but are descendents of old Egypt, Greece and Rome who have intermixed with Arabic culture.
When terrorist groups and extremist groups appear on the news, you should always look at the group as being apart from their culture; otherwise, you create the same kind of stereotype that the group is ‘fighting to free themselves from.’
