If the West treats all Muslims as a group, slowly but steadily they will start acting as a group. Unfortunately it's all happening that way.
It's not possible to treat the Muslims as a group. For starters, they don't treat each other as such. The Sunni's hate the Shites.The Bedouins hate them both. The Arab Muslims look down on the Asian Muslims. The American Black Muslims are regarded as hip hop hippes from another planet, and the list goes on.
What the west is entitled to, is that it can lump ALL Muslims into a group that needs to have an eye kept on them, in fact many eyes.
Yes, there are good Muslims who just want to get on with life and if they are the overwhelming majority that they would have us think, why can't or won't they clean up their own back yard, starting with that mongrel Hillaly at Lekemba?
When we westerners see that these so called "moderates" take positive action to curb or get rid of, or dob in the elements of their faith whom they claim are the real culrits, maybe that will start changing our perception that Muslims = problems or potential problems.
I can't go along with your if situation.
It's akin at the moment to me saying, "If my uncle had tits, he would be my auntie.
