Those who follow the teachings of Allah are just like those who follow other religions, and while there may be extremists who hijack the religion for evil the true believers understand that Allah offers peace and tolerance instead of hatred and violence. We should not view all Muslims the same any more than we would view Catholics, Baptists, or Protestants the same. All religions have both tolerant and intolerant followers, and Allah is no more responsible for the extremists than Christians are responsible for abortion clinic bombers or those who commit murder in god's name. Blaming Allah for the evil perpetrated in his name is not what tolerant people do, and this viewpoint harms the chances for peace between all religions.
