Why do people think Muslims don't condemn terror attacks?

There are countless examples from countless sources. Its all on the internet if you Google it. The conclusion I have to draw is that some people do not want to.

I have also done a long post, which explains my take on the cultural/political misconceptions which people have about the UK Muslim community:

If you read my post and have a reasonable argument against then I will respect that. If you won't deal with my arguments, post a cherry-picked Qu'ran verse from Breitbart and claim that it shows all Muslims support terrorism; I will have no respect for you and I will ignore you because I'm done debating this for now.

Goodnight people.

Basically scared people just look for someone to blame for their fear. They choose someone different (race, religion etc) because to blame someone of the same race/religion/country might mean they themselves are somehow to blame.
The nazis blamed the jews (as did a lot of others). White Americans blame black people or Mexicans or Asians. We have a politician here who is on the anti-Muslim bandwagon using identical language to when she was on the anti-Asian bandwagon 20 years ago.
You summed it up un your first paragraph. Some people don't want to. It's easier to blame others than face reality and make an effort.
