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.

I find it very ignorant that people tar others with the same brush. I have spoken out recently as a Mancunian how I feel about recent events and apparently I am "promoting terrorism". Despite the backlash I will repeat here my thoughts and opinions.. that Isis are not Muslim, they are cowards who hide behind the name of a religion to do unspeakable and barbaric things - like the KKK.
Every Muslim I have met, has been quiet and reserved yet respectful and open. It was a Muslim consultant who stayed behind two hours after his shift to help me deliver my daughter and save my life. It is a Muslim doctor I see every time I go to the surgery. It is a Muslim woman who kindly explained to me why her hijab is important to her. And with all this the difference I and others have compared to some is the fact that we educate ourselves and don't listen to crap that we read in the papers.

@Burnley123: sorry if I went off on a tangent but all this .. them/us, it's like we're knee high and back at school. This is people's lives, it's happening all over the world and why?? What is anyone gaining from this.

@AutumnxRayne: I do think that certain political interests benefit from creating fear, unfortunately.

@Burnley123: I think it is like everything in life.. people at the top of the food chain stay safe and eat first, the rest of us have to suffer the consequences.
