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.

It's a myth, propagated by 1) xenophobes, 2) ignorant people, and 3) those who rely on a single source for information.

Even pre-ISIS, we Americans, showed how ignorant we are, when nearly half of us opposed a candidate/President (Obama), because rumors spread that he was Muslim (our current President helped spread those rumors).

Even a well-intended mainstream Republican candidate, like John McMcain, in response to an older woman who asked why we should put a Muslim in the White House, instead of saying "his religion does not matter", his response was 'No ma'am, I know him, it's not true, he's a good man'.
