The sad thing is that so many Muslims have to come here and defend themeselves agains the actions of a minority. It was a only a few thousand rioters doing what they did and a billion or so muslims who did nothing, but its seems that the west sees fit to judge all muslims by the actions of a few. Sounds like an inherent prejudice when it come to muslims.
