It's not a Muslim thing
One frequently sees people on television who are frustrated that mainstream Muslims are doing nothing to condemn Islamic extremists. There are various schools of thought as to why this situation exists, but I do not have enough knowledge about the subject to analyze them.
However, it should be noted that no one ever gets on television to vent frustration that mainstream Christians are doing nothing to condemn Christian extremists. One sometimes wonders if there are any mainstream Christians left among us. Snowflakes, science-bashing, clinic bombings, exploitation of a dying woman, financial support for Eric Rudolph, legislation to bar gay citizens from possessing civil rights...where is the protest? I'm certainly not hearing it.

I don't think that Christians often see the parallels. I once called one on his outspoken bashing of "all Muslims," and asked him how he would feel if non-Christians would group him with the psychos that bomb abortion clinics, or vulgarly picket gay funerals. I received a befuddled look and the statement, "But that's ridiculous. My beliefs are nothing like theirs."
