I take your point but surely, the way that "the man on the Clapham omnibus" thinks about Muslims is that they are, for example, the people who flew planes into the WTC in the name of their religion. He probably has not the faintest idea of what Islam is really about. I don`t particularly see much in the way of resistance to other religions (Sikhism, Judahism etc) and I feel that without the actions of the extreme Islamists, most peoples view of Muslims would be different.
