Terrorists believe all infidels should be killed. They characterize infidels as "all Westerners". Therefore if you believe all Muslims should be killed you have the same mentality of the terrorists.
The "jihad" or "war against terror", depending on your religion, don't end until this mentality changes. Religion doesn't kill people, people kill people. Stop the people, not the religion. And try to do it peacefully. If some government killed my father or uncle or brother, regardless of the reason, I would see that government as my enemy...forever. That chain of thinking doesn't stop until the killing stops.
Most sensible thing i've read today. You're right. We're not being righteous by branding all muslims as terrorists. Just because they have different beliefs and most of these terrorists claim to do it in the name of islam, doesn't mean all of them are the same. Violence breeds violence it's going to be an endless bloody process if we continue to think this way
