What if all Muslims weren't terrorists?

"Each time there is an atrocity or outrage, Muslims are expected to apologise as if each and every one is somehow complicit. Given this it is not surprising that Muslims are lumped together in the public consciousness with illegal immigrants and asylum seekers to create one blurry unwelcome mass of people whose values are antithetical to mainstream liberal democracy. What I find most curious is that it is only Islam which tends to be criticised and condemned for being outdated and incompatible with modern society."
