Sure thing

Then why don't you and other Muslims insist these people stop? The fact of the matter is that if only a tiny percentage of Muslims supported this behavior it would not be happening because the lunatics would be prosecuted and the clerics that call for this action would either be prosecuted or preaching to an empty mosque. Something has hijacked your religion and the masses are doing nothing about.

Personally, I will only believe your religion loves peace and God when those of you that make this claim stand up, speak out and insist the terrorism ends. Until then you are guilty as a religion for doing nothing. Don't waste your time trying to convince non Muslims that this is not appropriate, we know it is not appropriate. Use your time to convince Muslims this is not appropriate because I am pretty sure millions of them are confused on this point.
