Muslims are terrorists: Is this a misnomer?

"Some men manipulate her and use her for greed,
Kill in her name, but her name comes from peace,
So I stand by her pillars proud, she keeps me grounded.
Reminds me to be humble; through her are all the answers,
To every question even worth asking,
And to love her, you must be able to love all human beings.
They deserve to hear her words and learn of her teachings."

-Boona Mohammed, For the Love.

I have made a promise to myself before starting this very blog that I will never touch on politics but following the recent outcry of the Boston bombings, a lot of media has attacked muslims with their bigoted "intelligible" thoughts claiming that Muslims are all vile which has certainly upset me. And leading this blame game would be none other than the US. To most Americans, they must have thought that all perpetrators of terrorist acts nowadays are Muslims. Well, there's the Fort Hood massacre, the shoe bomber... and the 9/11 attack and guess what? they're all Muslims. Some of you may say that this is a fair conclusion. 

However, Islam really has nothing to do with any of these attacks as these acts are frowned upon in our beautiful religion. They have used Islam as just an excuse and a cover. The Great Prophet Muhammad SAW pbuh of course did teach us to wage a jihad against those who are inhumane- NOT against all and sundry.

To imply that these terrorists represent all Muslims is like saying the KKK represents all Christians. Get your facts right and don't be an idiot.
