All members of the religion are not violent and do not interpret the religion to tell them to be violent.

I have discussed this at length with a workmate who happens to be muslim, from south africa originally.

He's a very nice person and doesn't mind it when I ask him if he'd like to come to the races and get pissed with me on the weekend. In fact, he laughs and jokes in return.

His children are beautiful and well mannered and respectful but also lively and are inquisitive about all sorts of things.

I had a discussion with him last week about Ramadan and fasting and it was enlightening for me, especially since I'd asked him if he lost any weight during Rhamadan.
