Many people will argue that the majority of Muslims are not extremists, so therefore the religion cannot be discriminated against.  The problem with this is that roughly 25% of Muslims are extremists.  We have to take in the fact that the underlying minority will take control and will be overall more influential/important than the majority of the population.  Many people are dying as a result of extremism, and we cannot condone these actions by any religion, no matter how small the percentage.
