Really,
You misunderstand, but I'd understand if you come from Pakistan.
I wouldn't let your bad experiences of Pakistanis cloud your mind to the possibility that a Muslim could be different. Reading Western hating or denial that there are bad Muslims is understandable but try to take a balanced view of what Im writting. I understand that Pakistan is quite a backward place compared to my own country but surely you are not saying that a Muslim can't criticise the USA? Do you not have any criticisms yourself? Do you really think that the US is justified in its drone attacks on Pakistan? Is it you instead who claims the US is blame free and not guilty of any wrong doing?
I don't justify the al-Qaida attacks in the West (those attacks on communist Russia by al-Qaida let us remember were CIA and US army backed - so surely you must either support Al-Qaida here or criticise the US for doing so). I live a fairly honest and respectable life and don't go around 'blaming the West' any more than the next Westerner who exercises this democratic right. I love the West far more than I love Pakistan and Im not engaged in this silly mindset that you assume. Even if Im the only Muslim alive who doesn't support terrorism and blame the West for all the evil in the world - can you not accept the possibility Free thinker? Has your ore-judgment if all Muslims led you that far?
Surely even if you, like the very scared guy above, think that a fifth of the planet are terrorism loving Western hating morally bankrupt rapists - you would still not want incidents like Boston to justify illegal wars?
*has your pre-judgment of Muslims...
