Because Muslims are more prone to being crazy and/or extreme than Christians (or people of <insert religion>)? Because Islamic extremists are the only people that use guerrilla tactics and explosive devices to get their point across?

  Until July 1997, the IRA carried out several bombing and 
  shooting attacks. These included the Docklands bombing 
  and the Manchester bombing, which together killed 2 
  civilians, injured 212 more and caused around £500 
  million in damage.

  The Oklahoma City bombing was a bomb attack on the Alfred 
  P. Murrah Federal Building in downtown Oklahoma City on 
  April 19, 1995.
