Many thanks, @cognitist, for making this noble effort. As an immigrant & Muslim based in the United States, I think it is my duty to act as a sort of bridge between cultures and dispel dangerous myths such as you address, above.
Moderate Muslims continue to be the greatest victims of terrorists, such as Isis, who wish to sabotage the faith and smear its name. For my part, as a poet, I try to share the beauty and peace I find in Islam and its mystical branch, Sufism: https://idriesshahfoundation.org/interview-with-yahia-lababidi/
If you/your readers are interested, here, is my lucky Coming to America by way of further background and elaboration on my mission: http://www.theglobepost.com/2017/08/30/america-immigrant-muslim/
Peace, all ways, Yahia
