negative PR in the Islamic world

In recent history, I think raghead terrorists have done more to promote negative PR in the Islamic world than anyone else.
Let's see, we've got terrorist hijackings, the Munich Olympic massacre, suicide bombings galore, the 9/11 attacks, televised beheadings of innocent hostages, etc. etc.
If my world view of Arabs and Muslims came just from what I saw on TV, then I would have no choice but to believe that every Muslim Arab is a savage animal that should be shot like a rabid dog, and then I would conclude that Islam is an ugly religion.
Fortunately, I know many Muslim Arabs (and non-Arabs) who are good people and who lead virtuous and productive lives, certainly better than I am in many instances. So I would be blind to subcribe to the former.
To be all that honest, I'm not so sure about the latter.
There is an undeniably palpable darkness associated with Islam in its current state (maybe not unlike Christianity during the Middle Ages).
