You are too late: the die is cast as a friend of mine is often heard to say. The word Muslim and the word terrorist are now inseparable, think of a bombing anywhere in the world and you will most likely think Muslim. You think this is not the case? Then what other religion is using bombing to try and further their goals, certainly not those of the Catholic faith, nor those of the Buddhist faith and I have not heard of the Church of Later Day Saints using these methods. None of the African religions, Anglican or even the Coptic religions find this method in favour. Perhaps if you look through the litany of carnage that this religion has wrought upon the face of this world you may see that the two names for good or ill will now always be interchangeable.
