Teresita, one more thing:

Being black is not a matter of choice. The jury is still out as to whether being gay is. But one thing is for certain; your religion is a matter of choice, both individually and as a society.

And therefore if you willingly (and even proudly) allow yourself to be identified as a member of a group that not only allows, but encourages as a core part of its ideology, murder, rape, paedophilia, slavery and never-ending war; then you deserve censure and prejudice against you. Hence the hatred and contempt many right-thinking people have for Muslims. Every single one of them has a choice, and they choose to associate with murderers and rapists. They should be treated as the accessories after (and before) the fact that they are.
