Buy you blame it on the religion, not the individuals.
For example, "try to convince me this is a "peaceful" religion." You're condemning an entire religion based on the actions of a small percentage of its followers.

All it proves to me is that Muslims are subject to the same human failings as any group of people.

....and I never said reactionary violence was a Muslim trait- I said there were not other large religions who turned to mob violence when confronted with something they did not like (recall what some Muslims did about those cartoons in Denmark)- but then I conceded that the violence in Ireland is an example of another large group reacting with violence.

I can't imagine that that's the first time someone's mentioned the IRA in a discussion with you. Heck, I'm quite certain I've used it as an example several times before.
But if you'd like more examples, look up "Army of God", "Lord's Resistance Army", "Nagaland Rebels", "Christian Identity", "Westboro Baptist Church"...
