Views on Islam

After major terrorist attacks in recent years such as the downing of a travel plane which left some 300 people dead (most of whom were Russians) or the Baghdad bombing where another 300+ people lost their lives. After attacks, especially in the West, conversations ensue about the nature of Islam.
About five groups become apparent:

Islamic Extremists / Islamists: These people praise the attack as a righteous attack committed by an Islamic martyr for the cause of Allah.

Islamic Fundamentalists: Although many Muslim Fundamentalists condemn or show dis-favor to attacks some agree with Islamists that the victims of the attack deserved death. They hold that Islam is a religion of peace.

Islamic apologists / Islamophiles: These people condemn the attacks but say that Islam did not inspire the attack. If Islam had anything to do with it, it was a form of extremism. There is a general belief that Islam is more or less no more violent than other religions. The majority are not Muslims but tend to be left-wing.

Anti-Islam / Islamophobes: These people don't like Islam. They don't like Extremism or fundamentalist Islam. They believe that the violence committed by Muslim terrorists can be linked to the Qu'ran and the teachings and deeds of Muhammad as recorded in the Hadith. Most of these individuals are not Muslims and they tend to be right-wing.

Anti-Islamic Extremists: These people don't like Muslim but more than that they generally dislike, or even hate Muslims as individuals. They support banning the construction of Mosques, vandalizing Mosques, forcing Muslims to convert or to be exiled. They tend to make blanket statements about Muslims and show little concern for their welfare or religious freedom.
