By your stated paradigm it is evident that you have a very poor understanding about the Muslim culture or as to the knowledge of how the people actually do live amongst each other. In any religion, even Christianity (crusaders) there are those that take murdering and raping into their own hands and by their own will and claim it to be of their deity. These fanaticals usually cause more harm than good towards their faith and the followers of their faith.
For the devout Muslim, honour, integrity, peace, rightiousness is considered essential as part of their core belief system. If one is but to go into their country one would realize the high esteem with which they treat people and the core values is emphasised much more than in the western cultures. For example they have set specific areas for single woman in a park and specific areas for single men and then specific areas for couples. A man is not allowed to enter into a room where a lady is alone. They even have different times for when certain groups can shop. People can walk freely on the street without the worry of someone that is going to attack or steal from them. If someone is caught stealing, there hand is chopped off. In truth, their society is much more disciplined and rightious according to their works, that we as westerners can hardly point a finger and make claims.
No one expects you to follow the path of a Muslim. But it is not necessary to try tell stories about them if you don't know the full facts, just because you feel threatened by their faith. Instead rather let your own works be an example to them... for Jesus said unless our rightious exceed those of the pharisees we will by no means enter the kingdom of heaven.
