Only if the public CHOOSE to view Muslims as a homogenous entity, with all being of the same hue. However, most understand that this is not the case. Now it is about those of us that do understand, aligning ourselves with moderate Muslims - not slagging off Muslims in general, which would be the redneck, generalist bigoted way to react.
That is what terrorism is based on - the creation of fear and division within society. The only way to counter it is not to fall into their plans by fearing Muslims, but reject the seeds of discontent that they sow by embracing Muslims and giving them benefit of the doubt. Like the Sydney #illridewithyou campaign. Show solidarity WITH the Muslim population. Dont help the terrorists create hatred.
