Do you personally know any Muslims?

I know one Muslim personally at the moment. He's a friend though I don't see him as much since I have a baby now. He's from Compton CA. When I was younger, I knew several Palestinians when I lived in Columbus. They were all just normal dudes. Very passionate about what goes on in their homeland. They were far from hateful towards Jews. They considered themselves Semitic people as well. I've had no experience with barbarian types when it comes to Muslims. I don't think those barbarians truly represent Islam.
