Every government, leader who comes on the big stage uses different approach to run the masses. In this case the religion. In all the case not all the muslims are homosexual haters, crazed suicide bombers something that comes in list.
The same way we can say that all the US army hates children because one (or more) crazy US soldier did that. For the record I'm not muslim, but I believe that most of the people are good.

I agree.
My best friend growing up was muslim. His father was a dentist and his family escaped Iran and settled in our neighborhood, as did his extended family. They were the kindest and most friendly people I knew at that time.
What muslims are letting happen in their countries, in the name of their religion, is not right. My muslim ethics teacher in college was a victim of female genital mutilation as a child, that's when I first learned of such a practice that is legal in her country. Honor killings are legal. Televised public hanging homosexual men is legal. Disfiguring a woman who has dishonored the family or spouse is legal. Stoning a person to death is legal. Cutting off the limbs of thieves is legal.
The fact that these awful practices are legal, means that they are accepted by the majority. If that's not the case then muslims need to rise up and effect change that represents the true silent majority.
Organized religion fucks up every society, none is immune.
