"We remain woefully ignorant about the world's second-largest religion."
Do we even know who they are and what they believe, or do we just think we do?

I would have to agree that we are woefully ignorant of the Muslim faith. Now, granted, I believe that some Muslims are also ignorant of their faith as are some so-called Christians.
This ignorance leaves the door wide open for manipulation and propaganda on both those within, and those without both faiths.
After all, I am pretty sure that there is no such thing as "the rapture" in the bible. Or for that matter, such things as a relative of mine listing Jesus Christ as a member of his company. (Long story, but I have yet to find anywhere in the Bible where it says Jesus Christ wants to be on the board of directors of a warehouse in Burnaby)
I am also reasonably sure that no such thing as "suicide bombing" in the Quran either. (I believe I addressed this in a post here some time ago.
One thing I do know is this:
Ignorance breeds fear and distrust.
