Peaceful does not mean apathetic, inert and non-caring. In fact, it's quite the contrary. If your religion is so important to you, you won't standby and see its good name being dragged through the mud by a small minority of deviants without so much as raising your voice against it, would you?

But what if they are passive Muslims that want to just get on with their day? Most of activist recruiting and hype is for the other end rather then the peaceful end. That's just the current temperature of the Islam world.
But an example is Israel. They aren't exactly angels either. There isn't a whole lot of protesting in the Jewish community when they use heavy handed tactics with the world around them, nor when certain Jewish extremist groups go out on a wing. They do say they aren't associated with them, but rarely do they confront the group in question.
