of course I dont. Jesus Christ. I myself attended 2 mosques 5 times a day (Teaneck, NJ and Union City, NJ) from 1991-1993. The Teaneck masjid was 90% Pakistanis and INdian Muslims, but the Union City masjid was 90% Arabs (Syrians, Jordanians, Egyptians, Sudanese). I myself took the Shahadda and received the name of Abdul Haqq from the imam at the Teaneck masjid in 1991. I have hundreds of Muslim friends, and none of them are terrorists. Funny thing was, I couldnt go to make Salaat with my Iranian friends (even had a Persian fiancee back then) because they were all Shi 'a and I was a sunni. (WAS, I say, which could be dangerous!)
Even when they found out I didnt subscribe to that religion anymore, there were no calls of apostasy against me. I still go in once in a while here in Turkey to make the noonday prayer on Monday and Friday. I feel good to make the prayer. But I also go into Hindu temples with my wife and make those prayers as well. It feels good and their is a magic quality about it all. She is a Hindu but doesnt really believe in all the rules.
