I think people don't see that from the islamic community as much. For example, people in this country openly supporting hezbollah. Its just difficult for Americans to digest seeing muslims outraged over a cartoon, but silent on the violence in the name of their faith.
I think many muslims just want the fundies to go away, like many Christians. The most recent uncovered plots have been due to Canadian/English/etc Muslims who turned the plotters in. That to me says more than marching in the street ever could (I'm not a protest fan, no matter what its for)
