America commits human rights abuses in the illegal prison camp they have in Cuba, but they do not do it in the name of Jehova.
Russian government is very corrupt, but not in the name of Jesus.
The UK illegally imprisoned without trial ethnic Irish in the 70's, but they never claimed this was a policy ordained by God.

The fact that a significant number of people who call themselves Muslim commit violent acts which they claim are justified by Islam, including the nation state of Saudi in an issue. The difference is that the abuses of human rights by Russia, the US, the UK are not done in the name of a religion or under the banner of religion. The abuses in Saudi or Iran often are.
I would say again that the majority of ordinary muslims cannot wash their hands of the violent streak in their religious community.
There is a sensitivity in Islam which does not exist in other major religions (see the reaction to the Danish cartoons compared to reaction to blasphemy against other religious figures).
I would say that difference between the saved and the non belivers is more stressed in Islam than in any other religion I know of, and this is a fundamental issue within Islamic belief that creates hostility.
It is the responsibility of the majority of muslims to reclaim their religion from the nutcases who support the 9/11 attacks or the abuse of women or violence against non believers (I wouldnt include honour killings in this, because this is a social issue)
It is also the responsibility of majority of Christians to reclaim their religion from the nutcases in rural parts Nigeria or other western african countries who still execute witches and kill disabled children.
Neither religion can afford to turn their backs on the ugliness that is a part of their community, neither can just wash their hands of it and say "oh well, *I* dont believe in things like that, thats just the extremists...."
