She was clearly misrepresenting the religion with her statements about "clash between civilization and backwardness". She is using the insanity of a few to state that they speak for the religion when they do not. If one looks at history one can see that Islam brought peace to the Arabia. Before people lived only for the clan and their tribe. When Prophet Muhammad came he taught them mercy and love for one another. If you really want to judge Islam judge how the Prophet would deal with people. People would curse him, beat him, but he would never seek retribution. The best example of this is when he came to Mecca to establish Islam. Even though they had tortured him and his follower, he never allowed one citizen of Mecca to be harmed. His command during war were always the protection of the young, women, the elderly, livestock and even the trees. If war was to be conducted it was alway between the armies, and never the civilians. What the radicals are doing is completely against the grain of Islam.
