You're generalizing an entire religion you clearly have little experience with.
Every muslim I know acknowledges that the radicals exist and are batshit crazy. Nobody is covering anything up.
This is pretty far off topic, but one of the biggest factors in why more violent terrorists are muslim is because they have fewer checks in place to stop it. In North America we have safeguards out the wazoo to protect against mass killings like this.... and we didn't have a soviet war machine feeding us guns and violence for 20 years. Much like how crime is typically higher in black neighbourhoods because of the lower incomes (not racist, black people statistically make less money, google it), Muslim countries have higher terrorism rates because of poverty and a history of violence. Remember that many of these countries were behind the iron curtain for years, and a lot of cold-war bias is still there. There is a great deal more than religion at play here.
