Let them.

Let's not forget the Fort Knox attack in which Major Nidal Malik Hasan murdered 12 people and injured 31 while chanting 'god is great'.

9/11 and the ground zero mosque might have had something to do Islam's relatively poor reputation as well.
The fact that Muslims around the world riot at the drop of a hat if their prophet has been 'insulted' doesn't endear them to many people either.
But still, most Muslims just want a quiet life just like the rest of us. The Muslim extremists however certainly don't seem to be doing a very good PR job for Islam in general.
