Sure, and various different legal and cultural traditions and different branches and sects.

The West™ doesn't. Oh, they try to be polite about it, talk about "radicals", "rotten apples" yada yada, but basicially it's Islam  that's "them", except for some suitably innocuous examples that can be embraced to show unprejudiced the West™ is.

I guess I personally do not see all of Islam as responsible for the things the radicals have done.  I do believe that common and ordinary people of various sects and religions (and no religion) can get along together if not provoked by someone with malicious or political/economic intent.
