Luckily for us non-believers, the vast majority of Muslims do not see you as their enemy.
That is very possible. I've already put forth my role in this conversation as the skeptic. I dont really refute the idea that a portion of muslims, possibly a majority of muslims, live peacefully and intend me no harm. My disdain is for the religion itself, not the people, who in my opinion, have fell victim to it.

Every religion has good aspects to it. I bet a large portion of people would find the satanic commandments agreeable if they were not introduced as the satanic commandments. Every religion is designed to "suck you in". It is within the realm of possibility that some muslims only see the good in Islam and use that good to live good and peaceful lives, the same as i do with religions. My issue with them is why they support a religion that is responsible for a large number of crimes against humanity. You can say that the people you know who are muslims, are not extremist terrorists, but you cant say that the extremist terrorists are not muslims. Some of the crimes of Islam are indefensible. My grievance with peaceful muslims is that even though they may not be participating in those acts, they add numbers to the presence and spread of Islam.

The world i want to live in is on where people decide not to rape, murder, steal or harm others for no other reason than that they realize its wrong. It's scary to me how many people need religion as a crutch to be peaceful and even more alarming how many use religion as a justification to be extreme.
