His misconception is not believing that most Muslims are violent, but that most Muslims take their religion as seriously as the intellectual framework commands. Islam may have not had a reformation into conservative and non-conservative sects, but the great majority of Muslims do not feel an image of Muhammad is worth a riot.

Having said that, the proportion of orthodox, Koranic literalists to more liberal Muslims does seem to be significantly higher than the proportion of Christian biblical literalists to more liberal Christians I think this is the point mkn was trying to make, even if using that to justify hatred makes him look kind of dumb.
