Poor Scottish Muslims

"Racist" incidents across Scotland have soared following the attempted terror strike on Glasgow airport on June 30 this year. The idea is that those intolerant Scots have made a connection between Muslims and violence (which is totally unfounded, of course) and are thus being hostile to local Muslims.

Now, no one should be targeting innocent Muslims for hostility and verbal/physical abuse, but I wonder, how much are these Scottish Muslims doing to allay the violent image their co-religionists have created of Islam, and to prevent jihadists from making new recruits among their number? How much are they REALLY doing, and what does it entail?
