This is called the availability bias - you're correlating the tendency of a group to take certain actions with the ease of which you can think of examples of members of that group taking those actions.
If I can think of an equal number of examples of Christian (or Jewish or Eskimo) terrorists, then by your logic we should be equally suspicious of those groups.
