Some people do, and they shouldn't. And some Muslims do judge the US based on the actions of our thugs and criminals, and they shouldn't.
However, you can't pretend that the thugs and criminals don't exist. Representatives of the USA have acted thuggishly and criminally, and so have representatives of Islam. It doesn't mean that Americans or Muslims in general are evil, just that they are humans. It is important for Americans and Muslims to rein in their thuggish criminal activities, and that is not possible if you refuse to admit that they exist, or claim that the ones on one side don't count because of the ones on the other side.
