I just wish moderate Muslims were more vocal.  But I recognize they do so at risk of their lives.  Having said that, if you look at the polls of Muslims in the U.S. on issues like sharia and whether jihad is justified you would not be encouraged. Far too many believe in and support one or both.  And of course both are incompatible with western values or modernity. So I suspect you encountered the cream of the Muslim crop.
