That argument is disgustingly thin. Your friends who have based their opinions of an entire race from one encounter are just as racist as anyone else with a white robe and cone hat. An intelligent person would be able to recognize that there are horrible people of any race, and not base their judgements off of one encounter.
Oh, and your friend who has had "many dealings with muslims" is also a racist prick. I grew up in Saudi Arabia. Muslims are some of the most generous, thoughtful and truly kind people I know. I know many people who spent most of the year working in Saudi Arabia, Afghanistan, Pakistan, Iraq and other arab countries. All say they love the people there.
