Do you hate me because I am muslim?

My mother is egyptian my father is lebanese and african. We are practicing devout muslim. I attended an Islamic Shcool ran by the Saudi Govt. I have served in US military for 8 years and plan to continue until I am forced to retire. I have sworn to defend this country and everyone in it with my life. So does my religion and my background make me a bad person? Can I prove that there are good muslims? that we arn't extremists? (Not even a majority of us) can I erase or at least dilute this image that we have?
