If she were serious about "getting to know each other" as a solution, and really believed that if we "knew each other better" the mistrust of Muslims would disappear, she would be spelling out which teachings of Islam she considers fundamental to "mainstream Muslims", and which she and they consider wrong and extremist, instead of deflecting. 

But like the Catholics who for decades sought to shield the pedophiles and child abusers rather than denounce them, either her first loyalty is to her faith community, so she will not, or she actually knows that most Muslims, and maybe even her, do  approve of those practices, so she must deflect instead.
