Are ISIS and other aggressively Islamist Muslims following in the footsteps of the Prophet of Islam? Or have they lost their way, with respect to the most widely understood teachings of Islam?

15 minute YouTube video segment of recent on-air interview with Ismail Menk... just the first 5 minutes here are informative, for those whose time is at a premium.

I'm glad you posted this, many forget that the biggest victims of ISIS are in fact, Muslims.


Also, we are arguing about politics on a forum for a 30 year old car, none of our time is at a premium, it's just winter and too cold to go out and fix the stupid things.

Yet they sit back and do nothing.. But if a non muslim says or does anything... My god they now stand up..
SEEMS to follow the same lines as the special protected groups (gays/blacks/trans gender/females) We see the same play book and most never see the goal line..

Unwilling to believe even as the noose is slid over your head or you are lead in front of the camera by the guy with the big butcher knife. The beauty of a free and open system is that you can have any opinion you wish and so can I. I wish you well and hope that I am full of crap. But I will not be caught unaware.

And there will always be people like you, the fact deniers and hate/fear mongers. Having any opinion isn't something only found in a free and open system but expressing it may be. I wish you well too an hope that you are full of crap (haha jk).

You realize that more Muslims die fighting ISIS than any other religion, right?

How so. if there is 1.5billion of them. there should be no need for outside help..

Being killed by, isn't the same as fighting..
Don't follow their rule and you die.. don't agree to their mob like fee/tax you die..
Good thing you're a teacher..
