So are you arguing that groups like ISIS aren't seen as absolute loons by the majority of Muslims? Maybe you should be asking yourself why you homogenized the Muslims and not the Christians, despite both having plenty of violent radicals.

I would say ISIS is viewed as extreme by a majority of Muslims. When Al Qaeda doesn't want anything to do with them they are definitely more fringe. But then again I would say Al Qaeda is also extreme, just not as much when compared to ISIS. You might have some extremist Christians but it's much more tempered.

I do take time for introspective thoughts on this subject and I came to the conclusion that it's considered taboo to say anything negative on Muslims when talking on the subject of religion. I have plenty of criticism on Christianity as a whole but that path doesn't interest me due to how common it is to find agreement on the subject.

My opinion/thoughts. When comparing only Christian and Muslim religion, Muslim is more extreme and less criticized

isis were seen in a negitive way not because they were not good muslims but because they were rebels

everything they did was justified according to islam

Quite an interesting series tbh. I'd love to hear a convo between this guy and an imam lol. I stand corrected.
