"Hurr durr, other people do it too!" Yeah...no shit.
The difference being that none of us have to bullshit ourselves and others about some revisionist "original shape", lol. The original shape of your favorite toy was very much like the shape of is ISIS today. That fact of the matter is independent of your beliefs both about the events of history and what it would mean to be a good muslim.
If you wanted to remain consistent with your modern re-interpretation of magic book, it's religion, and it's founders - it would be far easier and far less infantile to simply contend that early muslims just weren't very good at musliming...even though they were skilled warlords, liars, and slavers.
