You know what. I've been telling non-Muslims I know from the forums I go to with Muslims, I often seen quite a bit of these extreme views. I always told them it's more then 1% or 10% with extreme views, and there is huge basis that supports ISIS and Al-Qaeda in the middle-east.
This is no surprise to me, the only way to be guided is holding on to God's rope, which a book is not sufficient for. A book can be interpreted many ways no matter how clear it is or whether or not different verses elaborate and interpret one another.
What is needed is reflection, reasoning, and attachment to the holy chosen ones, specifically the family of Mohammad.
And attachment is to their light, to their holy souls, for they are the mines of God's words and the scent of the revelation.
It's no surprise to me in the way the 2nd Surah warns by children of Israel, that there was a high chance this nation follows suit in making mischief in the land, killing their own people, etc, etc, when they broke God's covenant in the past and follow and stick to the unjust line of leaders.
The light of the Leader of our time, God manifests it to the hearts of who he wishes, and darkens it to who he wishes.
It's no surprise to me people who think they don't need guidance from God's Guide or don't need guide, end up so misguided and deluded.
Every time God takes a covenant, it seems a great portion of those it's taken from break it.
"I am leaving you two weighty things, Quran...and my family..." -the Prophet [s].
It's funny if you read the context of obedience to those who possess the authority from the believing nation. Before it even emphasized on the family of Abraham, their wisdom, the book they were given, and the great authority they were given, it went in a discussion of certain people who attribute purity to themselves and were leading their people astray.
People think it's not ok for Jews or Christians to follow their scholars blindly or that they attribute purity to themselves, but it's perfectly ok if we all act as if our religious leaders are almost all totally pure and meant to be followed with utmost trust.
This sort of blind fanatic attachment to scholars has been what made every revelation distorted at the end.
I believe there is a wisdom in the way Quran is written, in that, it guides people who believe in guidance of God when shown to them, and increases the unjust naught but in destruction.
It's purposely designed that way. It's as Imam Ali [a] says "Quran is of diverse faces". Everyone makes it to what they want it seems rather then making the book their Guide, they made themselves the Guide of the Quran.
There are clear signs and manifestations of guidance. There is so many verses forbidding oppression and making mischief in the land, it's not even funny how much it emphasized on it.
