So we know that when it comes to political control vs. religious ideas and your country is on the border, we know what comes first.
Q. What stops the rest of the Middle East from gladly joining ISIS?
A. Political control.
Q. What most motivates the evangelical Xtians of America in their attempts at influencing our government and lording their legislation over others who still care about their Constitutional rights?
A. Political control. It certainly isn't the integrity of their religion, much less their own moral integrity!

The point is that we all have better reason for knowing they aren't all the same. Because the second one in any such Xtian group does something evil with official or secretive sectarian support, the others will get up and cry foul, as a way of distancing themselves from the stink. I'm an atheist, and I also believe organizational atheist leaders should do the same when atheists kill out of hatred. So then, why won't Muslim leaders do this? It's because they'd rather give us the finger, and stupid Western journalists enable them to get away with it!
Except that Muslim leaders do do exactly that.
