"ISIS is not Islamic

[WinterHold]

ISIS smells like a wahhabi fella. Not like Islam.
It's the inevitable conclusion of believing in the sects.

This is all getting a bit ridiculous. Islam is not homogeneous, just like Christianity. You can no more claim that Wahhabism isn't Islamic than a Baptist can claim Catholicism isn't Christian. You yourself just indicated that we're discussing a difference in interpretation, referring to you asking for us to consider how jihad is interpreted. You may disagree with the interpretation, but saying it's not Islamic is silly.

It is proved that many aren't Islamic for sure, since they negate the basic pillars of Islam.

I didn't get what you mean

I know Atlas, I know..ISIS isn't islamic and it's all americas fault.  You're one bad case of indigestion away from screaming death to america...as far as I can tell....and you wonder why I have trouble understanding -why- you don't agree with ISIS? 

Don't read the edges of my posts only (not respecting my post enough to read it from the first letter to the last). 
I'm addressing the mistake of both sides.

To borrow from Sam Harris, the problems with Islamic Fundamentalism are to do with the fundamentals of Islam. If you truly have a religion of peace, such as Jainism, then its fundamentals will also be those of peace.

How is self defense considered violence ? Islam is a balanced faith, it guides to peace, but it also gives you the ability to fight back and defend yourself. 

But the way of Islam is capable of bringing peace sooner, and make it last longer, with everybody happy.

Some do believe in it. Many people around here treasure Abdul Wahhab as being the example of "perfect Islamic belief".
The jihadits in mane cases, come from this background; abroad it is called "Salafism", Salafies are just Wahhabies holding a different title.

Abdul Wahhab is very respected between Jihadists.

Appreciated, CL. Thank you for understanding the differences between me & extremists.
I do try to fight them too through my posts, though. Not that it contradicts my belief only; but what ISIS & extremist do is destructive beyond imagine, to Muslims before anybody else.

ah, the brain is known to pick up the easiest route   sometimes oppression & generalization are the easiest path.

Their religious texts did prevent them from many of the actions they do, rob.
Someway or another, they do what they want. And that's not so religious.

I say they're not Islamic, because I can't see how they follow the faith.
