Be my guest & visit bestgore.com , and search for "los zetas". Then search for "ISIS". Then compare.
If the voice is muted, you might get confused between the two.
In other words; the vibe ISIS shines is more of a "gangsta/cutthroat", it's not a unique thing. All gangs practice the same barbarity and brutality.
ISIS is full of fanatics that's for sure, but calling it Islamic is plainly wrong. Blame the gang that produced this version of Islam (Wahhabies), you can also blame the mother of all of that (the Sunni faith). But it's not Islam.
Through Islamic history, gangsters and cutthroats threw their share into the mix, and cooked one nasty meal, called " the sunni/shia sects".
That's a non-sequitor - it doesn't matter what ISIS does other than preach the Islamic faith and practice it according to the same holy text as yours, in accordance with how they view it, it is this alone which defines them as Muslim. This is an important counterpoint for those who believe their religion does anything to modify behavior, which I think is particularly what has the Muslim mainstream so upset and angry - it doesn't matter what you believe or how you practice your religious faith, it will never change anyone for the better - it can only serve to convince you the believer that your behavior, good or evil is justified. I see how this scares those who want to promote Islam as anything more than what it truly is, and it should. It won't get any better for you when you lie.
