AS CHRISTIANITY IS SPLINTERED!!! finish the thought! You strawman creating a-hole!
Is Islam splintered into 30K different factions or sects, as christianity is? No?!?!? As the power of Christ (and truth) compells you!
Then if the above is true then what I said was an accurate and factual statement! Islam is not splintered as Christianity is!!!
So what does that mean?
Islam has 1 Primary group. there are over 1.62 BILLION muslims in the world 90% or Sunni!!! That means 90% of all muslims BELIEVE THE EXACT SAME THING! They all yield their beliefs to the same religious teachings and leadership
So Who or what faction makes up ISIS... Hmm is it Shia muslims??? Noo... ISIS is targeting shia muslims.. could it be Sunni, YES! It is the sunni who make up Not only the islamic state fighters but also the Taliban and just about every other terrorist group.
Now the question is, what group do the muslims that live abroad/In the west worship under, surely they are not the same branch as the ISIS fighters...
But they are. So then how can the isis fighters and the peace loving naturalized citizens belong to the same doctrinal religion? are the ISIS fighters 'radicalized?" and the peaceful guys here not?
The ISIS fighters and the lone wolves are no more radicalized than the peaceful Muslims are mainstream.
Again I point back to my original statement. The Sunni believe there are the ways to full fill alah's great commission (take over the world) Breeding out an indigenous people, converting them/evangelism or jihad.
Jihad, is just as valid a way if not more 'respected' that the breeding or evangelism route. It all comes down to calling.. Some are supposedly called to jihad while other start families. Those who can't start a family are 'called' to jihad.
Say like a guy struggling with his sexuality and is looking for a way to redeem himself before his god...
