actually it doesn't. There are three arms of Islam at any point any one believer could be called to any of the three expressions of the muslim faith.
All three arms are based on Islam's great commission.. that is to take Islam and spread it world wide till all serve the god of islam.
They do this one of three ways.
1 they go in peacefully and selectively breed out the indigenous population over time. they water down the blood lines and eventually take over. most luke warm believers of islam live here they can more easily separate themselves from the other two expression of the islamic faith. They even have quranic permission to lie when confronted by their enemies so as not to bring too much attention to themselves.
2 They are instructed to try and convert. meaning like christians missionaries go into an area and try and get a population to convert to islam through study
3 Jihad is the holy war option where the infidels are expelled.
These are the structured beliefs of the SUnni which represent the vast majority of all of Islam. there are other sects but to the sunni the other sects are no better than any of us.
This is why hard core muslims in other countries will not denounce ISIS or al qaeda even if those people are not involved in jihad themselves... as jihad is still considered an active legit branch of worship in that religion..
While the KKK can be denounced and has been across the board by every branch of christian except the one they themselves fashion or run.
So no, not the same thing
