I think you need to admit Islam has their far share of radicals who take violent radical actions.
The governing Sharia authorities embody that violence in multi-faceted dimensions in the "centre of the Islamic world" country, Saudi Arabia. But nonono, they're not representative of Islam, right AtlasS33?
Probably about as much as the Vatican represents all Catholics, especially in their response to the the Child sex scandal.
Or would you prefer '"as much as the KKK represents all Christians"?
The Saudis are Wahhabi Muslims, the most conservative and aggressive sect in Islam. Islam has about six main sects, with divisions within each sect. it is not an homogeneous religion. There is some disagreement of exactly how many,, but as fa as I can tell, there are about 73 sub-sects sects.

Wahhabism (Arabic: الوهابية, [i]al-Wahhābiya(h)[/i]) is an Islamic doctrine and religious movement founded by Muhammad ibn Abd al-Wahhab.[a] It has been variously described as "ultraconservative",[1] "austere",[2] "fundamentalist",[3] or "puritan(ical)";[4][5] as an Islamic "reform movement" to restore "pure monotheistic worship" (tawhid) by devotees;[6] and as a "deviant sectarian movement",[6] "vile sect"[7] and a distortion of Islam by its opponents.[2][8] The term Wahhabi(ism) is often used polemically and adherents commonly reject its use, preferring to be called Salafi or muwahhid.[9][10][11] claiming to emphasize the principle of tawhid[12] (the "uniqueness" and "unity" of God),[13] for exclusivity on monotheism, dismissing other Muslims as practising shirk, (idolatry).[14] It follows the theology of Ibn Taymiyyah and the Hanbali school of jurisprudence, although Hanbali leaders renounced Abd al-Wahhab's views.[5]

This article summarizes the different branches and schools in Islam. The best known split, into Sunni Islam, Shia Islam, and Kharijites, was mainly political at first but eventually acquired theological and juridical dimensions. There are three traditional types of schools in Islam: schools of jurisprudence, Sufi orders and schools of theology. The article also summarizes major denominations and movements that have arisen in the modern era.
