The problem with these demonstrations is that they are merely a statement of denial, but denial is not an answer to Islamic extremism.
If moderate Muslims were serious about defeating extremists, they would be quoting chapter and verse from the Islamic holy books, ad nauseam, until it was abundantly clear that ISIS was distorting their peaceful religion.
But alas, when you study Islam, it quickly becomes clear that it's the extremists who have the stronger argument that they represent true Islam.
And that's why these statements of denial will amount to nothing. Zip. Because they do absolutely nothing to counter the narrative that Islam is a religion of the sword.
