Moderates rally against IS

[Hunafae!i]

... they could put more weight into this by using verses from the Qur'an to show that ISIS is not following its teachings (which will be impossible if ISIS is actually following said teachings).

I tend to agree. It's impossible to construct a moderate interpretation of Islam. There's way too much violence in Mohammed's life. As Sam Harris says:

Osama bin Laden ... is giving a truly straightforward version of Islam, and you really have to be an acrobat to figure out how he is distorting the faith.

But actually it's a moot point. Even if the moderate narrative existed, the head-chopping interpretation would also still exist. Thus the Islamic holy books would remain a clear and present danger to us.

So are you saying its not islamic fundamentalism thats the problem, that its Islam itself?
