1. There are 49 countries where the majority of people are Muslim. There are only 7 countries that have a major portion of their laws under Sharia: Saudi Arabia, Sudan, Iran, Iraq, Afghanistan, Pakistan and Brunei. So the majority of muslim countries do not have Sharia law and those that do do not have full out Sharia. 2. There is no one type of muslim. Same as there is no one type of Jew, Christian or Atheist. There are moderates, liberals and radicals. Pretty much all the ground troops fighting ISIS are muslim and nearly all the people that ISIS kills are muslim. As shown above, the majority of countries do not have Sharia law so the majority of muslims are not radicals. So there is no one group of muslims. Same as the fact that there is no one group of christians. Not all christians are part of the KKK. Although all KKK members are Christian. 3. The west have been at the forefront of giving power to the radicals. They financed and supported al qaeda against the Russians in Afghanistan. They illegal occupied iraq, a country that had no presence of al qaeda or ISIS before the invasion, putting in policies that banned pretty much the army, councillors and police officers allowing for al qaeda to enter Iraq and cause havoc. The west continually supports Saudi Arabia, a big funder of extremists organisations. Saudi Arabia is one of the biggest purchasers of western weapons and therefore they are the untouchables. The middle east has payed the price for this. There are many factors that have resulted in the mess were are in and the West's middle east policy is one of them. 4. Most religious books contain practices that may not be applicable to our society. For example within the old testament: Murder Anyone arrogant enough to reject the verdict of the judge or of the priest who represents the LORD your God must be put to death. Such evil must be purged from Israel. (Deuteronomy 17:12 NLT) Whoever strikes his father or mother shall be put to death. (Exodus 21:15 NAB) Sex Slaves - check out Exodus 21:7-11 NLT The majority of all muslims believe that some parts of the quran are specific to past events and should not be applied to today. A lot is story telling. The same thing applies to Christianity and Judaism. So, similar to most Jews and Christians, Muslims also live their lives not adhering to these things. There are 2.8bn muslims. If they all thought that suicide bombing is a duty against the infidels then our world wouldn't exist and there would only be 100% muslim countries with no minorities. I can only imagine what would happen if the Christian Spanish inquisition or the crusades occurred today and was picked up by social media and shown to us. It would cause a shitsorm and Christians would be the target of hate groups. All we would see and talk about is Christian terrorism.
