With the rise of the Islamic State (ISIS, ISIL, or IS), an old apologia meant to exonerate Islam of violence has become prominent, again. Because ISIS is killing other Muslims, so the argument goes, obviously, its violence cannot be based on Islam, which bans Muslims from killing fellow Muslims in its name.
This point is always stressed whenever Islamic jihadis commit massacres in the West. Speaking soon after the San Bernardino terror attack that left 14 dead, U.S. president Obama, who earlier insisted that the Islamic State âis not Islamic,â elaborated:
Similarly, after last Novemberâs Paris terrorist attack, which left 129 people dead, the UKâs Independent published an article titled, âParis attacks: Isis responsible for more Muslim deaths than western victims.â And the Daily Beast argued that, âBefore the Paris horror, ISIS was killing Muslims on a daily basis. We Muslims despise these crazy people more than anyone else doesâ¦. But the number one victim of this barbaric terror group is Muslims. Thatâs undisputed.â
Along with distancing Islam from violenceâreal Muslims are not supposed to kill other Muslims in the name of jihadâthis argument further clouds the issue of who is the true victim of Islamic terrorism: Why talk about the Muslim slaughter of non-Muslimsâwhether Western people in Paris or California, or Christian minorities under Islamâwhen it is Muslims who are the primary victims most deserving of sympathy?
Yet this argument is flawed on several levels. First, the Islamic State does not view its victims as Muslims. Indeed, mainstream Sunni Islamâthe worldâs dominant strand of Islam which ISIS adheres toâviews all non-Sunnis as false Muslims; at best, they are heretics who need to submit to the âtrue Islam.â

Exactly. They're Muslims.
But anyway, if DAESH/ISIS(L) doesn't view the Muslims they kill as Muslims, and their Muslim victims don't view them as Muslims, let them go at each other, and arm and train the victims to give as good as they get. Then make popcorn.
muslims can’t get along with unbelievers AND themselves.
Arm both sides to the teeth, do psyops and false flags against both sides so there is an ever escalating revenge, rather, rinse, repeat, then when one weakened side come victorious and are all super pumped and ready to take on the world, then bomb the $hit out of their celebrations
ISIS decides who is, or is not, a true Muslim.
Anyone who doesn't agree with them 100% is not a true Muslim, and can (and should) be killed
Islamic civil war.
Not our fight (unless one is Muslim).
Does anyone (other than Muslims) really care which sect or sub-sect of Islam comes out on top ... for now?
When Protestant and Catholic people where fighting each other, did Muslims care which side won?
Let spooks working in deep cover from all the espionage agencies encourage them to fight among each other. Let all the holy warriors get good and holey.

Absolutely. Rude to stick your two cents into someone else’s holy war.
These are not fellow Sunni Muslims; they are heretics and apostates who call themselves Muslims, they are not practicing the faith as Allah in the Koran, and Muhammed in the Hadiths want it practiced.
And the worst of them are the Shiites who don't respect the Hadiths at all. - Tom
Sunni Muslims want to kill everyone they view as insufficiently Muslim. Shiite Muslims want to kill everyone they view as insufficiently Muslim. Salafist Muslims want to kill everyone they view as insufficiently Muslim.
Wahabbianist Muslims want to kill everyone they view as insufficiently Muslim.
Sufi Muslims want to kill everyone they view as insufficiently Muslim.
ISIS and Al Qaeda want to kill everyone they view as insufficiently Muslim.
There is no reasoning with any Muslim. They all want to kill everyone, including themselves. This is a big reason why Soetoro, Jarrett, and the rest of the liberals have failed in their quest to turn America Islam: they can’t decide which branch of Islam to force on us.
Liberals and rinos need to listen to this muslim. He knows what he’s talking about.
He’s a Copt.
According to our leaders anyone from the ME who’s not a Jew is a muslim. And since sometimes they say Islam is a race, he’s a muslim.
Only because, in that part of the world, there are more Muslims than Christians, by about ten to one.
But what about Sefardic Jews with real dark skin. Are they Muslims, too?
“ISIS decides who is, or is not, a true Muslim.”
As does King Hussein of America.
That should be our Commander-in-Chiefs picture on the bottom left.
they canât decide which branch of Islam to force on us.
The one associated with the Moslem Brotherhood.
Air Force One should be renamed Taqiyya One.
