I Am Advocate Of Islam

To start, I would like to point out that Im an atheist so, Im not bias towards one religion or another. I think the problem in the West is thinking of Islam in a solid, completely unified body of ideals. Muslims often disagree with eachother on religion/politics/morality etc, but I think also that there is difficulty in defining what it is within the Muslim faith in regards to the current issues in the world. "Salafism" is the real culprit and I believe it's teachings are the enemy of all the world, to include Muslims.

Muslim culture has given much to the world (modern arithmetic is essentially a Muslim invention), it's too sad to watch the world get torn apart by fascism

Please don't translate my words as insults when they're merely descriptive and an attempt to explain my view. I did not call you names. I did mean what I said.

What Daesh claim to believe is irrelevant to recognition of them by Muslim scholars. They and other Muslims judge the policies, the words and the facts by the teachings of Islam. There are many sources online where you can look that up (the site lettertobaghdadi.com is a famous example). There is much more and many types of Islamic publications on the subject.

If any type of mafia waves your nation's flag, would that mean that they can speak for that nation? Of course not.

Separatists are never exemplary of the group as a whole. The term says that already. Again though: I did not intend to debate about them.
