Anon says: "Radical groups feed off of publicity. You can beat extremism by not allowing their rhetoric to be heard."

Anon also says: "There are [non-Muslim extremist religious groups] but the mainstream media hardly gives them the time of day. They even massacre entire villages but nobody ever hears about them."

@Mcgabe

The fact that you think im defending these Terrorist just shows how utterly moronic you are.

And about that whole kkk thing. Don't be dumb, my the point was that what ISIS is doing is not in the name of Islam. My proof? The fact that they kill more Muslims than anyone else. Im fairly sure Islam doesn't teach to slaughter other Muslims.

"There are 12 "schools",(sects, denominations, "churches", how ever you want to call them) of Sunni jurisprudence,

There are 7 "schools" of Shia jurisprudence,"

Yeah jay we have heard of them. The fivers, the twelvers, what ever we have heard of them

There is more intolerance "of the other" in Islam than just the Wahabbi.

So Jay quit playing school marm and go eff yourself.
