This is a repost because the other thread got derailed by falsehoods. The following is why Islam is such an unstable religion:
*Quran believed to contain revelations from God
*Revelations contradict each other, so Muslims are supposed to follow the most recent one, since God's word is law.
*Revelations are not sorted in chronological order or dated.
*any "revelation" can be used to justify violence.
So really, what ISIS is doing, is not Islam extremism, it follows the Quran. The same cannot be said for Christianity and the New Testament. (the old testament is more relevant to Jewish faith, when Jesus came, he corrected the Old Testament's version of God as well as the beliefs it taught.) Violence caused by Christians is violence caused by those who did not align themselves with Christ's message of love. They suspended their religious beliefs.

We are truly lucky that a great chunk of the Muslim culture is illiterate. The actions of violent "radicals" are explicitly commanded of the followers of Allah within their holy texts. It's their "holy crusade" of sorts. *begin rant Ironic that it is often argued that Christians are no better because of the crusades. The crusades were a direct result of the expansion of the Islamic empire. And the justification for such crusades was derived from Roman Catholic values that are in explicit contradiction to scripture. *end rant
