True Islam by Jan Mel Poller
We are told by experts that this or that is not “true Islam” and “it has nothing to do with Islam”. So I ask experts like President Obama, Secretary of State John Kerry and the mayor of Philadelphia, “What is true Islam?” What do they know that we don’t? What do they know that Muslims don’t?
There are 73 sects of Islam. Here are 4 major ones. Which ones are true Muslims and which are not?
Sunni
Shia
Alawite
Salafi
What do Muslims in each of the 73 groups say? Do the Sunni think that Shia are real Muslims? Do the Shia think that the Sunni are real Muslims?
Which of these groups are true Muslims and which are fake Muslims who falsely identify themselves as Muslims? Which aren’t Muslim at all?
IS/ISIS/ISIL/Da’esh/Islamic State
Al Qaeda
Hamas
Hezbollah
Islamic Jihad
Boko Haram
Abu Sayyaf
Kurdistan Workers Party
Al Nusrah Front
Taliban
Ansar al-Sharia
Muslim Brotherhood
On what basis would they not be considered Muslim when they themselves say they are?
What acts are Islamic and which are not? Which have nothing at all to do with Islam or Muslims?
Honor killing (killing a female spouse or child for unauthorized sex)
Martyrdom
Muslim Brotherhood killing of Egyptian Coptic Christians
The ousting of Morsi by al Sisi and protection of Egyptian Copts
Blowing up a market place or mosque of another sect
Torturing infidels
Killing infidels
Driving Christians out of a predominantly Muslim County
Torturing gays
Killing Gays
The 9/11 attack
The Fort Hood massacre
The San Bernardino Massacre
The Charlie Hebdo/kosher market massacre
The Paris Massacre
The mass sexual assaults on women in Germany and Sweden
The kidnap of hundreds of girls by Boko Haram in Nigeria
The attempted murder by a self-professed Muslim of a Philadelphia Policeman
The Da’esh attacks on Yazidis
The sexual enslavement of Yazidi women
Many people are not so sure that Islam is a peaceful religion. While most Muslims may be peaceful, at appears that many are not.
When political leaders deny the obvious, they appear to be delusional, dishonest, uncertain and certainly not leaders.
Will our leaders please face reality, tells us the reality and tell us how they will try and solve the problems we all face.
The questions are easy. The answers are not.
