In the United States, both the Left and the Right fail to defend Muslims correctly, even when it is their intention to do so. The Right claims that in its essence Islam is barbaric and violent in nature, and that Muslims around the globe must embrace Western secular values over their own in order to defeat extremism. The Left argues that: extremists do not represent most Muslims, nor are they fighting for Islam - they fight for personal gain, whether in the form of bounty or power. The fact of the matter is, according to Hadith, no one has the right to claim blasphemy on anyone who recites the Shahadah. aka ISIS barbarians are Muslim, for they claim to be so. ISIS represents Sunni Muslims in that many of their interpretations of the Quran are in line with what is taught by Sunni clerks, even from a young age. The only difference is that ISIS brutally executes upon those interpretations and the rest of the Umma silently nods. I have met and will continue to meet many who out-rightly wish for strictly Sunni Islam to somehow take up governance in Europe for instance, albeit rarely have I met those who wish that through violence. ISIS and other radical Islamist groups ARE fighting in the name of Islam, at least that is what they truly believe. Why else would they be difficult to beat?? They give up their lives sincerely in the name of God and their Prophet! They do not fear death, rather they see death as the ultimate reward for their sacrifice. To defeat the current wave of radical Islam, Muslims around the globe must consciously see that ISIS is the realization of their inner most fixations about Islam. They must confront those fixations and see how in their essence, through scripture, they are false. Only then will groups like ISIS diminish in power and influence.
