Islamic Caliphate Declared

I'm fairly certain that sections of Muslims in various countries choose to follow a hard-line interpretation of the Quran. I have no way of knowing what percentage of these also believe that IS is a legitimate Muslim organization or who support the murdering of aid workers.

Perhaps you can hop over to these countries and run a poll...

"So, according to your definition of what constitutes a Muslim, would you consider the following to be Muslims:"

I don't remember ever defining exactly what a Muslim is.

But it would appear that if this research is correct, the more backward (uneducated and insular) a country is, the more they favour 'Wahhabi style' Islam.

Absolutely. Evil will flourish whenever people turn a blind eye to it.

The only thing I can compare it to is the mentally of cults such as the Scientologists. Anyone who disagrees or questions their actions are deemed to be non-believers and anti what the cult stands for. The best way to survive in any cult situation is to mindlessly accept everything you are told. Don't question anything and all will be good with the world...

Of course this is not true of all Muslims, but many seem happy to stay silent when they see on the news outrages such as cutting off an aid worker's head with a knife.

The next victim they have lined up for their barbaric desert 'video special' is Muslim convert/revert, Abdul-Rahman Kassig. He too was running a charity to help alleviate the suffering of the people of Syria.

How can people sit back and do nothing when evil psychopaths are denigrating their religion? Surely people from all religions know the basic difference between what is morally right and what is morally repulsive? If not, what's the point of religion?

And I repeat: Many Muslims have spoken out about these outrages, but a lot have stayed silent. How many more heads of innocent civilians must lie in the sand before this silence is broken?

I bet that whatever emotions are overwhelming murdered British aid worker Alan Henning's widow right now are not feelings of oppression... BTW. Is this going to be a Sunni caliphate or are these fun-loving murderers going to invite Shia Muslims to join the party in this earthly 'paradise?' I've said from the beginning these animals were NOT Muslims because a true Muslim would not cause corruption on the earth. If I remember correctly the leader of the IS said that he would destroy the Ka'baa when he reaches Mecca. If that is true then he is definately NOT a Muslim because the Ka'baa is the first place of worship established on earth, forty years before the Temple in Jerusalem. I think the trouble with True Muslims is that they are unable or unwilling to speak out against so called fellow Muslims when they are clearly NOT Muslims. One must first understand what makes a True Muslim. Rest assured, these animals will NOT ever establish a Caliphate because the way they are going the Western countries will (hopefully) obliterate these animals from the face of the earth. This is only because the Muslims are unable or unwilling to do it.

Thanks for the response, Abu. And I'm sorry if my tone was harsh. Disgust at this outrage to all that is decent (he was only in Syria to help Muslims), made me very angry - not a good time to make a post.

You are correct; these 'people' are not Muslims, but they are calling themselves Islamic State. That alone should be enough to enrage true Muslims into denouncing them. BTW. I have some Muslim friends on Facebook who were quick - and very vocal - in their denunciation of Israel for their attacks on Gaza - and they were right to denounce the Zionist zealots.   But they are strangely quiet when yet another hostage is cruelly butchered on camera by these psychopaths.

If they think that it is unislamic to speak up, perhaps they need educating - not only in Islam, but also in core human values.
