Why have there been no fatwas against the slaughter of Yazidis especially since its being

30. Yes, it DOES work. Your assumption that Muslims don't identify themselves by their branch is NAIVE

and very wrongheaded. Do you actually not think that each branch of Christianity believes that THEY are the "way and the light" and that every other branch has it wrong? Sure, they can play the ecumenical game, but they belong to their OWN club for a reason--because they think their group has it right.

Do you think the Shi'a who were assaulted and murdered by fervent Sunnis in Egypt for the "crime" of being Shi'a last year said "Oh gee, they don't mean it, they don't identify themselves by their 'branch' of Islam---we're all in this together...please, no, stop beating me to death!!! Don't set me on fire!!! We're a team!!!!"

al-Nour party poster reads: Together against the Shia.
They insult the prophets, they distort the Quran, they kill Sunnis

You call that "not wanting to be identified by their respective sects?" That's politics--and that's LOCAL.

There is so much you don't understand about Islam I just can't even begin... I'd suggest you do some reading. You do realize that your comment that Muslims are "schizophrenic about their identity" is pretty frigging, well, hateful, and if that kind of comment were made about Episcopalians or Jews, you'd probably be eating a pizza. You just might want to recalibrate.

Here's the bottom line--in Islam, like in Christianity and in Judaism, there are a few loony tunes. These people get all the press but they are not representative of the whole.
