(30,009 posts)where two people killed a Sikh shortly after 9/11? I know a Sikh isn't Muslim but they thought he was a Muslim.
You are talking about roughly 2 billion of the world population while the followers of a controversial sect that didn't exist before the 18th century which has many different beliefs & rituals practiced by overall Islam. They even oppose the Hajj.
Ultraconservative, orthodox, right-wing sect & which uses selective fiqh texts in addition to how they interpret what they meant. In addition, the original Wahabbi cult took over Saudi Arabia but given their early divisions with the Muslim majority community (which still exist far more than you probably realize) -- fiqh texts are especially used when it comes to restrictions in how they apply to women.
They were very active in promoting propaganda to improve their image & Wahabbism really boomed during the petroleum export era & I could post much more & share much more information, especially on the propaganda angle -- you know how many books written since Al-Qaeda & The Taliban began that are in use in recruiting propaganda? It is the worst & epic case of oppressors using religion which new sects & splits have been formed in all the big 3 religions during cases of oppression. The "First Christians" sect should probably call themselves Jews.
and I'm sure this major Christian sect split in 1054 has nothing to do with the cold war

To finalize, I have read parts of the Quran. You have to understand, original Arabic translation issues are major problematic even among Islamic scholars & there is a lot referencing events that take place in context to the oppression going on which inspired the Quran (A lot of oppressors using faith) Muhammed himself struggled in non-violence opposition with those oppressors than came a lot of the self-defense stuff that is selective posted & out-of-context. Very first mention of "jihad" says don't fight until they attack you inside the mosques (which the Wahabbis destroy to prevent idolatry based on a warped mention of mere mention not to worship Muhammed images -- there was a lot of that going on by oppressors which explains what led to Eastern Orthodox Christianity in 1054)
Then many don't realize how the era of Islamic jurists and wide variety of fiqh texts and their need to finish the Quran has on current Islam & Wahabbis warped view of what is correct in addition to how they personally interpret it. (I could tell you some stories how some people understood what the bible was really saying but quoting the opinions of people from a very long time ago but Wahabbists and very selective in which opinions from Muhammed to cite & which ones not to cite. In any case, contrast the "Constitution of Medina" compared to who rules over Medina.
