Slain policeman’s family warns against confusing extremists with Muslims

[politicman]

29. Is a terrorist a true Muslim or is the one that denounces the terrorist a true Muslim?????????

And that's the thing that a lot of people cant seem to understand, that Islam is not one big entity, Islam is in fact a billion different religions that resides in a billion different hearts around the world simply because each and every person can interpret for themselves what the religion permits and what it doesn't permit.


You can have one Imam take a passage out of the Koran and convince his followers that that passage calls for terror actions, and you can have a completely different Imam in the same suburb take that very same passage and convince his followers that that passage strictly forbids such actions.
Both Imams think in their hearts that their interpretation is the correct one and that they are proper Muslim's.


So the question becomes, How can any reasonable person go about deciding which Imam and his followers is a true representation of Islam and Muslim's?
