Finally you get it. You say that "just because someone claims to be Christian doesn't make them one" and that Jesus would never condone the things that have been done in his name. Absolutely. Yet you wish to make the claim that everything done in the name of Islam, no matter how vile, is validly Islamic. The point is the same thing holds here -- not everything done in the name of Islam is a valid expression of that faith.
