All is well and dear brother, you have legitimate as well as democratic right to disagree with me on philosophy of Islam. However, disagreement should not be based on hypotheses but on absolute reality. It is a fact that few disgruntle and extremists in the garb of Islam are major source of discontentment for world. They are inciting youth to promote violence and get revenge. Such acts are despicable and ought to be condemned.

West fought two world wars but nobody condemned Christianity. Despite mostly Western countries are Christians including Germany and Hitler was a Christian but his religious entity was never highlighted because he was a killer of humanity. He exploited weakness of German and mentally prepared them to get revenge.

Same way if any extremist who has nefarious design to kill human beings without rhyme and reason is not a true Muslim. Western Media and bigotry scholars are tarnishing the image of Islam. Islam has nothing to do with cruelty, hostility and mayhem. Give any example of Islam especially with reference to Quran which support extremism and terrorism.
