Islam, indeed, Chrisitianity, Judaism, Hinduism, Bahai, Zoroastrianism, etc, etc, etc; are all obligated to be observed by the standards of the formation of beliefs, written or otherwise memorilized. It is the bane of humanity that left true recognition of Whom to worship that mankind finds itself in a world of divisiveness in observing the supernatural wihout following a universal recognition of a known Almighty Eternal Sovereign.
It started in the beginning and humanity has not yet found the means nor the desire to resort to that search for meaning of life as it was originally set to be lived.
To that point observed here as to whether Islam should be judged, by what premise or observation does anyone think Islam should be judged; Judaism or Christianity, which Islam is reputed to be led by the Quran (by what authors, that is yet to be fully acknowledged); Islam refuses to be led by any other religious standard. Some would suggest returning to the Savior of the Christian Gospel, but it was from that message that Islam takes the greatest insult; and history records the massacres of the other religious endeavors now sitting in ashes and rubble. So much for Islamic standards.
In the alternative, the battle for tolerance in a world of intolerance will remain for mankind to struggle with until the realization that there is only one Truth, and not religion, that will terminate humanity's inhumanities to mankind and the cause of that rebellion to the Truth is revealed from the supernatural in its due time; shortly.
