==========================

Allow me to explain to liberals in denial why Muslims kill other Muslims and blow up Mosques in the name of Islam, Allah, and Muhammad, despite all being Muslims and practicing Islam. I am tired of seeing these people claim X isnt a REAL Muslim or isnt practicing REAL Islam because they killed another Muslim or destroyed a Mosque.

First things to know, the 2 main sects of Islam and when Islam was founded.

Sunni Muslims

1.4 billion est pop today, other than Iraq, many Islamic countries are majority Sunni with Iran being 90% Sunni

Shia Muslims

aka Shiites, est pop today is 200 million, mainly located in Iraq 70%

Origin

Islam originates from the 7th century (600’s) and of the 3 biggest religions (Judaism, Christianity and Islam) Islam is the youngest.

The History

After the founders death (Muhammad) the people split. The Sunni wanted the next leader to be any practicing Muslim voted by the community. The Shia wanted succession to stay in the bloodline, the family, the Son of Muhammad or Fatimah. Think about different sects of Christianity despite the same religion and despite a few minor differences. The larger stronger Sunni sect killed many Shia over the dispute and in the Battle of Karbala 680AD they beheaded Shia leader and Muhammad’s grandson Husayn ibn Ali. Things only got worse over time.

In essence, Sunni for the most part do not see Shia as true Muslims. When Sunni or Shia kill their own, its typically because the convicted party broke Islamic rules. This is a blood feud of hatred and violence that has been raging on since the inception of Islam 1400 years ago. Its ingrained into the religion and people regardless if anyone likes it or not.

The Sunni in particular are really violent overall compared to Shia Muslims, and make up a majority of terrorist groups, attacks, violence etc. They are ISIS, Al-Qaeda, Hamas, Taliban, Boko Haram in many parts of Africa and other terror groups and kill non believers and blasphemers of Islam (other Muslims like the Shia, Christians, etc, basically infidels and “The West”) and more. Sunni’s and their terror groups practice “True Sunni Islam” Wahhabism/Salafi Jihadism and Sharia Law (hands cut off for theft, men can have 4 wives, to prove rape women need 4 male witnesses in court, homosexuality punishable by death, ALLOWED TO LIE TO NON MUSLIMS TO PROMOTE ISLAM INCLUDING JIHAD AGAINST INFIDELS, etc.

That last part is important these days with the refugee crisis and the “ISLAM IS PEACE, RADICAL ISLAM IS FRINGE EXTREMIST, 99% PEACEFUL” rhetoric we see every 1.4 billion Sunni Muslim spout on social media.

Also dont get me wrong, Shia have their own terrorists groups and are very violent but in comparison they are vastly outnumbered by Sunni Muslims and their brutality.

The following link shows how many Muslims around the world hold radical views and condone and sympathize with ISIS and other terrorism groups thus disproving claims of “fringe minority of Muslims are radical, 99% peaceful”
