Yes we have sects. So do Christians and so do Jews. We have extremists in every religion.
Every guerrila, rebel, criminal who is happens to be muslim today is labelled terrorist. How many muslim leaders are there? inconsequential to how many civilian and peaceful muslims there are in the world. If Islam propogates violence and we were all criminals, then there would be noone else in the world but muslims, because there are a BILLION OF US, everywhere. For you to link religion to such criminals who conduct acts not even SANCTIONED in Islam, is ridiculous and you know it. You are either being hard-headed, ignorant or just plain IDIOTIC to think that.
You need to stop this anti-Islam propoganda you are spreading in GC, its wrong, and its prejudiced. Maybe this is the only audience you have? Yeah, I really think so.
