All Muslims share the same Islam. The Establishment is always telling us that there are good, moderate Muslims and extremist, jihadist Muslims and that the two different kinds have nothing in common with each other.
Wrong. What all Muslims have in common is the same Koran, the same prayers, the same Sunna of Mohammed and being a member of one umma (Islamic community).
Indeed, the Koran tells us that the jihadist is a better Muslim than the moderate Muslim. The phrase, Allahu akbar, is not only used a war cry, but every Muslim uses it in his daily prayers.
We are told that all Muslims want prosperity and democracy, but all Muslims do not want a democracy, because a democracy means that a Kafir is equal to a believer.
All of the Muslims share the Sunna of assassination. So instead saying they do not want violence of Garland, TX, they need to say that they reject the evil of the assassination Sunna of Mohammed. That would have real meaning.

I must think about this as I am thinking of engaging much more openly in NZ where I live with the media and in our capitol.

Clearly President Obama and Prime Minister David Cameron and other national leaders are either ignorant, misinformed or liars then when they state that Islam is peaceful or that there are moderate Muslims that value democracy then?
I like that you refer back to the unequal status of Kafirs or non-muslims to Muslims in the Koran and Islamic society and that Muhammed is the example of the perfect Muslim for all to follow.
It puts everything into true perspective.
Thank you

INFORMATION ABOUT ISLAM
http://toknowabout-islam.blogspot.com
It is quite common for Muslims to have scant acquaintance with what is actually in the Koran, Hadith, and Sira. A frequent - if not the most frequent - reason for apostasy from Islam is finally reading the Koran. A lot of Muslims haven't read it, and they get a morally sanitized version of the religion from their families and Imams. While Islam *is* what the foundational texts say it is, normal human beings with the normal desire to live and let live in a prosperous world have a tendency to adapt Islam to their own normal moral sense - to believe the best of it, especially if they've never read it for themselves.
Of course, this is a "corruption" of Islam. It goes against the commands of the Koran. It goes against the example of Mohammad. It makes the ignorant and "hypocritical" Muslim a better person than the one who follows the example of Mohammad in all ways. But while there is no moderate "Islam" (and there can't be because the Koran is regarded as the pure word of Allah and Mohammad is the example to follow), there are Muslims whose beliefs have been moderated by their own decency and ignorance. These people believe themselves to be Muslims regardless of what the pure Muslims think of them.
If you want to see this for yourself, read a lot of testimonies by former Muslims. You'll see how common it is for Muslims to be ignorant of what their own primary texts say and who Mohammad - according to those texts - was.
This is why some anti-Jihadists aim at getting Muslims to read the Koran as a means to facilitate apostasy. I know of one preacher whose primary tactic to getting Muslims to leave Islam is to get them to read the Koran and then he shows them the New Testament.
Erdogan, of Turkey spelled it out for the West...
Speaking at Kanal D TV's Arena program, PM Erdogan commented on the term “moderate Islam”, often used in the West to describe AKP and said, “These descriptions are very ugly, it is offensive and an insult to our religion. There is no moderate or immoderate Islam. Islam is Islam and that’s it."
Did the West listen? No, because that would grind against their current fairy-tale of Islam that they are propagating with their cowardly PC and MC nonsense.
