It is unfortunate that ISIS is often seen as an outshoot of Islam or as Islam by some.
Merely trying to link atrocities to the Quran or sayings of the Prophet peace be upon him does not make something Islam.
There are many people use try to twist the sayings and example of people out of context for their own benefit and actions.
It seems that only president Obama has been wise enough to recognise ISIS as non Islamic.
Many Muslims feel insulted having such groups and terrorist people attributed to them and the religion of Islam.
Islam is against the killing of innocent people and of oppression of both Muslims and non Muslims.
Muslims have a mission of telling people and calling people to Islam, which involved trying to teach people and persuade them about the faith.
If people accept they are considered brotgers and if not they are left to live their lives according to the beliefs and religion that they choose.
The Quran tells us
there is no compulsion in religion, the right way has become distinct from the wrong way.
To tell people about Islam people have to be alive, they would not be able to do so if they were dead.
If people were killed for not accepting the faith a lot of the people who have done - including myself - would not be around at the moment
Killing, oppression and attacks on innocents are all against the practice of the Prophet Muhammad peace be upon him.
It is said he never raised a hand to any woman, and not to any man except I'm the battlefield.
If he were here would he accept the killing of innocent men and women? Of course not.
Prophet Muhammad peace be upon him forgave many of the people who harmed him and his family.
His uncle was killed and a woman ordered for his liver to be removed so she could chew it up and sour it out.
Still be forgave her and in the end she became Muslim from her own free will.
The Quran prevented the killing of innocent baby girls prevalent at the time and the inheritance of women by the son of their husband.
Women had no rights before Islam, yet they were given a voice, a code of conduct and various rights from the Quran.
The essence of the shariah is to prevent the things that harm people he encourage those things that are good.
Education for both men and women is obligatory to some level and recommended more than that.
Women and also men have the right to choose their marriage partner and to accept or refuse.
A saying of Prophet Muhammad peace be upon him says that the virgin shall not be married until her permission is sought.
People asked how her permission could be sought.
Her silence is her permission.
That is because if she does not protest ir is as if she does not mind, except if she shows any other sign of non acceptance.
I hope to have given some insight over the issue of ISIS not being Islamic.
One may ask, then who are they?
This is the problem we seem to find not an answer towards.
A confused type of cowboy perhaps.
This is another reason why ignorance of the true Islam has a negative effect on a lot of the world.
