Are All Muslims Terrorists?

From the Terrorist strikes of 9/11/01 to ISIS, the Muslim Religion has been painted into one of many  nations most feared religions, but what we do not seem to grasp, even today, is the fact that it's only a hand full of whom are a part of a fanatical sect calling themselves a part of Islam that give this religion a negative persona.

Barak Barfi has presented a challenge to the leader of ISIS. A challenge that throws back to the practice of a peaceful debate, a method used by Muslim Calif leaders that follow the truth of the Qur'an instead of their own twisted version, one that is done without weaponry or anger, instead it is done with mercy (Mercy being the backbone of the teachings of the Qur'an) and peaceful conversation. Barak's challenge was not just for the leader of ISIS, but also to other Muslims and Arabic's around the world, so they may realize how deep of a threat ISIS can be, with their charismatic propaganda, manipulating the disenfranchised and youth who are seeking an identity, instead of teaching the true nature of the Qur'an, they teach only what they have chosen to mangle into their own manifesto.

Barak Barfi goes on to directly ask Al-Baghdadi, "Where is your Mercy?"  Muslim scholars said the key part of this passage, which forms the backbone of Islam's "just war" theory, is that, "while self-defense is allowed, violent aggression, especially against innocents, is a grave sin.". All of those whom were killed because they were not Muslim, or they join the ISIS group and convert but are later killed because their conversion came too later, are innocents. How long will we let this group steal our young, threaten our borders with invasion and death if we do not conform to their ways, and then later face execution we were not their part of their radical sect to begin with? How long will we let this ISIS group grip our throats with fear before we take action? While I applaud the challenge as set forth by Barak Barfi for the debate with the ISIS leader, I do not expect it to be met.  This is a group with which our Government, no Government can persuade with treaties or with a slap on the wrist by simply telling them "No more".  They hide their faces behind masks, they terrorize the weak, and prey on those they perceive have wronged them with no wrong having taken place, nor any slight directed to them or their families.  These are not holy warriors with a just cause, these are thugs making the world a part of their turf war.  More so, this is a pack of animals infected with rabies, and you cannot treaty with rabid animals.
