Hoi,
Your sarcasm is nothing but discrimination. You throw everybody who beliefs
on one pile. Just as if a religion, any religion is needed for people to
get off the rails. There are plenty of examples of that.
As to who is an actual Muslim and who understands the sunna and its
interpretation particularly in the light of Daesh, they are two distinct
questions. Any typical Muslim will leave the finer points to the scholars,
any typical Muslim will disagree with Daesh on many major points.
Thanks,
GerardM
