How do I know so much about Islam?
I was one of them for 21 years of my life.
Islam is not a religion like Christianity which can be changed.
The Qu'ran is considered the word of god and Allah has already said that it will never change.
Therefore if Islam changes then it will no longer be Islam.
In fact, the Shia changed their version to Shia'ism, the Sufis to Sufism, etc.
The form of Islam which is closest to that practiced by Muhammad is Wahabism and is the driving force behind Islamic terrorism today.
By the way, the closest to real Christians would appear to be the Jehovah's Witnesses. Although I could be wrong on that, as my knowledge of Christianity is fairly poor.
But my knowledge of Islam is second to none. It's a fascinating religion, albeit one of man's greatest mistakes.

Just because you used to be a religious nutjob, does not mean that that encompasses the entire religion. A large part of most religions is that most of their followers do not follow them to the letter, and that also holds for Islam.
Jehova's Witnesses consider themselves the only real christians, just like any other christian group. That means nothing else to outsiders than that there are different groups with different views on what the truth is.
The fact that you think only your group represents "true Islam" is laughable to any well-thinking individual because it is exactly what they all say. Millions of people who have studied what they consider "true Islam" all their lives have very different opinions on what "true Islam" is, why should a single one of those opinions get the exclusive right to use the word?
And even more importantly... it doesn't even matter if you are right or not, since the only difference it would make would be that we would have to use "the majority of those who consider themselves muslims" instead of "the majority of muslims", and "true muslims" instead of "extremist muslims". Big fucking deal. A turd is a turd no matter what you call it.
