In reply to the discussion: Ex-muslim Here to answer any questions you might have [View all]to answer that question for me is also the same as saying the westbaptist group is a christian group. So lets say if i go to christians and say well i think westbaptist group is a christian group. I would be told that of course not. Same is with islam. If i go to muslims especially non sunni muslims and say is isis islamic then there answer would be the same. Of course not! but the reason i left religion is because in my heart of hearts and (any christians here forgive me when i say this) but i do believe westbaptist is a form extreme christanity. Distorted or not. what i have seen from religion and what they do to people i would not wish them on my worst enemies.
