I found that to be a very helpful clarification, PowerClown, and the book you recommended is something I will look into. I read an interesting article this weekend (by a Muslim) that asked the "elephant in the living room question." Why has the peaceful adherents to Islam and the Koren not publically challenged/condemned the virulent form? My western naivete regarding religious sects of a mainstream religion is missing a relevant example.
I'm not being clear, so allow me to offer a silly analogy. There are two fundamentally similar sects of the Lutheran church, but what if one took a violent Old Testiment turn?
Wouldn't our Christianity based religions openly condemn a "perversion" of the Bible?
