There has been a lot of discussion/debate together with statements on here and elsewhere on AB about Islam, Muslims, terrorists/ism, etc. The following link may be of interest to at least some of those who have taken part, especially those who do not cling to stereotypical views:

"We must again emphasize that these are preliminary results that not only
require data directly tied to Islamic economic principles but also require extensive
refinement of the EI2 as well. It is difficult at this time to draw more concrete
conclusions other than to say that it is our belief that most self-declared Islamic
countries have not adopted economic and financial policies that are in conformity
with Islamic teachings."

I confess my eyes glazed over once or twice, but I have read the report, which, depending upon your perception of it, is either laughable – or actually quite chilling. The authors are pro-Islam, and conclude that ‘most self-declared Islamic countries have not adopted economic and financial policies that are in conformity with Islamic teachings’.

I think the nub of it is that some muslims not being content with being 'superior' to non muslims want to prove that some muslims are 'superior' to other muslims. This is the attitude that in the past has led to wholesale massacres of insufficiently strict muslims or those perceived so to be. Why they can't leave this for god to soort out I can't imagine, it shows a lack of faith...in god.
