   EVERYONE claims to be doing what his founder commanded.

   It was the Pope and other mainstream leaders who endorsed the Crusades and   
   the Inquisitions etc. The current Muslim terrorists are a splinter minority   
   heresy of Muslims, condemed by the majority and by the mainstream leaders.   
      
   I've seen a Muslim quoted as saying something like: "We hate the terrorists   
   worse than you do. We think they are also heretics, blaspheming Allah by   
   claiming He wants this."
