According to analyst and researcher Daniel R. DePetris, the five deadliest terror groups in the world are all Islamic. Is anyone surprised?
There are simply too many devout Muslims - including theologians and political leaders - who promote terrorism as a religious act to deny that this is Islamic. And these theologians and leaders can point to too many texts within the Quran and Islamic tradition, along with examples from the life of Muhammad, to say that this is not Islam.
