I challenge you to use islamic law to debunk what the "extremists" are saying...
It's what a friend of mine was tasked to do as a lawyer and Intel Officer working on the Joint Staff J2. He couldn't do it.

An honest point....there is no one spokesman/religious school of thought that defines 'true' Islam there are many.
They all refer to the Qur'an and the Hadiths...actually, the Qur'an is in many places unintelligable without the Hadiths to explain it....
The life and sayings of Muhammed (sunna/hadiths) are actually used more as a guide for conduct than the Qur'an and there are examples of Mu's life that can support just about any violent position one would like...ergo, it is easy to find a Mullah, Sheik,Imam to support any position and underwrite it with scripture....as the life/sayings of Mu are not taken in a 7th Century context but extrapolated directly to life today as he was the 'best example of manhood' to ever exist yada, yada.
