C'mon Team Sgt, quit filling this thread with examples and just wax poetic about what Islam could be (but never really has been) and not what it is in practice.
The Ummah divide the world into two geographic entities: Dar iL Harb and Dar iL Salaam. These are the most basic and common of terms to describe the Muslim/NonMuslim world.
The first Dar il Harb means the "place or house of war" these are non Muslim ruled countries wher Islam is not yet supreme. The term war is not lightly used in Islam but is taken literally to mean that Islam , by virtue of it's tenets, must war with secular societies and will eventually triumph.
Dar iL Salaam is the 'place of peace' where Islam already is the law/religion of the land.
Even peaceful Muslims understand this most basic concept.
Even peaceful Muslims must side doctrinally at least with radicals they actually may personally disapprove of.
There in lies the rub.
