Each time the Islamic State, al Qaeda or another terrorist group commits violence in the name of Islam, a familiar refrain arises: What's the Muslim world doing about it?
In fact, anti-extremism efforts abound in the global Muslim community: Muslim leaders and scholars have denounced the Islamic State group, the U.K.'s Muslim Youth League has declared "ideological holy war" against extremism, and YouTube has even tried to recruit American Muslims to counter extremist content.
And in Indonesia, home of the world's largest Muslim population, a massive anti-extremism movement is underway.
Nahdlatul Ulama, or NU, is the largest independent Islamic organization in the world, with 50 million members. Part Sunni religious body, part political party and part charity, it was founded nearly 90 years ago, in 1926, as a response to another Sunni movement, Wahabbism.
Wahhabism is the ultra-conservative reform movement based in Saudi Arabia that advocates for puritanical laws from the time of Islam's origins. It rejects the modern notion of "religion as a purely private activity" and the separation of church and state. The Islamic State is highly committed to Wahhabi principles, using its religious textbooks and embracing its hardline tradition of killing unbelievers.

I hope they can pull this off, note this is not some Johnnie come lately organization as it is said in the piece that they go back to 1926 , if so they have not been successful in combating Wahhabist matter of fact I only know of them through this article , but yes they do need to confront them in the Mosques, the Madrasas in media , the Wahabbist are well funded and have a jump start on the imagination of many young Muslims I hope they can be successful in combating their ideology.

If you believe the Muslim religion tells people to kill infidels then sure they are Muslim. I doubt the religion actually says that though.

I don't know man, how about we not deal in ambiguities as to smudge our sight? Let's shine some light so we all can see, that's fair wouldn't you say? You need not doubt things because it feels good, you need to doubt things because you have facts.

Seriously dude, as if this religion doesn't hold these verses you are acting like they are teaching freaking mma judo self-defense classes get real.
Here is some more for your viewing pleasure, btw all religions contain such rhetoric and its wrong when extremists use these doctrines to act out their fantasy's but to deny the existence is silly.
