Well, I'm not fans of any of those groups - the difference is - they've been relatively good at keeping the Rhetoric strictly Rhetorical.

Not of a specific case, but I can give a specific of a type of case - namely where a Sharia court adjudicates over the dissolution of an Islamic marriage and strips the woman of all her rights (property, children etc.) that she is granted under Western Law.

In the old testament, certainly - but most of the silly rules in Christianity were retconned in the New Testament - it's why Christians can enjoy Shellfish, clothes of 2 fibres and eat Pork.
The Qu'ran (and supporting haddiths) have no such qualifiers.

People like Maajid Nawaz for example - who is a very moderate Muslim - was labelled as "An anti-muslim Extremist" by the SPLC (although as of a few hours ago - they've now admitted that he isn't) - I think that is proof enough that people like Maajid are not in the majority.

There's a quote (which for the life of me I can't find) from I believe a leading Egyptian Immam when he was pressed as to whether or not ISIS where conforming to the tenants of Islam, he acknowledged that they were. I'll see if I can find it.

Ultimately - it was the Russians that overthrew Communism. I guess you could say I support them - but from a point of principle, not from a point of lobbying and pouring money into the cause.
