The whole issue of what constitutes the koran is shrouded in myth and half-truths because some things mohammad said were written while he was still alive but most of it was written after his death.

Since then, things have been edited/added/redacted (whatever you want to call it) until we're where we're at today.
Sardar is quite right in saying that things are "not up for discussion", you accept what "they" say or suffer the consequences!

I think that is true of most religious teachings, CeeDee they have been manipulated and tailored over the years to suit many different agendas along the way.
BTW 'ordinary' muslims are showing their condemnation of Isis etc on a small local level by holding meetings in Mosques and handing out street flyers etc.
Sadly nothing that is dramatic enough to make headline news necessarily.
