And dozens of others. This was just a few major players.Muslims who kill people of other faiths are a minority: Boko Haram in Nigeria, Al Qaeda by the Arabs, Abu Sayyaf in the Philippines, the Taliban in Afghanistan and Pakistan. They are a minority.
That's quite a long list of minorities, and you left off the Islamic state in Syria and Iraq.
Of course there are plenty of Christian terrorist groups around as well - they do not have the modern body count and effect that the Muslim one currently have though.
The point is still standing though – they ARE a ‘minority’ of the religious adherents. I think that is an overplayed point though – currently Islam is a major player in terrorist groups and that speaks to a problem the faith as a whole is experiencing.
Not "dozens" of others. I'll add the Shebab in Somalia, the Arab Islamic State, and Chechnia. I am not including the factions in Palestine and Lebanon, they are not spreading Islam but fighting the Israeli agressor. You can not name 5 other groups.
Islam is not suffering a crisis. It is Al Qaeda, Boko Haram and so on which are trying to hijack Islam, without any success; save by some people who think that they actually represent Islam.
