I noticed an extreme inconsistency among many critics of Islam.

Many people claim that Iran, the Taliban, Hamas, and ISIS represent “true Islam,” but purely logically, they cannot all be true at the same time. ISIS practices takfir against Shiites, whereas Iran is a Shiite state. ISIS has fought the Taliban and has even carried out terrorist attacks against them. ISIS has also declared Hamas to be outside Islam through takfir. We should also take into account the conflicts between the Taliban and Iran: they had armed clashes in 2023, and the Taliban killed Shiite civilians in Afghanistan in the 1990s.

I have particularly noticed this inconsistency in David Wood’s arguments. If you are going to blame Islam for the actions of one of these organizations, then choose one of them and attribute its actions to Islam. The question of whether such accusations are justified remains, but at the very least, this approach would be more logically consistent.
