Your statement reminds me of when a famous cleric got on nationwide TV, and said.
Show me in the Qur'an, where it says to fly airplanes into buildings.
The writings of islam, both Qur'an and sunnah, repeatedly say to kill the non-believers, and if you follow muhammeds life story, that's exactly what he did.
You have in the messenger a beautiful pattern of conduct to follow. ( Qur'an)
I do find quite a few place where Muslims did Kill non-Muslims. But no where is there any command for us, living today, to do so,
Even in the past during the wars killing was in defense only and as a last resort.
Actually the commands in islam are open-ended, and are valid for today, tomorrow, and next week.
And only one of muhammeds battles could even be considered self defence, however it was when they faced off with real soldiers, and lost 7000 men, and most of the Qur'an.
He is documented in 78 raids. All, where he was the aggressor, for booty.
Yes, Muslims got all the way to France fighting in self defence!
The Holy Roman Empire carried Christianity into all of Europe, The UK and even got all the way to Turkey,Jerusalem and Arabia. But when the Ottoman Empire began pushing back it was called Muslim Aggression and invasion.
If American Muslims beheaded people like isis is doing I would fully except American Muslims to form up an stand with other Americans to stop them. If an American group was beheading people in other countries in the name of america I would expect Americans to form up and offer any help needed. This belief leads me to wonder why Muslims countries are not flocking in to stop this isis thing.

The ones that are financially capable are doing just that. However keep in mind, well over 1/2 in fact nearly 2/3 of the world's Muslims are in 5 Nations and in 2 of those Islam is a minority.
But Indonesia and Pakistan which represent about 1/3 of the World's Muslims are in the midst of the war against ISIS
Quote:
he president of Indonesia, the world’s most populous Muslim-majority country, deemed the actions of the Islamic State in Iraq and Syria group “embarrassing” to the religion and called upon Muslim leaders to unite in tackling extremism, Agence France-Presse reported.
Susilo Bambang Yudhoyono said the scale of the killing instigated by the extremists in their offensive in large areas of Iraq and Syria and the level of violence being used was appalling.

Pakistani soldiers called in to protect Saudi Arabia’s border against ISIS
Saudi Arabia has deployed thousands of troops from Egypt and Pakistan along its border with Iraq, amid fears of invasion by the Islamic State of Iraq and al-Sham (ISIS).
Bangladesh, India and China contain the next largest segment of the world's Muslims Nearly 1/3 but Muslims are minorities in India and China with little political say in those nations. Bangladesh while containing nearly 1/4 of the world's Muslims is also one of the world's poorest nations with no military strength. However they are arresting those trying to recruit for ISIS
Quote:
British ISIS suspect is arrested in Bangladesh on suspicion of recruiting jihadists to fight in Syria
Local police named arrested Briton as Samiun Rahman, alias Ibne Hamdan
They suspect him of recruiting militants for ISIS in two Bangladeshi cities
He arrived in the country in February, having previously spent time in Syria
Suspected militant recruiter also recently visited Morocco and Mauritania
The next largest group of Muslims are in the 2 nations currently being destroyed by ISIS and those in immediate danger of being attacked by ISIS. They are fighting ISIS tooth and nail.
Keep in mind ISIS is out to destroy nearly 90% of the world's Muslims they are a greater danger to Islam than to any Western Nations. the only reason any non-Muslims are being harmed is because they happen to be in the Muslim Nations ISIS is trying to conquer.
This war is predominantly a war of Islam versus ISIS
ISIS, is Islam, followed more closely than most other branches.
They are doing exactly what Muhammed did, and ordered his followers to do.
Muslims fighting ISIS are not fighting for religious purposes, as ISIS can show you in writing, from God, they are on the right path.
The west actually needs a group like ISIS, so the world can see what Islam is all about.
The vast majority of us disagree with that.
What most of us believe to be Islam has little resemblance to what you and ISIS claim to be Islam.
