Did Jesus command his followers to kill unbelievers? He told his followers to just "shake the dust off your feet" as a symbolic gesture. Mohammed wanted them to actually conquer and kill. I would say there is a slight difference in intent.

Moderate Muslims are just as much targets for the radical ones as anyone else. They're considered infidels because they don't kill for Allah.

They’re considered worse than mere infidels; they’re considered apostates under the doctrine of takfir.

Who’s the first ones that killed by the radical nutcases? Usually the Sufis, then the Ahmadiyya, then on down the line with anyone who doesn’t agree with a narrow and dogmatic interpretation.

And let’s not even get started on the Sunni/Shia schism...that’s a whole different can of worms - the world’s longest-running sectarian war, sometimes cold, and sometimes hot.
