I suppose I’m being a smart-aleck.

As Mohammed slaughtered his way across the arabian peninsula, he couldn’t have been a true muslim, and what he taught couldn’t have been Islam, which we know to be a peaceful religion. When his followers then chopped and butchered their way across North Africa through Spain and into France within a couple of years of his death, obviously they also misrepresented Islam and weren’t true muslims.

When they conquered the Holy Land, and Asia Minor, and the Balkans, and left rivers of blood all the way into Austria, they obviously again were not muslims, since we know true muslims to be peaceful folk. When they spent the next thousand years raiding the Mediterranean coast seizing slaves for their markets, we know that the Barbary pirates weren’t muslim, because had they been muslim they would never have done such a thing.

When they wage war all across the globe to this day, they may call themselves muslims, but we non-muslims know that they are not, obviously, because we know a true muslim when we see one and a true muslim is peaceful. We may never have seen one in real life, but if we ever do, he will be peaceful. Meanwhile, these billion or so impostors are just that, impostors. So we should be able to keep them out of our country without having to worry our consciences about it or being hectored by people claiming to be muslim but who obviously don’t know that they are supposed to be peaceful.

By our understanding of what Islam has to be, Mohammed himself was no muslim.
