Every religion has fanatics, and every religion has been infiltrated and scapegoated. The good guys are individuals that recognize their divine connection to Source regardless of their religion. God does not turn his believers into self-righteous murderers, corruption does.
I suggest you consult the koran. They weren't fanatics, they were fundamentalists. Islam has been white washed for your consumption. Their devine source commands your death and their word of god is very, very clear about it.
I suggest you learn about Islam from someone who is not corrupt and not take the Quran at face value. Like all religious texts, the same text that can guide can deceive. It's how the Truth is protected and given to those who strive from their heart. I studied Sufism for 30 years. It is considered the mystical aspect of Islam. I learned only love and service to mankind. However, I've heard the most ridiculous stories told from people who claim to know what Islam is. And I've seen the fanatics around the world who claim to represent it. They don't. Islam means submission to God's Will, NOT submission to ignorance or violence or judgment.
I will not get into debate over terms that will always end up being a matter of interpretation. As my Sufi teacher says... "words do not contain the meaning." Look deeper, from within your heart -- not from your brain, not from your stomach where fear resides. Let go of judgment by friend. There is so much more to life.

Go read it. Check. It's not a secret.
And by the way, do you still think someone flew planes into the buildings on 9-11? And do you still think it planned by Osama bin Laden?
