The biggest mistake Muslims made at the height of anti-Islam sentiment was failure to characterize this issue as a sectarian conflict. A far better argument than this would have been: that's their interpretation and their sect, and neither one aligns with ours. These people hate the way we read the religion and want us dead for it, exactly as they want you dead. We reject their reading of our own faith, and lumping us together because we share the "Muslim" label makes about as much sense as assuming Protestants hold to Orthodox theology on the grounds that both are Christian. Rather than take this approach, however, Muslims chose to describe Islam as monolithic and that its sole proper interpretation contained absolutely no variance in practice. From that point forward, purity spirals developed with "ISIS aren't real Muslims, they don't practice the religion correctly." But this stance was indefensible from the start. Why? Because ISIS and other Jihadi groups continues to engage in violence and murder under the banner of Islam. But it also gave the Anti-Islam side effectively control of the courtroom because once you concede that there exists only one true form of Islam, you have automatically ceded authority to debate who represents it and you do so from a defensive posture while those claiming the most extreme forms of violence can define your religion for the public at large. Characterizing this whole thing as a sectarian conflict avoids all of these issues. That doesn't mean a Muslim can't argue for why they believe their sect and creed is the correct one, there simply needs to be an acknowledgment that a religion comprised of 2 billion followers includes significant disagreements among adherents concerning how their religion should be interpreted. It also cleanly establishes a line for other Muslim groups who are also targeted by the Jihadis, like Sufis, to not be caught in the crossfire and associated with them.
