See here's the problem. Islam is much more fragmented than most realize. These splinter groups are to Islam as the Westboro Baptist Church is to Christianity. They claim to be Islamic. but have widely different beliefs than orthodox Islam and as such are not accepted by general Sunnis and Shi'as. Hell, Shi'as are just barely alllowed on the hajj by the mainstream Sunnis, let alone other splinter groups like the Sevener's and the Twelver's and one that believes Ali, Muhammad's son, is a messianic figure. We can't continue to paint this broad picture of an all-conquering, unified Islam, it just isn't accurate. Christian churches use very similar rhetoric about the End Times, judgement, God's kingdom established on earth, "go and make disciples of all nations", etc.
