This article lists various controversies related to Islam and Muslims.

Overview

It is hard to draw a line that distinguishes between political motivated and religious motivated controversies regarding this issue, since politicians are known to use religion as a tool, and also since Islam has within itself a political system. Politics is the process by which decisions are made within groups. ... Religious is a term with both a technical definition and folk use. ...

As an example of controversies by a Muslim, a message attributed to Abu Musab al-Zarqawi propagated that Shi'a Muslims in Iraq should be killed since they are heretics^{[citation needed]}. While Shi'a may attribute the motivation of this message to politics, other may put a true religious motivation to it^{[citation needed]}. This does not become more clear with some people alleging he was used as a propaganda tool. The same goes to controversies by the non-Muslim, for example how religious motivated is the Iraq war? The US president has a voters base of conservative Christians^{[citation needed]}, and people in his administration have used what has been term as a Tenth Crusade, yet they officially deny any religious motivation for their political actions^{[citation needed]}. Wikinews has news related to: Abu Musab al-Zarqawi killed in airstrike Abu Musab al-Zarqawi (Arabic: , , Abu Musab from Zarqa)) (October 20, 1966 – June 7, 2006) was a Jordanian who ran a militant training camp in Afghanistan alongside Osama bin Laden. ... Shia Islam, also Shi`ite Islam or Shi`ism (Arabic: ‎ transliterated: Persian: ‎ ) is the second largest denomination of the religion of Islam. ... The Tenth Crusade is a rhetorical device that builds an analogy between the U.S.-led War on Terrorism and the historical Crusades. ...

Another example the 2001 destruction of Buddhas of Bamyan in Afghanistan. While the Talibans claimed they were on a campaign to crack down on "un-Islamic" segments of Afghan society, the government of Iran was among those urging them to not do so ^[1]. This does not get less muddy due to the fact that the same Taliban government had ordered the restoration of the same statues in 1999. The Buddhas of Bamyan (Pashto: د بودا بتان په باميانو کې De Buda butan pe bamiyano ke, Persian: تندیس‌های بودا در باميان tandis-ha-ye buda dar bamiyaan) were two monumental statues of standing Buddhas carved into the side of a cliff in the Bamyan valley of central Afghanistan, situated 230 km (143 miles) northwest of Kabul at an altitude...

The same difficulties apply to whether a controversy is related to Islam (the religion) or Muslims (the adherents), since Muslims themselves are not in agreement in exactly what is Islam. For example, some (Sunnis) view that a Caliph chosen by the people holds religious authority, while others, for example Shi'a, reject that idea. If a Muslim claims that he acted on the order of a Caliph, is the act related to Islam or the Muslim? For people named Islam, see Islam (name). ... There is also a collection of Hadith called Sahih Muslim A Muslim (Arabic: مسلم, Persian: Mosalman or Mosalmon Urdu: مسلمان, Turkish: Müslüman, Albanian: Mysliman, Bosnian: Musliman) is an adherent of the religion of Islam. ... For main article see: Caliphate Khalif is the head of state in a Caliphate, and the title for the leader of the Islamic Ummah, or global Islamic nation. ...

On the same token, while one Muslim may do one action and attribute it to Islam, some other Muslim may denounce the same actions, also referring to Islam.
