Pakistani Federal Minister of Railways, Sheikh Rasheed Ahmad, recently said in Pakistan’s Parliament,
How strikingly different is his view of Muslim theology from the Pope's or Mr. David Cameron's.
He was not referring to an inner struggle against evil, because he then went on to say
These two are not theologians but ardent and highly controversial "Kashmiri separatists" who have been accused, with what truth I know not, of running violent gangs.
The good news is that ISIS had very little support in 2015 among Muslims in a number of countries, though plenty of support in Africa, according to a Pew survey. 8% of British Muslims in a poll that year said they had some "sympathy" for people who went to fight for ISIS but sympathy is a hopelessly ambiguous word and so that poll tells you nothing.
“Those who avoid jihad are not Muslims.”
