Ultimately, Islam is not represented by a single person, country, or ruler. Islam is properly understood through the what Muslim scholars have identified to be the main teachings of Islam. It is essential to distinguish between Islam and the actions of extremists actions or dictatorships. This will prevent people from misunderstanding Islam and marginalizing and demonizing Muslims.
