After recent Daesh (ISIS) attacks on Tunisia, Kuwait and France, it's difficult for non-Muslims to perceive the religion in a fair light.

It's impossible to begin on where the differences lie between average Muslims and the so-called "Sunni" Daesh extremists. Muslim countries and leaders have been unanimous on condemning the militants' actions and speaking out against incidents that don't represent the Islamic religion

But there are no words that quite make the statement this cartoon illustration provides. Sometimes a picture can be worth a thousand words. 

The bubble translates to: "Daesh, you're understanding the religion wrong," taken from Arabs who circulated the illustration on Facebook.  

Daesh has a whole lot left to learn about Islam — on the most basic level, someone should probably tell them to face Mecca
