All devout Muslims that believe in the Koran as written are Radical Muslims. I lived and worked in the Middle East for a few years and not all are radical, many were not and are my friends. The radicals are at the top of the religion and many well educated. They are fanatics. The other fanatics are at the bottom and mostly poorly educated and believe what those at the top say. "Kill and destroy the Jews and Christians least they be subservient or convert to Mohammedanism. The spoils of war are yours to use as you see fit, be it woman, man, or child. Thus a very powerful motivator for the ignorant. If you die in battle you get a straight ticket to heaven with 72 virgins.

Now for a bit of humor to my post. 72 virgins would be hell on a man. Imagine the bitching and complaining about your virility (72 is a lot to service) and the jealousy in the harem. 72 virgins come with 72 mother in laws, 72 menstrual periods etc. Imagine what the kitchen would be like with those 72 all together. All this might make homosexuality a venue or Christianity. I opt for Christianity. LOL

Quoting my younger self, “72 virgins? How the heck am I going to entertain myself the second month of eternity?”

This reminds me of Mao-tse Tung's principle that the revolutionary is the fish that swims in the sea of the people.
