Islam, according to scripture is not peaceful all. Jihad is not something the radicals picked out of thin air.

Hmmm. So obvious, and yet so thought provoking, as if it all hinges on this: Is "jihad" a misinterpretation of Islam? This is a rhetorical question -- that is, I'm proposing it as a genuine question to consider.

Either the "radical" muslims are correct in thier interpretation of islam, or the "moderate" ones are. But the moderate ones don't seem to have the moral courage to stand up against the radicals.
