If I were forced to assign a label to you, it would be "accidental deconstructionist." --me

Rather easier than actually refuting me, isn't it? --you

You asked for nuance ;) … I agree with you that "relativist" didn't quite cut it.
Rather than repeat myself…again, I will paraphrase Boswell. I did refute your argument , but I am not obliged to find you an understanding.

They are doing exactly that, except that it's logically consistent within the rules of the system in which they operate

Okay, one last try:

You are missing the essential point.
The system to which I refer is a result of evolution, not personal preference.
The rules describe the invariable bias of humans in favor of self-preservation
("Survival isn't chocolate ice cream." -
Get it, yet?)
The rules are encoded in our DNA.

The behavior of radical Radical Islam is inconsistent with those rules.
Radical Islam's behavior is irrational.
QED.
