Excellent exchange. Spoiled baby face Piers is insufferably stupid and arrogant.

Big question: How does one radicalize?

What is the process, what does it take, and when are you radicalized enough to fit the qualification of being radicalized?

Who determines the degree of radicalization, ultimately, the media?

Can only Muslims be radicalized? Do other people have to radicalize you? Does the person have to be connected to a known terror group to radicalize you?

Or can a book, sayyyy, the Quran, radicalize you? If you read it “wrong?” How do you read the Quran without becoming radicalized, and what were the mistakes the radicalized did, to get radicalized from a book that would NEVER radicalize a good Muslim??

And maybe most important of all, is radicalization like Alzheimers, which can only be accurately diagnosed posthumously? “He must have been radicalized” because he blew himself up with a bomb?

If you cannot tell until after the terror is committed whether a Muslim is radicalized, how will the TSA and ICE ever know?

We need to know more about this mysterious process of “radicalization.” If the media uses this term, we need it explained and every question above answered.

You do insufferably stupid and arrogant people a disservice. ;^)

Are you a modern Rip Van Winkle? Have you been sleeping since before 9/11/01???

There certainly has been enough evidence in the past 20 years of the intents of Muslims.

Perhaps when YOUR house & family are attacked by Muslims, you will finally understand.

I don’t need to get bitten by a rattlesnake to know how dangerous they are.

I fart towards Mecca. They bow towards Mecca five times a day. I don’t eat pork or camels. They don’t eat pork but do eat camels. I don’t kill people for insulting Islam. They do kill people for insulting Islam. Ergo, I am not a Muslim. They are.

They thought they were Muslim enough to bet their souls and lives on it. Yet leftist apologists who most likely never read the Qu’ran say they were not.

I suspect the devout Muslims know more about Islam than the irreligious atheists.

I lived and worked in Qatar, Kuwait and Iraq for five years, talked to them associated with them and read their Koran. These two were Islamist and are taught to hate Jews and other non believers from their mother's tit. The only difference between a moderate Muslim and an extremist is that the moderate Muslim just hasn't decided to go Jihad yet.
