Radical islam has a lot in common with Obama’s communist “Black Liberation” theology. It also advocates violence and revolution.
///
there is no “Radical Islam”.
there is only Islam.
the Quran itself, commands Muslims, to do jihad,
and SPECIFICALLY to “terrorize” and kill, unbelievers.

Islamists are not misunderstanding Islam.
they are simply following the clear teachings of it!

Sura (8:12) - “I will cast terror into the hearts of those who disbelieve. Therefore strike off their heads and strike off every fingertip of them”
Ibn Ishaq: 327 - Allah said, A prophet must slaughter before collecting captives. A slaughtered enemy is driven from the land. Muhammad, you craved the desires of this world, its goods and the ransom captives would bring. But Allah desires killing them to manifest the religion.
Ibn Ishaq: 992 - “Fight everyone in the way of Allah and kill those who disbelieve in Allah.”
Point taken. I was just trying to distinguish between the aggressive/violent members of the 'religion' and the basically passive ones.
