You know, the media talks about radical Islam. I bet you only a small minority have read the Koran, which is actually a trilogy of books: the Koran, the Sira, and the Hadith.
If they did, they would take not that nowhere does it say jihad, killing of kafirs, dhimmis, and world domination is radical. If ot says it, I missed it, and i have read a good portion of the Koran, and 5 books about it.
American liberal media decided to call it a peace loving religion, and to tag the Isis's and Al Queada's radical, but in reality, that is pure BS. THE KORAN CALLS EVERY SINGLE ABLE BODIED MUSLIM TO CONTRIBUTE IN JIHAD IN SOME WAY OR FORM. To never rest until THE WHOLE WORLD is either Islam, or slaves of Islam. And slave is the correct word, because the way the Koran reads, if your not a Muslim, your contemptible, lower then a dog, and not worthy of respect. You lose almost all common human and basic rights in their view of how a Islam society should be conducted.
The very word Islam means submission or surrender. To their Allah. If you don't, you can be killed by a Muslim and he will be rewarded for it by their Allah.
It is not radical, it's the normal for their religion.
As far as peace loving, if ones definition of peace is a 1400 year history (called the tears of jihad) of slaughtering 270 MILLION people for the cause of world wide domination peaceful, well the, ex President Bush, current president Obama, Hillary Clinton, and all you liberal newspapers, TV outlets, and college professors, your either supremely ignorant, or outright liars.
Mohammad preached peacefully in Mecca the first 13 years after his vision in a cave from the angel of Allah. And he made 100 converts, mostly family and friends.
Then he went to Medina, and converted his religious message into a political and legal message, He then began to preach violence. In the next 27 years, until he dies, by the edge of the sword, he made 150,000 converts.
If Mohammad had stayed the course of peaceful conversion, Islam would have died out after he died, because it probably would have had not more then maybe 300 converts.
The soft head liberal Americans (sometimes knowledge puffs up, and the educated get more stupid then smart, especially if you don't have God) may yearn to bend over backwards to be politically correct, to paint the Muslims as victims, to teach apologetics in our schools about the poor, poor Muslims, and how the evil white men enslaved Africans (which I am not of course defending, just trying to make a point here- btw, Muslims have enslaved more people then any religious group in the world, probably more then all of them put together, according to available records) and how dare we speak badly about Islam, because you want to ease your depraved guilty conscience, and want everyone else to comply to your twisted world view, but I am not going down that misguided path for a second.
So lets be real, they are not radical, they are just putting the words into action, unlike most of them. Not because most of the the others don't believe its wrong, but because they have something in common with many of us Christians, they are lukewarm, and they are not putting their beliefs and faith into action.
But don't doubt even for a minute that those that act are more radical then those that don't. Most Muslims believe the same "radical" blueprint.
If they didn't, then they are not really Muslims. If they are in the mood to be honest, and not use the excuse of all the duality in their book, they will admit that themselves. Its like saying I'm a Christian but I don't believe in Jesus.
