So what war are you trying to fight? iSIS or Islam? You call it radical Islam, he calls it a distortion of Islam. Your way insults Muslims with peaceful views of the religion, his insults those who carry that extreme philosophy.
Similar lessons are in the Bible. If a group started killing in the name of the bible... Chopping off hands for, poking out eyes, stoning to death... Would you call them radical Christians?
are you telling me that there has been a Reformation in Islam? i don't think so....
80% of muslims may prefer to lead ordinary peaceful lives but the other 20% are in war against the infidels (us)....but they are all following the same basic Koran and teachings of Muhammad....which includes the so-called 'extreme' teachings....
that's why some Muslim offspring become radicals......it's all there in the book.....
So instead of focusing on Isis and other organized terror groups you want to fight against the ideology of Islam. Do you see how this can be counterproductive?
What, exactly, is the "ideology of Islam" as you put it?
Im not talking about the entire ideology but the areas like Sharia law and any other teachings in the Koran that go against our way of life. There seems to be a call from people like to OP to focus on these things... Many of which are also in the bible btw... And wage a war against these teachings of Islam.
Fact is, most Muslims are peaceful, and don't take everything in the Koran literal... Same for Christians... Terror groups and people like the Orlando shooter, aren't devote religious scholars/followers... They are just war hungry thugs that distort their religion and use it as justification to wreck havoc. They are who the real war is against.
