It is important to note that Islam has ramifications upon political systems, social conduct (enforced), military strataegy and not simply beliefs to do with God, prayers or supplication to such.thatkidakayoungguy wrote:Fair enough, but then it must be said most Muslims are radicals, since they don't follow word for word what the Koran says.

Not all Muslims pay attention to, or heed the words of Muhammad were he says to kill the immoral infidels, bring terror to them. At the end of the day people also have a moral conscience embedded within them. Yet, the Muslims who are actually hypocritical and radical with their Islam, are not the terrorists who are the ones remaining faithful to Islamic teachings.
I think, that's what much of secular society, or a gullible Western society, doesn't really understand. They don't really take Islamic beliefs as found in the Quran seriously. Where they read rather extreme sounding words, it boggles their mind so much, they think there is surely a way around such words because noone could seriously embrace such horrific sounding things.
So your Westerner tunes out, letting themselves be guided by their cultivated Western sensibilities, to think there is this thing call "extreme Islam" when in fact Islamic teachings are extreme. Moderate Islam, there is really no such thing (as Erdogan himself said). What we call such, we may as well call it hypocritical Islam or false Islam. Like Christians, like in any "religion", there are a whole lot of hypocrites or people going with what they "feel" is right, rather than what is actually taught as truth.
In the case of Islam, and Muslims who wouldn't dare chop of our heads as infidels but protect us from those Muslims faithfully carrying out Allah's commands, such are a blessing. Yet, the root issue isn't the people, or Muslims, being your kind or extreme type, rather in the teachings and Islamic ideology itself.
