The so-called "radicals" are nothing more than those who follow the teachings of Islam the closest. All Muslims are compelled to wage jihad against infidels, whether militarily or otherwise, as there are but two areas in the world according to Islam; Dar-al-Islam--Land of 'Peace'/absolute submission to Allah where Sharia law reigns, and Dar-al-Harb--Land of the Sword. Muslims who do not wage jihad in some way or at the very least do not speak against or hinder jihad (the vast majority of so-called 'moderate' Muslims are silent about that subject, there have been no great outcries or condemnation of terrorism in general or even the 9/11 attacks) are the true radicals, and in Muslim-dominant countries, ones who are against jihad and speak out against it are even persecuted and killed, as this is what Muslims are compelled to do to heretics.
The number one goal of Islam is nothing less than world domination, which is very clearly laid out in the Koran. We are at war with Islam, and if we are ever going to get anywhere with it, our government and country as a whole needs to recognize this...though I really can't see this ever happening as we are too set on this self-destructive path to move away from it.
(I apologize for any references that I cannot think of where exactly a consolidated list of information could be found. It is pretty involved stuff that anyone would be hard-pressed to find in any singular place. Also I am sorry if any of this comes across as rambling, I am just writing things as I think of them.)
Examples of how war is being waged against us include:
*infiltration of our government to change national policies in favor of Islam, even including the DoD ordering the removal of ALL references to Islam and anything that is offensive to it in our anti-terrorist military/police training...I really wonder what little there is left in that training any more. There are a lot of people with connections to the Muslim Brotherhood and other terrorism-affiliated groups in high places in our government, as well as people who are very close to and influenced by them.
There are a whopping FIVE congressmen trying to bring attention to this. Everyone else either ignores it/deflects the issue because they are too spineless to talk about it, their political career is too important to them as doing so would ruin their ability to remain in office, not to mention proving to be very incriminating for those who are involved in terrorist connections.
*lying about what Islam is really about in order to get people to become complacent and blind to what they are doing, which is the doctrine of
Taqiyya--hence the whole religion of peace/tolerance/etc. crap that is constantly being shoved down our throats by US media and also publicity fronts of terrorism such as CAIR and ISNA, which have been proven to fund and receive funding by Al Qaeda, Hamas, etc. during the
Holy Land Foundation investigation, and yet our government allows such organizations to exist and do whatever they want.
*infiltration of our educational system (both public and private), teaching kids in ways that favor Sharia law and jihad, showing Islam in a positive light. This has not spread terribly far at this point but it will only get worse. This of course contradicts the policy that no religion should be promoted in school teaching, but nothing is done about it, there is far too much liberal hypocritical influence, as liberals' version of 'tolerance' is very much the same as how Muslims view 'tolerance,' meaning tolerate what we want or else. Christianity is looked down upon as being horrible and intolerant (i.e. painting us with broad brushes based on the idiots who are not Christian at all like Wesboro Baptist Church, getting hung up on severe misunderstanding of the crusades--very few people in general have any real knowledge of them as there is a lot of revisionist history flying around, not understanding what the Old and New Covenants are and having zero knowledge of any biblical context, thus portraying Old Testament times as barbaric, denigrating the reliability/historicity of the bible and even the existence of Christ even though there is far more proof for all of that than of ANY writing in existence including ones with barely any or unreliable proofs/manuscripts/etc. that are widely accepted without question, and so on) and yet Islam is portrayed very positively.
*one that is unfortunately largely unavoidable currently: oil consumption. Much of the profits they receive from oil we buy from Muslim-dominant countries goes toward funding terrorism. Whenever we buy gas for our cars (unless it is from the US or Canada, which is extremely unlikely due to our government's policies on drilling) or any other product derived from oil such as plastic, we are indirectly supporting terrorism. One of the biggest harbourers of terrorism (and the country where most of the 9/11 attackers were from) is actually one of our 'allies'--Saudi Arabia, because of all the oil they have. And our government actually sells military equipment to them, even including fighter jets. We sell them the weapons and provide them the funding to kill our troops over there because of the massive amounts of oil this country needs to run.
*terrorist training camps IN THE US that our government merely "keeps an eye on" where people are taught guerrilla warfare tactics, making IEDs, conducting training assaults on civilian buildings, and so on.
*the radicalization of many prison inmates, especially black people who have been found to more readily accept Islam in that environment. Korans, jihadist writings, and personal teaching of the practices of jihad is allowed to go unhindered.
*and last but certainly not least, all of the many terrorist attacks against us and our allies (especially Israel). These should be considered acts of war but we have such a wimpy government currently that they go along with the lies that terrorists are just a fringe group.
This website has a ton of information about terrorist attacks, understanding Islam, current events showing the sorry state of things here and abroad, and I believe of particular interest to people of this forum, large lists they publish each month about the persecution of Christians worldwide by Islam--vandalism, rape, murder, seducing Christian girls with promises of acceptance and living a better life only to force them to become sex slaves passed around like a joint, burnings of houses and churches, even calls by leading imams (the highest spiritual authorities of Islam) to destroy all churches and murder all Christians in certain countries.
Islam is a religion of 'peace' as in peace on their terms. There are only three means of achieving 'peace' in Islam: remitting your faith and converting, submitting yourself to dhimmitude (servitude), which includes paying a tax and being viewed/treated as less than pig excrement, or imprisonment/torture/execution of you and your family if you do not do either of the first two (this includes atheists as well,
everyone who is not a Muslim is an infidel).
This article provides a lot of information about the underpinnings of all this.
