Actually, it is neither “radical Islam” nor “extreme Islam”. The Truth is that what we are seeing play out on the world stage is Fundamental Islam! It’s the Basics of what Muhammad taught. For example:
Fundamental Islam requires Muslims to not assimilate but to dominate non-Islamic societies when they are in a position to do so. Mass migration (hijra/civilization jihad) and increased population growth, gone uncontrolled by host countries, helps Islam gain advantage. Europe and The Netherlands are seeing this first-hand. America will be next if the “refugee resettlement program” continues aided and abetted by the State Department under the guise of “humanitarian assistance” to Muslims fleeing the Middle East conflicts. This will soon create a clash of civilizations in the near future due to the fact that Islam is also NOT compatible with the U.S. Constitution.
The fundamental rule proclaimed by Muhammad is this:
“The Prophet (peace be upon him) said: I am commanded to fight with men until they testify that there is no god but Allah, and that Muhammad is His servant and His Apostle, face our qiblah (direction of prayer), eat what we slaughter, and pray like us. When they do that, their life and property are unlawful for us except what is due to them. They will have the same rights as the Muslims have, and have the same responsibilities as the Muslims have.” (Sunan Abu-Dawud, Book 14, Number 2635, Narrated Anas ibn Malik)
As we know, the real problem is when politicians and Islamic apologists side-step the truth because the Qur’an is what the fundamental faith of Islam is built upon – and the Qur’an has many verses that command Muslims to use terror in subjecting this world to Islamic rule; An undeniable fact. (Widely accepted text versions = Yusuf Ali)
“Soon shall We cast terror into the hearts of the Unbelievers, for that they joined companions with Allah, for which He had sent no authority: their abode will be the Fire: And evil is the home of the wrong-doers!” (Qur’an:003.151)
“And fight them on until there is no more tumult or oppression, and there prevail justice and faith in Allah altogether and everywhere; but if they cease, verily Allah doth see all that they do.” (Qur’an:008.039)
…and that’s just for starters!

Just a little point in case you might be interested.
Some of Ayn Rand’s work was nicked by Anton La Vey. He ranted it up a bit, and it now forms part of the Satanic Bible.

What is that backdrop in these videos? I’m sure it’s green screened but I wonder about the choice of this image and what its meaning might be. Thanks.

It looks like the Cathedral of Cordoba in Spain.

Yes it does, Lizzy. I believe you are right about that. An interesting history.

To warn the readers about Islamic tactics regarding the word jihad, I feel I should write this:
The word jihad has been recently twisted and abused to mean internal struggle
The language meaning of the word jihad is struggle. The Quran used the word jihad only to mean war for the sake of Allah. The Quran didn’t suggest that jihad could mean internal struggle, as Muslims want us to believe. The Quranic meaning of jihad (ie war for the sake of Allah) is what I (and other Muslims) have been taught. To my knowledge, there is nothing in hadith that suggests other meanings for jihad.
However, I agree that jihad could also mean internal struggle but that would be a distant meaning of the word and certainly not the meaning meant in the Quran.
This information might be useful when debating “moderate” Muslims who try to polish the teachings of Islam:

Is it a coincidence that Hitler named his book “Mein Kampf”, meaning “My Struggle” or “My Jihad”?

There might had been a time jihad meant “struggle,” but there was also a time that tyrant meant “good leader.” Then people took that word and under it did horrible things. The same has happened with jihad, it no longer means “struggle,” it means “war crime.”

One can only hope that one day our “leaders” and so-called journalists will finally realize that “radical Islam” is the real deal.
I have no reason to believe that core, root, or radix is what that phrase means to them.
Angemon says
“Radical” is just a substitute for “extreme”, and Ayn Rand thoroughly debunked the “extremism” nonsense over half a century ago.
