In fact, radical Islam never really "went away" if you back track all the way back in time to the time of the crusades and the fall of Jerusalem.
I can name a host of norms in Islam and amongst muslims in modern day pakistan that was barbaric and inhumane back in the 1500-1900's....that they conducted on non-muslims and those who refused to convert...

Does the fact that radical Muslims haven't been able to get it done after five plus centuries tell us anything about the sustainability of their ideas?
Do we really want GWOT to be a conflict centering around the religious beliefs of the masses?
Is it prudent to define other human beings by one characteristic alone be it religion, nationality, profession, political practices, social standing, ideology, gender, or sexual preference?
