'RADICAL' ISLAM

Submitted by DONVAN (United States), Jul 16, 2010 at 10:00

"I'slam" , Arabic for "You will( or must ) submit". The name itself is a threat, an order, and a demand. The consequences of non- submission is Koranic permission to those who have "Submitted" (Mu'slams) to destroy those who have not, ( ie infidels, Christians, Jews, etc). This is mainstream dogma of Islam, not a radical intrepretation. To the extent that most "Mu'slams" have not acted on this dogma is evidence that Judeochristian inspired humanism still has effect, even against an ideology of death.
