Confusing the permanent with the temporary

"The third position says Islam itself is the radical version.. It confuses the temporary with the permanent, the part with the whole."

The permanent historical terrorism since the beginning of Islam is ongoing and has never wavered. How then do we confuse the temporary with the permanent...is it not the other way around? Few "moderate' Muslims would not prefer the "rule of God' to our secular laws...they just let others do their fighting for them.
