You cracked the code, Susan!

Susan, I believe you just cracked the "code" that the Muslims and Muslim apologists are using!

Bingo! You just you cracked the code used by Muslims and apologists to differentiate between "radicals" and "moderates" in Islam (you and I know they are one and the same).

In their code-language, "moderate" Muslims are those who simply want to engage in mass migration and live "peacefully" amongst the Western countries (until the day their population numbers allows them to "vote in" a caliphate). The "radicals" are the ones blowing things up in order to weaken the resolve of the West to stand firm against the migratory attack of the "moderates".

In reality, they are simply two branches of the same enemy army, with the same end goal. Differentiation between "radical" and "moderates" in Islam is nothing more than semantics.
