What is “radical” Islam? “Radical” and regular Islam are merely different parts of the same spear—both have their foundation in the Qur’an, as Christianity does in the Bible. “Radical” Islam is the spear point; regular Islam is the spear shaft.
Christianity and Islam are oil and water. Biblical Christianity says that Christ is God; Islam vehemently denies that. He is a mere man—a prophet and teacher. Islam absolutely rejects Christ as the redeemer God, as “peaceful” Muslims do not need a redeemer, they say, just a guide. Thus, Islam guts Christianity, which says all sinners need the redeemer God.
Hence the very name, Christianity.
So? Three Americans died in Benghazi, “over there.” Four died in Chattanooga, over here. We cannot defeat a misidentified enemy. The constitution protects all American citizens, but we must not allow more Muslims in. And let’s drop the word “radical.”
