Radical islam would be possible if it were splintered like Christianity.. but it is not. Sunni Islam is the predominate sect. and what we deem as 'radical islam' is a perfectly acceptable expression of the muslim faith if indeed one is called to it.
Which again, my point being this guy was making a go of living in a westernized way till he heard the call to what you call radical Islam. that is the danger I am trying to show you guys. Anyone at any point having a crisis of faith/religion can be turned into a literal bomb, and this religion totally clashes with any societal rules/norms outside of it's own, that means a crisis of faith is bound to be a struggle every 'westernized' Muslim has to deal with or reconcile in one way or another.
Why do you feel that everyone here (and Americans in general, I presume) requires Drich to explain the inherent dangers of fundamentalism to them, and that followers of Islam consist of a remarkably high number of fundamentalists? I have no need for you to spell that out for me.
Perhaps the coverage by the news outlets in your area was skewed, but the reports I've seen in regards to this story have overwhelmingly covered it a terror attack, not a hate crime. The fact that a measure of attention was been given to the LGBT community in light of the attack due to the fact that all of the victims were gay, doesn't translate into a failure to see the big picture. This story, as any other story, has moving parts; I reject the notion that the ability to recognize that automatically means that one is clueless, on the fence, or indoctrinated.
You might consider that it's your apparent hysteria that are others choosing not to to buy into. Perhaps they think it's counterproductive, and poses as much of a threat as the potential "could be's" in your "what if's".
Just a thought.
