Well, this is interesting, because the very first thing that sprang to mind when I saw the word "terrorist" was the IRA; not an organisation particularly known for its muslim affiliations.

And why do they say 'radical' Islam, btw ??
Why not 'fundamentalist' Islam, or 'conservative' Islam, or 'literal' Islam ??
The granting of a pardon is an imputation of guilt, and the acceptance a confession of it.

I think that you might be better off picking a single thing to rail about at a time OP.
I am the Infantry. I am my country’s strength in war, her deterrent in peace. I am the heart of the fight… wherever, whenever. I carry America’s faith and honor against her enemies. I am the Queen of Battle. I am what my country expects me to be, the best trained Soldier in the world. In the race for victory, I am swift, determined, and courageous, armed with a fierce will to win. Never will I fail my country’s trust. Always I fight on…through the foe, to the objective, to triumph overall. If necessary, I will fight to my death. By my steadfast courage, I have won more than 200 years of freedom. I yield not to weakness, to hunger, to cowardice, to fatigue, to superior odds, For I am mentally tough, physically strong, and morally straight. I forsake not, my country, my mission, my comrades, my sacred duty. I am relentless. I am always there, now and forever. I AM THE INFANTRY! FOLLOW ME!

I hope the mere fact doesn't surprise you?

No, I'm actually quite happy; I have an orthotics appointment. I'm just like "Wow, this new (to me) guy needs to stop it with the Red Bull and the Peeps. It's only 6:44am in my time zone. Long day ahead."

I was going off 'radical' for a Bill and Ted surfer dude vibe, more than a Paul Newman and Uncle Ben one.

For me it will always be the RAF, because that's what I grew up with.
