I agree with most of that, with a couple of exceptions.
-Islamic terrorists don’t kill for the sake of killing. While they tend to be much more fanatical that other terrorists, they DO have agendas beyond merely killing lots of people. If these agendas are met (they never will be), the killings would stop.
-While Winter is clearly not a militant Islamist, he’s on the path to radicalization. His rhetoric - which has gotten significantly stronger - shows it. He’s gone from merely defending the more unsavory aspects of his religion to actively hoping for the deaths of Westerners and the destruction of Western civilization. I suspect that his disability is the only thing keeping him from taking a more active role. Maybe the best way to put it is that he IS radicalized, just not active.
