Legitimizing Islamic Radicalization
Prompted by Marylou’s search for the truth.
As a civil society, we must resist the temptation to blame their family, nation and religion for the acts of the individuals, and we must not give them the cover to hide under a religious label for their evil acts.
Indeed they quote the scripture and instead of eagerly accepting them, we must open Quraan and find the truth. There is a successful experiment on the subject and it was a neglected story in the media.
In 2008, a judge in Yemen challenged the Al-Qaida inmates to find the verses in Quraan that justify their acts, he gave them three months to find, if you find it, he said I'll join your movement or would you reject it if you don’t find it? They in fact were outraged for being duped and have become hunters for the Al-Qaida men.
Same story was repeated in Dallas Dallas
Finding the truth is a responsibility, the society would be better off by freeing themselves from suspicion and anxieties from our hearts and finding peace within.

Mike, you say below: Phrases such as "Islamic radicalism" are oxymoron and must be avoided to uphold our civility. What would be a your term? I think the term "Islam" is used because they quote scripture to justify. Perhaps you could give some clarity on this. Thanks. Blessings, M.
