For instance #1. It is not radical to demand prayer in school; however, if it is denied and you blew up the school because of it, that would be radical.

It is entertaining to see folks try to compare radical Islam to Christianity.  Look how radical all the Christians got when SSM was deemed to be legal Federally. We had one National story of a clerk in rural Kentucky refuse to issue the license and it was the biggest story in the Nation for quite some time.  

I find it amusing that people like to compare Islam to Christianity even without radicalism involved. And what I find even more amusing is how many liberal democrats over here are trying to defend Islam when how many countries out there institute Sharia Law into the legislation? And worse how many Muslims would want to see it in place if it isnt already? Everything about Sharia Law is abhorrent to our modern civil liberties and our Bill of Rights which is the foundation of our Western societies.

The most obvious thing that a blind person can see is how the "Christian West" has evolved over the last 300+ years compared to the Islamic middle east. Christians read the same Bible as Muslims have likewise read their book over the centuries. Yet, for whatever reason, the west went from farmers and merchants 300 years ago to landing on the freaking moon, and providing the world with things like electricity, radio, cars, healthcare advancements, democracy, etc. The Middle East has done what? What have they offered the world outside of ancient fossil fuels that they just happened to luck into? 

And how is it in the year 2015 that thousands and thousands Muslims that have read the Quran are flocking to IS and other groups in the name of Islam and "He who shall not be named", yet radical Christians  are breaking the law by trying to have 3 wives or denying a gay marriage license as you said or things like that. KKK isnt riding around anymore with the law on their side, and other historical groups liek them (besides the KKK are teddy bears compared to ISIS). Radical Christians arent slamming 747s into buildings. Radical Christians in groups arent massacring people like in Paris, Mali, Syria, and other places in quite some time now. Both sides have read their same respective books over the centuries, yet look at the world from a looking glass where the Christian roots are verses where Islam roots are.
