I think that what we have to understand is that there are three leagues of Muslims: non-observant, observant and radical. There are proportionally very few non-observant muslims. The large majority of the ummah is observant, and then we have those who are radical.
This is the same as almost any religion, apart from you will find that there are more Christians who aren't particularly Christian and therefore find themselves in the non-observant catregory. The difference with Islam is those who take a radical approach to it are on a completely different level to radical Christians, or Jews, or Hindus (?) or any other religion.
Radical Muslims believe that an Islamic state is THE answer. There is no other solution. This is what Allah wants, what he intended, and as Muslims this is our purpose on earth. The kuffar are unbelievers. Either, they convert to Islam and become radical muslims themselves, or they die. That is as simple as it gets.
The experience that I have had of Islamist networks in Britain, predominantly the Hizb ut-Tahrir, has shown me that these people are willing to stop at nothing.
Today, i was watching the news. Eight or so Muslims have been arrested for plotting to smuggle hydrogen peroxide bombs on board seven flights leaving the UK and flying to the US. They were described as being 'indifferent' about the carnage that would ensue.
This is the side to Islam that is just so disturbing it becomes difficult to accept and embrace a religion that can produce such people.
