No. Here is my argument.

There are a group of people who follow Islam that are bad. Not all, but some. This center starts to get talked about, and you have some people on one side saying wait a minute, this thing could be being built by the small part of Islam that is bad. The other side is saying that part of Islam doesn't even exist. your making it all up in your head. There is no such thing as radical Islam.

This guy says "oh really? Well, let's see if that's true".

Look I know not everyone makes a fetish out of 9/11. 

But I think we all know it happened.  And I think we all know that the perpretrators were in fact Muslim and claiming that they acted in the name of Allah or whatever. 

Who do you know who denies any of that? 

The federal government. We have removed radical Islam as a term from our homeland defense strategy. Eric Holder couldn't even say or equate what happened at Fort Hood to radical Islam. He was unwilling to do so.

They are taking these acts as nothing more then independent crazy people with no ties whatsoever. To protect the 95% of Muslims that are good people, they allow the other 5 percent to act in an organized, connected, and well funded manner while telling us that's not going on.

Find a better way to protect Islam, without telling us there are no problems with the fringe of that religion.

You just told me the government denies that the attacks of Sept. 11, 2001 were prepretrated by Muslims claiming they followed the will of Allah. 

I think you may be getting worked up over a difference in vocabulary.  Perhaps the government feels that the term "radical Islam" as many people use it has implications that they don't want to be making. 

No. I am saying people want us to think it was a disconnected group of crazies who don't have the same drive and determination as thousands of other Muslims. That there is some other reason they did it... there mother didn't love them enough, or it's just retaliation for a past war. They will not say it's because when you radicalize that religion, people conduct themselves worse then when you radicalize other religions.

A radical Christian threatened to burn some books. A radical Muslim shot people at Fort Hood.

If you asked Obama:

"Is Radical Islam one of the factors responsible for 9/11?", you will get a long answer, and it won't equate to "Yes".
