But see there you go, that's exactly the sort of thing I'm talking about.  The Muslims going apeshit over the Koran bonfire are NOT all connected to terrorists.  It's not a coherent group or even necessarily shared philosophy like talking about "Radical Islam" may imply. 

Yes it is. There are many many radical Muslims connected to one another though organized religions institutions. 

What do you think Al-Qaeda is? 

Not a "religious institution".  But then I wouldn't say the Moral Majority was a religious institution either - rather a religiously motivated political organization.  Maybe you disagree? 

I don't really care what you call it, I am just saying these guys would not exist if not for Islam.

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Al-Qaeda

Al-Qaeda ideologues envision a complete break from the foreign influences in Muslim countries, and the creation of a new Islamic caliphate. Reported beliefs include that a Christian-Jewish alliance is conspiring to destroy Islam,[11] which is largely embodied in the U.S.-Israel alliance, and that the killing of bystanders and civilians is religiously justified in jihad.
