Nehru bai, that is not 'radical Islam'. That is 'radical Muslims'. Islam can be radical or not but it cannot be both. If you think there is such a thing as radical Islam, then you have to believe that every Muslim is radical.
I hear your explanation and say you are correct. What I should have said is those who interpret Islam in the ways I stated are Radicals. YES, the RELIGION of Islam is not radical. Thanks for correcting me.
Indeed there are a lot of Muslims who are taking a radical approach to how they practice Islam and unfortunately it is pushing them backward. I don't believe that Allah wished Muslims to be unlearned or backward. The very first Qur'anic passage revealed to the Prophet was about reading and writing;
اقْرَأْ بِاسْمِ رَبِّكَ الَّذِي خَلَقَ
خَلَقَ الْإِنسَانَ مِنْ عَلَقٍ
عَلَّمَ الْإِنسَانَ مَا لَمْ يَعْلَمْ
Proclaim! (or read!) in the name of thy Lord and Cherisher, Who created
Created man, out of a (mere) clot of congealed blood
Proclaim! And thy Lord is Most Bountiful
He Who taught (the use of) the pen
Taught man that which he knew not
Qur'an, 96:1-5
