I've never seen it before if it exists. I don't get why a lot of Muslims are so upset that people don't view Islam as a "religion of peace", when Muslims are constantly on CNN, and your local newspapers having blown up people in the name of their "peaceful religion". I agree there are a lot of fanatical Christians and Jews. However, whenwas the last time a pissed off Rabbi or a Christian monk held a few aircraft hostage with a bowie knife, blew up about 700 people in a business plaza, or committed mass suicide in the name of their God, and "peaceful religion"?
I don't accept or follow any religion, but so far as peaceful goes...I'll have to say the Buddhists are the closest to this notion. One could argue..."oh, they do martial arts". Ok, let's keep it real. I'm talking about blowing up masses of people and maiming innocents.
No one has yet to prove Islam is a peaceful religion. Anyone can purchase a Koran and read all the passages about killing non-beleivers. Save the drama.

Will...exactly my point. Buddhists aren't out trying to scare people into joining their faith. They are also not murdering in the name of it, and sanctioning the mistreatment of women.

Someone can be radical, in that they take the beliefs to the extreme. In fact, many Buddhist monks would fall into the 'radical' category, because they completely shut themselves away from the world in pursuit of the detachment from the material.
But it's hard to be evangelical and believe in detachment.
As far as Islam, it's as peaceful as Christianity. Both have horrible rules in their holy books, and both have had leaders and groups commit atrocities in their names. But both also teach love and compassion and tolerance, at least in theory.
So, either you can accept that some people embrace the peace and tolerance that is at the core of the beliefs by rejecting the violence, or you can hold everyone accountable for the actions of a few.

there is a term called,"cutting up the Qur'an",it is used to describe those particular muslims who isolate a verse of the Qur'anic Text and pursue and promote it,strictly on it's wording.This is often how many have divided the religion into sects,as many Christians and Jews know all too well,as this has happened in their religion.The reason that many refer to Islam as,"the Religion of Peace",is because the goal is to attain Furdous,or the High Heaven where they may earn the right to see God's Face.One of the Beautiful Names that belong to God,in the Arabic language,is "As-Salaam!",loosely translated as the Source of Peace,and it is a perfect description of God,because nothing disturbs Him.And during these times that we live in,who can claim that they are not disturbed.And God revealed the Qur'an in Truth,if you or anyone located a verse that commands those who believe to do a thing that you considered,unpeaceful, then why is it that you are so disturbed?If that is their goal,the good pleasure of God,what is your goal,the pleasure of your self?There are many in this life and times who agree with you and disagrees with me,and that is ok.because we all were created in truth,and we all must die,and that is a truth.But whether you believe or not,everything created must return to it's Creator.And if this disturbs you and others because you reject this,then a word to the ignorant,PEACE!

i think of many are lacking an significant factor of your question. If infinity did no longer exist, and yet we've been waiting to receive arbitrarily extreme precision, of course no longer something would substitute (a minimum of ignoring on the quantum point). yet your computer occasion is lots extra precise: right here there's a fixed shrink to our precision, and as a effect, something that required larger precision would go through.

most jews do not partake of radical behaviour since other people's beliefs or nonbeliefs do not interest us in the slightest, but i think christians blowing up abortion clinics is pretty radical, so i wouldnt leave them out of this little commentary.

Evangelical doesn't mean "blows things up". Evangelical means "spreading the good news".

I have never met or even heard of a radical Buddhist.
Do you know of one?
