Most Germans 80 years ago did not strangle a single Jew with their own hands. Many, probably a majoirty of Germans were not Nazis. Still, many Germans did not wish to have much to do with Jews, and today the vast and very unquestionable majority of Muslims wordwide dispise Jews and do not wish to have anything to do with them and do not want to live housedoor to housedoor with them, we know that from many emprical studies in many different Muslim and Western countries. So, still, Nazism and the terror it brought to the world, is of German origin. And Gemany and Germans have something to do with it. Even if not every German applauded the KZs. Or knew of their existence. The same way Islamic culture and society has to accept repsonsibility that radicalsm is not separated from it, but is bred in the very core and centre of Islam - by Islam itself.
This endlessly repeated discussion of that most Muslims are claimed to be peaceful and not radical, leads nowhere, and just should distract from the barbaric content of Islamic ideology and instead wants to declare it the victim and by that make it unavailable for crital views and criticism - all this ideology is at the very root of the problem. And that ideology all too often is not open to and is no question of interpretation, but indeed is explicitly resistant to being distorted by different ways of interpretation. Thats why Muhammad preached the way he did - to prevent right this. Strength (and his own rule) by totalitarian unity. Tolerance for different opinions and views, mutliculturalism, never was on his agenda. You live dangerous when disagreeing with Muhammad. Back then. And still so today.

Garbage Holocaust analogy aside - nothing of what you're saying squares against the fact that the
overwhelming majority of victims of Islamic terrorism are Muslims themselves.
Which easily gets rid of your overly simplistic "
Islam is radical" explanation.
