But yeah, the radical faction that calls itself Islamic is similar to the Spanish Inquisition, Salem Witch trials, radical Evangelical right wing "Christians" and so on. Obama and his ilk say we ought not to call the radicals Moslems -- they aren't "real" Moslems. I totally agree with that. Radical nuts are radical nuts no matter what side they're on.

Addendum -- Oh, and Obama has also said that he has known a lot of reasonable people who happen to disagree with his views, that are Republicans, and are able to engage in civil discourse, when he was pointing out the problem(s) with the uncompromising obstructionist stance so much of the party has taken recently. That was closer to your point. A handful of nuts calling themselves Republicans does not discredit the mainstream reasonable people who simply have a different viewpoint than you/we have on the best courses of action. It is possible for people of good will to hold quite different opinions. One of the points of discussion is to understand each other's viewpoints and come to mutually acceptable agreements -- rather than, say, physically attacking the opposition.

I'm not sure how Repubs=Islam though

But it has been part of the repub party for a long time. The repub's have been condoning all of this to get that one extra vote. And have excepted with open arms the same people as their candidates. The vitriol they and their base have spewed has lead to even more radicalization. This is the same thing. When they say radical islamic terrorist. They really need to say right wing radical terrorist. That is the common thread. Look at the Oklahoma bombing and the mass shootings.
